Here at the TropicalMBA podcast we have been inspired and motivated by the stories of resilience and adaptation that you’ve been sending us.

One such story that we received recently resonated strongly with us, in part because it was about an industry that we have been working in for years.

William Griggs created Virtual Reality Rental just over four years ago.

He built a ten-person team that brought VR experiences to conferences, parties, and other corporate events across the United States.

Then COVID-19 struck and it all collapsed literally overnight, forcing him to reduce his staff by more than half.

William joins us today to share his strategy for waiting out the current uncertainty in the events industry, and how he's challenging his remaining team to grow into the new roles that are necessary for these times.
