Why the Seven Capitals? 

For Bob Riley Jr., co-host of the series, it’s about not wasting resources, examining the importance of effective and efficient resources through curiosity, recognizing the interdependence of each capital in creating a system, appreciating the wonders of modern technology and science, and continuing to push out of your comfort zone to ask “what if.”
