What if your worst day was someone else’s dream come true?
In this powerful episode of The Mike Method, Mike Desjardins sits down with Spencer Lodge—a globally recognized sales leader, award-winning podcast host of Unscripted with Spencer Lodge, and founder of Make It Happen University—who shares the deeply personal journey that changed the way he defines success.
From building multi-million dollar businesses to helping rescue children from human trafficking, Spencer opens up about the shift from chasing status to living with purpose. You’ll hear how a conversation with a 14-year-old survivor changed everything, and how a chance meeting with a humanitarian sparked a new mission that now includes producing a documentary on human trafficking for Amazon Prime.
