On this week’s edition of Inside Influence, David Castagnetti and Brody Mullins talk with Victoria “Torie” Clarke — a powerhouse communications strategist with an impressive career spanning both the public and private sectors.  

Torie tells us about what she learned working inside the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 – and how those lessons apply to corporate strategy.

She also talks about the importance of building a clear strategy, making sure every team member understands their role, and maintaining transparency when delivering tough messages.

And she tells us how Sean Penn taught her that life is just a blip.
