She Traveled Alone, and Then Changed Everything — The Life of Amelia Ear...

How did a boy labeled unteachable become the man who electrified the world? This episode reveals the real story of Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, the father of industrial innovation, and one of history’s greatest system builders. 

Born premature in Milan, Ohio, Edison grew up nearly deaf, dismantling toys to study motion, printing newspapers from a moving train, and learning the telegraph after saving a child from a train track — the moment that sparked his obsession with electricity and signal communication.

By 26, he steps into New York City and patents the Universal Stock Printer, earning early independence and founding Menlo Park, the world’s first industrial R&D invention lab, nicknamed the Invention Factory — a place that pioneered team-driven innovation before modern tech companies existed.
