Episode notes
Returning To The Tokyo Hotel From 2020
- Lee Rosen recounts staying in the same Tokyo hotel during the start of COVID-19 and feeling cocooned and safe in Japan.
- He contrasts the quiet order and rules then with the same comforting feeling on a return visit years later.

- The observer effect makes direct walkthroughs unreliable because staff change behavior when watched.
- Testing must simulate real conditions to reveal the true execution gaps in your systems.
Stress-Test Processes With Mystery Shoppers
