Marissa Streit is the CEO of PragerU, a conservative media organisation and education platform. Marissa shares her experiences growing up in Israel, serving in the military, and returning to the United States to pursue a career in education. Zuby and Marissa dig into concerns about the American education system and how historical context shapes learning. The conversation explores the myth of a perfectly rational society, the importance of ethical agreements, and the role education plays in cultivating values.
