    Where does Start-Up Nation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    The Israelis may have the sharpest culture in the world, which I did not know before I heard this book.


    If you could give Start-Up Nation a new subtitle, what would it be?

    A Country of Clever Resolution

    "The Real World"
    What made the experience of listening to Start-Up Nation the most enjoyable?

    The book was more like listening to a very interesting lecture than reading a book. The information nuggets were all worth keeping to use as tools.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Start-Up Nation?

    The story about the settlement that turned lemons into lemonade by taken salt water and turning into a talapia farm was one of the most interesting and memorable.


    What does Sean Pratt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    He brings the enthusiasm in his voice.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I was moved by the number of advancements made by such a small country with such a great amount of "chutzpah."
