What would you do if 92% of your business disappeared overnight?
In this episode of The Mike Method, Mike sits down with Jeff Duncan, CEO of Ingenuity Live and Meeting Max, to explore what it really takes to turn crisis into opportunity.

This is a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and how to build something new when everything falls apart.
