Summary

What if your job required you to talk people down from murdering their wife, calming someone down on the brink of suicide, or coaching someone over the phone on how to survive being held hostage?

This is the reality for a hostage negotiator - where if their words aren’t delivered precisely the right way, it can mean the LOSS OF LIVES!

This week, Alex Clark sits down with Sergeant Ericka Stropka, Hostage Negotiator from Tucson, Arizona. Ericka shares the hardest and the most successful moments in her career, from her first day on the job to the experienced professional she is today.

BONUS – Alex even asks about the Lisa Frank factory in Tucson, and Ericka spills some unexpected TEA that you won’t want to miss!
