On the Road with Rise of the Rest
Setup
Entrepreneur Steve Case and "Hillbilly Elegy" author-turned-venture-capitalist J. D.

What are they learning about the US innovation economy? Joining them in discussion is Katie Couric, who herself has been crisscrossing America to find out what makes us tick.
