SHOW NOTES (ARRIVE VERSION) Episode Title: The Operational Inspection: Protecting Your Asset Valuation (Episode 97) Episode Description: "Because you allowed your Store Manager to ignore the exterior visual condition of the facility, the daily consumers are actively choosing to spend their money at your competitor's cleaner location across the street."
