In this episode of the Crisis Designer Podcast, we’re joined by Scott Campbell, founder of NXUS, where he designs fully immersive war room simulations that test decision-making, collaboration, and self-awareness in high-stakes environments.
Drawing from a career that spans journalism, disaster response, cyber incidents, and leadership coaching, Scott shares how real pressure changes behavior and why most leaders are never truly trained for the moments that matter most.
We explore how immersive simulations can recreate cognitive overload, emotional stress, and uncertainty in a safe but intense setting, allowing participants to experience crisis before it happens.
If you’re designing crisis exercises, training leaders, or exploring how to build confidence and clarity under pressure, this episode offers a deep look into the psychology and craft behind high-impact simulations.
