Imagine your entire business turned upside down overnight. The COVID-19 pandemic hit the hospitality industry like a storm, throwing everything into chaos. Guests and staff suddenly faced unprecedented challenges, and businesses had to pivot, innovate, and find new ways to stay afloat. It was a time of fear, uncertainty, and intense pressure.

But here's the truth: while the pandemic was a one-of-a-kind event, it won’t be the last time any of us face massive disruptions. Every business, at some point, will encounter hurdles that demand resilience and creative solutions.

So, what do you do when your back's against the wall? How do you turn a crisis into an opportunity for growth?

Our guest today, Mike Scott, knows exactly how. As the Managing Director of Potters Resorts, Mike led his team through the storm with remarkable innovation and determination.
