Karna shares the untold stories of her time as Deputy Press Secretary under President Ronald Reagan, including the day of the attempted assassination and her behind-the-scenes experiences in the White House Situation Room.
Karna reveals how her career inspired a successful second act as a bestselling author, writing political thrillers drawn from her real-life experiences with global security threats and defense strategies. She also discusses her creative process, the importance of preparation, and how a sense of duty led her through some of the highest-pressure roles in American politics.
Listeners will gain a rare, inside look at leadership, history, risk-taking, and the power of storytelling—from someone who lived it at the highest levels of government.
