Summary

Why do we ignore red flags? Prompted by Liz's recent read of the book Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou, she and Sarah discuss how and why people dismiss red flags in their professional and personal lives.

Finally, Liz reveals a parent-friendly Hollywood Hack she recently discovered: work while your kid is falling asleep.
