Every episode, you'll meet a stranger who changed your life — you just never knew their name. By the end, you'll be amazed by what they made possible. Twist: they're all from one country the size of New Jersey. The one the world can't stop arguing about. Israel.  So stop arguing for one second. Just look at what they built.

Wildfires stopped before the trucks leave the garage. Cancer caught in five minutes, from your couch. A seizure predicted hours before you feel it coming.

All Israeli. All overlooked.  Elon Musk called Israel #1 in the world for innovation per capita. So why doesn't anyone know these names?  Host Jennifer Weissmann is here to fix that.
