You Don’t Want To Be the Next Case Study - A conversation with Jason Flint

In this episode of the Crisis Designer Podcast, we sit down with Jason Flint, a crisis management and corporate security leader with more than 15 years of experience helping global organizations navigate disruption.

He shares how he approaches day-to-day crisis readiness, what different industries—from aviation to tech to luxury goods—taught him about risk, and why resilience is a long-term discipline rather than a compliance milestone. Jason also breaks down the current threat landscape, including the rise of AI-driven deception, deepfakes and the challenge of verifying what’s real in real time.

We explore what strong crisis management looks like behind the scenes: stakeholder engagement, preparedness, realistic exercises, gamified scenarios and the need to test vulnerabilities rather than rehearse safe assumptions. Jason walks through how he designs exercises, how he keeps teams engaged, and why the recovery phase is often the most revealing part of any simulation.

This conversation is packed with practical insights, candid reflections and a reminder that crisis leadership is as much about people as it is about plans.
