They had no degrees, no funding, and no lab. Wilbur and Orville Wright ran a bicycle shop in Ohio, yet somehow they beat the best-funded scientists in the world to solve the problem of powered flight. How?
In this episode, we break down the Wright Brothers' story: the thousands of hours of self-taught experiments, the failures, the rivals who had every advantage, and the persistence that changed the world. It's one of the best examples in history of what ordinary people can accomplish through hard work and relentless problem-solving.
📖 Based on The Wright Brothers by David McCullough.
