4) Why people should take a vacation, even now, and in the future

7) How great story ideas arise out of the zeitgeist and are best told by actual people
Mark also addresses a listener question from Chris Lauber, F&B Director, The James New York - SoHo in New York City, on the kinds of COVID-19 driven changes that are likely to remain in place post-pandemic.
