Drew Train, CEO of OBERLAND, joins Patricia McLoughlin to talk about how brands can decide when and how to speak up in an election year. Drawing on OBERLAND's new Speak or Surrender Roadmap, they discuss why the fear of retaliation is often larger than the real risk, what people actually want from brands during elections, and how to choose an issue grounded in credibility, community, and values. Drew also shares brands that do this well in their own voice, why humor can help with serious topics, and why silence is a position with real consequences.
