Now, what design those things might create you could say it was the time that she spent in the laboratories as an undergraduate studying in China and the work that she did there that became formative. This was a woman who was clearly on a mission who wanted to do big things, with her life. Rebecca Jarvis: Well when I look at all of the available information that I've learned about Elizabeth Holmes over the years. She went to Stanford for a time and then eventually her family put what was supposed to be her tuition money toward Theranos, in the early days and I'm wondering like, do you think that Theranos was going to come about no matter what because Elizabeth was who she was or whether Theranos was like a product of that privilege, like of Stanford and of her family's ability to support her? Olivia Zitkus: Her time at Stanford in particular and the way it's portrayed in the show it wasn't just a blip on her radar.

Something that I think that the series really delves into that Liz Meriwether and the team spent a lot of time investigating and using the podcasts as sourced material, but speaking to sources and thinking more deeply and digging even further into it is what those early years, what those formative years meant for her in creating who she was as a leader and the person that we all got to know on stages and TED Talks and then later on through SEC depositions in the trial. I think as every parent you want your child to believe that they can change the world, that they could make the world a better place. Why she was doing the things that she is doing, why she was such a motivated person, why she believed that she could change the world? I think that's something that every parent, I'm a parent and became a parent through the process at the time that I was creating this podcast a few days later gave birth to my first child. Rebecca Jarvis: Well, that's a question as a journalist that I asked a lot of the people in her orbit, the people who family, friends who knew her early on, trying to understand what they believed was part of her psychology. Like how do you think her relationship with her family and her upbringing influenced how she interacted with, viewed, and used money? Because she went right from being a teen to being a CEO? Olivia Zitkus: I'm curious about her early life and her relationship with money. Or as I felt, that this is something that can have implications for the much broader world. I think those three things together were something that certainly drew me to this story and something that I think make a lot of people give a pause and a beat and want to understand more because they recognize.

It was certainly inside of many Walgreens stores and was poised to be in many places and anyone can imagine the idea of walking into a store to get a blood test, and if that blood test isn't reliable, then wow, what are we supposed to rely on? Where does the trust come from in our medicine in our care. I think there's also the fact that this is a technology that could have become more ubiquitous.

You also have the whole ecosystem surrounding her story from Silicon Valley to the media, to the world that she really grew up inside of, at a time when she went out to raise funding around the same time as Mark Zuckerberg when suddenly venture capital and other investors were for the first time in really large numbers starting to bet millions or even billions of dollars on these young founders without significant track records. Rebecca Jarvis: I think you have the woman at the heart of the story, Elizabeth Holmes, who is a fascinating individual. Why is this story that we keep coming back to? You have John Carreyrou's, Bad Blood book and podcast, The Dropout podcast of your creation, and now the Hulu show The Dropout. Olivia Zitkus: There are so many stories and tellings about Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos saga. Motley Fool editor Olivia Zitkus caught up with Rebecca Jarvis, they talked about the environment in Silicon Valley that elevated Holmes and how she got away with fraud for so long. That podcast is the basis for the new Hulu mini-series, also called The Dropout, which starts on March 3rd. Whereas when the SEC confronts her with direct questions her answer is so frequently, I don't know or I don't recall.Ĭhris Hill: I'm Chris Hill and that was Rebecca Jarvis, Chief Business correspondent at ABC News and host of the hit podcast, The Dropout, which followed the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.

There's certainty we will be in Walgreens around the world, these giant claims. Rebecca Jarvis: You have these SEC depositions versus Elizabeth Holmes on stage where Elizabeth Holmes on stage knows every answer.
