Where can you listen?
In 1271, Marco Polo set out from Venice to discover the world beyond the horizon.
750 years later, economist Jeffrey Sachs and global investor Patrick Zhong retrace that journey, driving 15,000 km across the modern Silk Road from Rome to Hong Kong.
Through conversations with historians, scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, and world leaders, The Marco Polo Drive explores the forces shaping our world today: civilization, heritage, technology, culture, and the future of human connection. This is not just a road trip. It is a journey across the ideas, systems, and stories that connect us.
