Join our fascinating discussion as Gary DeWaal reflects on how he got started in the derivatives industry from wearing his scarlet badge and learning the business as a CFTC enforcement officer in the trading pits to leading the Katten Financial Markets and Regulation Practice and the many experiences along the way.
Some of the timely themes discussed include some of Gary's observations on DOGE and streamlining the agency, the trade off of the CFTC’s principles based regulations and enforcement authority, crypto and blockchain and the potential impact on financial markets, quantum computing, and some of exciting things to look forward from the CFTC going forward under Acting Chairman Pham and the nomination of Brian Quintenz. In Gary’s words, “we’re at the cusp of potentially very exciting regulatory developments” — join us as we continue to explore these developments and so much more!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
