Summary

For over a decade at BBC Newsnight, Sam McAlister secured the interviews others couldn't – Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, Stormy Daniels. But it was six months of negotiation that led to the conversation that changed everything: Prince Andrew discussing his ties to Jeffrey Epstein in 2019. Today, Sam teaches negotiation at LSE and is one of Britain's most compelling voices on persuasion, power, and resilience. This is Sam McAlister's Crisis Compass FOLLOW CRISIS WHAT CRISIS?
