It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true— and it comes from Nicole's reflections on Israel's resilience and wondering: what does the path to rebuilding look like?

Their conversation spans the startup landscape in Israel, the question of aid from the United States, how a country in an unstable region could rank so highly on happiness and yes, Nicole's realization that she wants to have kids.
