Show notes :
Correction – Om said Richard Parsons was with the ex CEO of Chase. He was actually the former chairman of Citigroup and former CEO or AOL Time Warner. 

Correction – Om mistakenly said Quincy Jones is a fan of his. Om meant he was a Huge fan of Quincy Jones. He is an American record producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.

Correction – Ali talked about the American Bison being slaughtered to starve the Native Indians. This  statements was somewhat off. Here’s an article clarifying: https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/196662/were-bison-slaughtered-to-starve-american-indians-whether-it-was/
