the transformation of Amanda Seyfried from a romcom star, lovely sidekick to a brilliant actress is one for the ages, it like Mank has opened door for great roles for her
She's always been a brilliant actress. If you want dumb, she does dumb brilliantly. If you want frightening, she does frightening brilliantly. Amanda Seyfried almost always delivers.
I don't understand how you're doing this extremely complex chemical engineering with essentially a high-school degree. Lol, I hope somebody really said this to her.
@@user-on6uf6om7s I have a Bachelor's Degree and I'm working on my Master's Degree, and technically I have the right to put "doctor" in front of my name, but I often avoid using it because it's seen as pretentious where I live. It's all based on how the society around you react to your education. You passed high-school, that means you have a fairly decent education. That alone is commendable, as far as I'm concerned. But then again, it's different from place to place.

I get that this is about what it feels like, but I really hope your situation was not like this, in that you actually knew what you were doing instead of making stuff up.
I understand getting into finance or coding being self taught. But I don’t understand how you get into Scientific fields self taught, hell she wasn’t even properly prepared for any of this.
You need to have a dream. A vision. A goal. An ambition. An aspiration. A dream. You need to have a leader personality. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. You need to be authentic. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. You need to listen to your intuition. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. You need to believe in what you are doing. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. Personally, I have a radical new product that will change an uncompetitive, dinosaur industry. Would you like to invest in the future of medicine? Call me.
Sand Hill Road - where some of the major centure capital firms in Silicon Valley are headquartered. Been on it and driven by it many times. These guys are half interested in her company and just plain toying with her. I see it on their facial expressions. They'll throw millions of dollars at a couple dozen companies on the chance that one of them will become the next Google or Facebook. The gains from one company will far outstrip what they lose from the others. A lot of phony entrepreneurs know this and take rides on the VC carousel for 2-5 years, have some fun pretending to build technology companies, then disappear when the money dries up. When there's new money to be made, they'll come back and do it again. Elizabeth Holmes was not an aberration. She just got more press.
There's self-confidence and then there's self-delusion. It's ok to be ambitious, but another thing to fool yourself into thinking you know more than you do.
These People are OUT there though . I have met a couple . Most recently a Engineering School Dropout , 1 year mind you , who calls himself an Engineer . The whole Shop Laughs at him and they have Zero respect , because he is a Dope, but he talks fast. A natural born Salesman of BS . It is frightening that people can be so Delusional .
there are plenty of people like Holmes doing the same thing, pushing an invention that doesn't work and just biding their time with investors until it does. "Fake it till you make it" they call it.
"Yeah ya do!" That made me laugh. If anyone deserved that, it was Holmes. There really is a difference between IT and... well... everything else. That is why resumes and degrees are important in older industries. IT is one of VERY few industries were development can get so far ahead of schools that degrees aren't useful, but it is the exception not the rule. Healthcare, aeronautics, heavy manufacturing, energy, etc... have been major industries for over a century and you really do need to do the work to even speak the same language as people in the industry.
I dont know what she’s saying to the investor that makes her got all the money she needed. But she goes to the public way to fast than the final product. And there’s no backup plan. How on earth would u got billions of dollar invesment and no backup plan if this project failed? She must be one hell of a spokes person to able to convince all those whales.
One thing the show displays is how she figured out that her gift was in playing on old men with money. She appealed to their egos and the fact that they felt like they had to prove they could still compete in a young persons game. She really wasn’t even pretty. She just played on perception.
She goes to people with money but without domain expertise, and also with a healthy dose of the same sociopathy that she has. If you're a medical professional, you know things (medicine) and you also care about things (will this hurt people?). Holmes managed to find people who neither know nor care, but can invest anyway.

Seemed fine to me :/ Sometimes people are just really animated. Also we're taking about a character whom is infamous for putting on an act. I completely believe she would actually act like that.

Like Matthew McConaughey.
she hs always been great... this wasnt the first time lol
*What does Adrien Monk have to do with this?*
All those people who said " Its a pass for us " were the most Intelligent People of all , plus they had really good questions ..
Really BASIC questions actually
The one asking for the working prototype was the smartest in my opinion.
Obviously, these people are experts and aren’t fooled easily
That’s why she eventually went to investors that knew nothing about medicine or science. The people that did laughed her out of the room
except for the misogynist
I don't understand how you're doing this extremely complex chemical engineering with essentially a high-school degree. Lol, I hope somebody really said this to her.
Maybe not in such a direct way....she did stop going to VCs who are versed in the meds field because her lack of knowledge was showing.
I usually just say I have a high school diploma but now I'm going to tell people I have a high school degree, it sounds much more prestigious.

Her last name. Her parents are connected on a high political level. She has for example famous doctors in her family on her father's side.
The d-bag tech Bros asking the valid questions.
High school diploma, not degree...
Difference?
@@sergeayissi939 she actually attended St. John's School (Texas), it costs 32,000$ tuition pre year
She must have lots of fun stories to tell her fellow inmates.
I wonder who are the people from this clip? what companies do they represent?)
0:38 brrrr 😂😂😂😂
I’m not sure I could stomach this series if it’s going to be full of her doing some stupid Silicon Valley psych dance 😂

Man I didn’t even land a single meeting.

What is the bicicle guy drinking, and offering Elizabeth?
did Elizabeth purposely look disheveled?? or did she just have zero basic hygiene or standards?? lol
Theranos... should have gotten these answers in real life! :D
2nd episode
At 1:11 that guy really wanted to slide his "cartridge" into Elizabeth Holmes "machine"
that bit was rather hacky, even in the 2000s it stretches credulity to think you would get away with saying that.
@@2011hwalker Maybe you could in Hollywood.
Is she okay? She’s not supposed to be dancing while driving, that’s unsafe or screaming.

Smart
Her facial expression in the car looks like she's constipated.

They should have depicted the corruption more
