Episode 16 w/ Crisis Management + Security Expert Brian Cooke

Summary

In this episode of Full Spectrum Risk, Brian “Cookie” Cooke joins us to unpack the human side of risk: executive protection, travel security, crisis readiness, and what it really takes to keep people safe in an unpredictable world. Drawing on more than 25 years across the Marine Corps, the U.S. Department of State, Fortune 25 corporate security, and global consulting, Cookie explains why too many organizations wait until a crisis hits to take security seriously, and what separates programs that work from those that only look good on paper. This conversation is a practical look at preparedness, leadership, and the security decisions that matter most before things go wrong.
