David Giersdorf joins us at CSI Chat to talk about his experience in the cruise industry and his fantastic book, "Hardships: Navigating your company, career, and life through the fog of disruption".

David has spent nearly his entire professional life involved with the travel and cruise industry. When COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic in March 2020, the cruise industry was hit extremely hard. How did the cruise companies deal with this disruption? How were they able to navigate when a huge portion of their costs are fixed? David was called upon by several cruise companies to assist during this difficult time.

David provides his strategies and insights on how to deal with disruption which are applicable to all industries.
