[Podcast] The Rise and Fall of Elizabeth Holmes
She was supposed to be the next Steve Jobs. She even convinced major players like Rupert Murdoch that she would be. She raised $1 billion in capital investments to revolutionize health care.
And it was all a lie.
The story of Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos is almost Shakespearean: a smart youth, a sharp rise to success, a lie revealed, and a quick, vicious fall from grace. It makes for a shocking tale, and a great podcast.
The Dropout, a new podcast hosted by ABC News and Nightline correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, tells the story of Holmes from her beginnings as a well-to-do youth in D.C. to the jail time hanging over her head. It does so through interviews with former Theranos employees, news clips, recordings from the investigation, and more.
This isn’t a business podcast. This is an investigation into a twisted mind.
Have a listen and let us know what you think.
