Calling the guy on my way from the airport:
— Let’s grab a coffee. I’ll pick you up in the lobby.
— What, we’re not meeting at the hotel?
— Nope. We’re heading downtown, get ready.
He does not argue, un caffè e un cornetto in the sun is a far better way of having a meeting than dark hotel corners.
I like doing business differently these days.
More espresso. Less drama. Better light.
