Scaling Across Borders - Kosovo | Episode 1

When I first landed in Kosovo, I thought I was heading somewhere near Scandinavia. I didn’t know what to expect — and what I found changed everything. Episode 1 opens the season in Europe’s youngest nation, a country still writing its own story. From the post-war streets of Prishtina to the mountain cafés and tech hubs reshaping its future, this episode uncovers how Kosovo is redefining what progress looks like on the edge of Europe. I meet the people driving that change: Damien Costa, a former U.S. Navy SEAL who returned to invest, not to fight . Jeta Xharra, a fearless journalist preserving Kosovo’s truth and resilience through her Museum of Resistance . Dale Pfeiffer, one of the first Americans to help rebuild the country and launch its U.S.-funded education programs . Through their eyes, we see a nation powered by youth, creativity, and momentum. Once defined by conflict, Kosovo today is defined by creation — a free-market energy that’s rebuilding its future from the ground up. Kosovo’s story isn’t survival; it’s ambition. On these streets, you don’t feel history’s weight — you feel forward motion.
