Episode 8: Consumer Protection, FinTech, and Federal Overreach with Iowa AG Brenna Bird
Iowa AG Brenna Bird credits growing up on a farm — getting up early, taking care of the animals, learning how to get things done — as the most valuable training she's ever had. Now Iowa's top law enforcement official, Bird joins hosts Shannen W. Coffin and Benjamin M. Saul of Steptoe to discuss the wide-ranging work of her office — from a cold case unit tackling 400+ unsolved homicides to combating a surge in imposter and romance scams. Bird explains how she balances consumer protection with financial innovation, offers FinTech firms practical advice on engaging constructively with state AG offices, and describes her Farm and Freedom Team's push against overreach from both the federal government and certain large states like California. Her message to businesses: build the relationship before you need it.
