"I was so excited. It's hard to put into words like that dreamlike state that you're in when you finally made it," Elizabeth Holmes says of her first day at Theranos. "At the early days of Theranos, I really anticipated that this was a company in a project that I could easily see myself spending the next decade working on," she adds. 'It was I had so much enthusiasm and so much excitement'
Hi Slight Changers — this past Friday, Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of the fraudulent biotech company Theranos was sentenced to 11.25 years in a Federal prison. I wanted to reshare my interview with Erika Cheung today. She had the courage to stand up for what was right and blow the whistle, even when her personal safety was at risk. Erika was instrumental in bringing Holmes to justice.
