The EPA says it's taking action on harmful chemicals known as "PFAS," which are found in everyday objects. Germany's economy didn't grow last year, and that's good news. Plus, we hear from Efosa Ojomo, author of "The Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty," about taking a Silicon Valley-style approach to development.

Today's show is sponsored by KronosPitney Bowes and Indeed.
