Episode 46 brings us to Memphis to meet Saji Madapat, whose geopolitical insights come from his own experiences learning Marx in Kerala, India’s communist classrooms, mastering capitalism in Fortune 10 boardrooms, and performing ancient Theyyam rituals while advising on AI strategy. His NEW Book “The Gods Must Be Crazy II” actually makes people laugh while explaining why empires rise and fall. This wide ranging discussion with social justice and spiritual overtones became the inspirations for Rick’s own musical journey back to Memphis via his unique performance of the Elvis Presley Classic “In The Ghetto”.
