Why The Logistics Plan of the Tokyo Olympics Took 10 Years To Complete

The ethos of competition is better, faster, stronger. 

We see it in every aspect of business, life, and of course, sports.  More specifically The Olympic Games.

And in 2020, where we saw what the world looked like without sports, we saw what a society looks like without rooting for a common goal. 

With all that said, it was interesting to dive into the logistics of the Tokyo Olympics and how that has evolved--and continues to evolve even days before the opening ceremonies. This story does pair well with the show notes so be sure to check those out for any visuals I’m referring to.
