Do you think you're an ethical person? Ever knowingly run a red light? Ever walked off with office supplies that weren't yours? Ever say or do something that maybe isn't technically illegal, but wasn't exactly the right thing to do? Ever wonder why?

They discuss ethical shading, situational ethics, what compliance departments do, and how to accept the fact that we're all only human.
