This week on the Disaster Tough Podcast, we’re joined by Andre Mackey, Chair of NATO’s Specific Environments Panel (SPED)—and all-around powerhouse in the world of crisis leadership.

Andre is an American based in Turkey, working directly with NATO to address the toughest environments on Earth—think urban warfare, cross-border coordination, and multi-agency response in unstable regions.

In this episode, we dive into:

• NATO’s response to current global flashpoints, including Ukraine and Gaza
• The role of SPED in preparing for and operating in extreme and urban environments
• Real-world insights on leadership during international emergencies
• The reality of coordinating across cultures, agencies, and borders

We also want to give a big shoutout to our friends on the Specific Environments Panel (SEP). You know who you are—and we’re grateful for the work you do.

Listen now—this episode brings global perspective from someone who's living it.
