In this powerful episode Amb. Elisha sat with communication expert and former press secretary Mike Swenson as he shares decades of wisdom on crisis management, leadership under pressure, and proactive reputation protection.

Mike—whose 32-year run as a national PR firm leader shaped the way brands handle turmoil—dives into the CrisisTrack method, a 4-step crisis preparedness system used by companies, nonprofits, and institutions across America.

• The #1 mistake leaders make during high-pressure moments

• How to respond publicly when disaster hits—with clarity and speed

• The power of planning, simplicity, and team dynamics in surviving and thriving through chaos
