In this episode, Cassidy tells a story about the "inventor" of Wi-Fi. Hedy Lamarr was not what you would picture as the studious inventor that she was...instead a beautiful actress who almost left her dream of inventing all behind. After years of acting, she would eventually co-invent an early version of frequency-hopping spectrum communication, which was originally intended to help the military. Fun fact: She lived closer to us Floridians than you'd expect later in life! Listen in to hear the full story of an inventor at heart, and actress in the public eye.
