(originally aired March 29, 2017) Guest: Julia Collins, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Zume Pizza Silicon Valley's latest pizza delivery service could put Domino's out of business with their secret ingredient: robots. At Zume Pizza, the owners have built what they call a “co-bot” environment where employees work alongside robots to streamline the pizza-making and delivery process. Once the human employees and robots have prepped the pizza, they load it in a delivery van that bakes the pizza on its way to the customer’s house. CNBC recently named Zume Pizza the most promising young start-up for 2017.

Guest: Daniel Connolly, Reporter, "The Commercial Appeal" newspaper in Memphis, Author of “The Book of Isaias: A Child of Hispanic Immigrants Seeks His Own America”  Nearly one in four kids in America has at least one immigrant parent. Among them, Hispanics make up the largest group. Many have parents who came to the US illegally or overstayed a visa. In some cases, the children, themselves, are without legal status in the US.  President Trump is still considering whether or not to end the Obama-era policy that gives work permits and protection from deportation to people who were brought to the country illegally as children.  But in focusing almost solely on the legal status of immigrants in America, reporter Daniel Connolly says we’ve left their children to flounder. And given their numbers, we need them to succeed. See the book here.
