Meet Matt Lara in this episode with Dominique Ramirez. Matt has called Austin home for over a decade, and in that time, he's made his mark as a Global Crisis and Issues Communicator. His job? To work behind the scenes, preventing potential disasters from hitting the headlines. But, as he likes to say, 'I know I’m doing my job right if nobody knows who I am.'
Matt’s journey from serving in the Air Force to his current role in high-stakes communication is a testament to his ability of staying calm under pressure as well as being able to stay cool when everything around him seems to be on fire. And, of course, his way to decompress is scuba diving! Grab your headphones and this enjoy this episode.
