Episode 397: Dog Days of Summer

“Dog Days of Summer,” is a saying that refers to those hot summer days when it is sweltering outside. This phrase was created by the ancient Greeks and Romans from the heliacal rising of the Dog-Star, Sirius.

During one of those “Dog Days”, Willis Carrier came across an idea which in turn, lead to his creation of the air conditioner. The appreciation  for his work is an understatement. In today’s episode, Phil challenges us to seek ideas when we are faced with problems and we too may change the world.
