🎧 Ziva: Exploring Truth—One Question at a Time
Description: We know the names—Edison, Tesla, the Wright Brothers. But what if the stories behind their “genius” are only part of the truth?
In this premiere episode of Who Is Picking Up Your Tab?, host Pam Matambanadzo rewinds history to explore the myths, rivalries, and forgotten collaborators behind some of the most iconic inventions of all time. From Menlo Park to Kitty Hawk, we uncover the team efforts, the quiet champions, and the overlooked supporters who made these breakthroughs possible—but were rarely celebrated.
This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a challenge to widen the lens on how we define innovation, success, and legacy.
✨ In This Episode:
- The real story behind Edison’s light bulb empire
- Tesla’s electric dreams—and the war that tried to stop them
- Why the Wright Brothers flew while others crashed
- The role of risk, rivalry, and invisible labor in shaping the world
🔍 Key Takeaway:
Behind every great idea is a team. Behind every spotlight, a support system. Greatness isn’t solo—it’s shared.
