The fascinating story of the rise and fall of the it girl Elizabeth Holmes and her company Theranos.

from On With The Novaks · host Tod & Joyce Novak

The Novaks recap the HBO Documentary, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley. This documentary tracks Holmes' story, specifically how she falsely convinced people that her blood-testing device could test for hundreds of diseases with a single drop of blood. The doc features interviews with Holmes before she was busted for medical fraud, and people are fascinated with her mannerisms—including what seems to be a freakish ability to not blink. Do you sometimes have a hard time apologizing? Understanding what someone needs from your apology can make it much more effective. Learning The 5 Languages of Apology will definitely help! T&J recommend reading The 5 Languages of Apology by Dr. Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas. Who doesn't love fresh flowers?! The Novaks buy fresh flowers weekly for their home, and share one of their favorite stores to purchase them.
