Summary
Elizabeth Holmes
�Hey everyone!
It’s time to get creepy! It’s season 1, episode 3 of “What a Creep” starring Elizabeth Homes, the former CEO of the totally bullshit-worthy company Theranos. There is so much creepiness to go around here. Including her former COO and boyfriend Sunny Balwani as well as the plethora of older men who had no problem throwing millions at her and never seeing a prototype of the Edison or the MiniLab. (Geniuses!)
This week Margo is the presenter and here are her main sources:
Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou
The Inventor by Alex Gibney
Fortune and the New Yorker 2014 (glowing articles)
The Dropout podcast from ABC reporter Rebecca Jarvis
The Behind the Bastards podcast from host Robert Evans (no, not that one)
And then we will finish this ep with Sonia announcing our “Who’s NOT a creep” this week.
Have a listen!
