We all hate being told what to do. It's a tale as old as time. So in this episode of Thick & Thin, I try to discover why. Why is it human nature to crave what we can't have? Is it for thrills? For power? For knowledge? Or perhaps, all of the above.

Everything can be misunderstood –– even sea anemones. In this episode of Thick & Thin, we see how a change in perspective can lead to newfound truths and discoveries; and how maybe not everything we learned from our history textbooks is true.

This week, let's add a chapter to our history books because this episode of Thick & Thin is dedicated to Elizebeth Smith Friedman –– America's first female cryptanalyst. As a literal codebreaker, she busted drug smugglers and helped derail Nazi spies but never got the recognition she deserved.
