What happens when ambition meets secrecy? When a visionary becomes a villain?
Let’s unpack the chilling rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, whose dream of revolutionizing healthcare with a single drop of blood became one of the most infamous cases of fraud in Silicon Valley history.
From her carefully curated image to the toxic culture of secrecy inside Theranos, we examine how Holmes' vision captivated investors and the media—and ultimately crumbled under the weight of deception. But this story is about more than just fraud. We go deeper into the psychology of ambition, the dangerous pursuit of perfection, and the gender dynamics that shaped Holmes’ dramatic downfall.
🔍 Was she punished for the crime—or for playing the game like a man?
✨ Join me as I explore not just what happened, but why it happened.
