Can we talk about the underrated side of saving from my winter notes

The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I tried this in Mexico City with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan

I am mostly here for the follow-up. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result. Good managers make this conversation so much less weird
