Welcome to the wild wild west of snake oil salesmen, except it was actually during the Industrial Revolution. Today Olivia kicks us off by talking about the not-inventor of the light bulb himself - Thomas Edison, the OG terrible billionaire (Bezos...). Think you know everything about the Edison/Tesla debacle? Guess again! Turns out, Thomas Edison is just a human being like the rest of us, except he's terrible.
