The Rise and Fall of Elizabeth Holmes PART ONE

But first, shall we get into it? Okay, so this story is going to start in 1984.

This is the year that Elizabeth Holmes was born.

But importantly, it's also a new era for the world because it's the dawn of the tech startup, funnily enough.

So just a month, I was so shocked by this.

A month before Elizabeth was born, Apple released the first Mac computer.

And interestingly, they announced that this was happening during the Super Bowl of all places.

Of course.

Of course.

And it was this iconic ad directed by none other than Ridley Scott himself.

And to paint a picture, this ad imagined George Orwell's dystopian 1984.

You know the book 1984.

And it promised that with the launch of the Macintosh, you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984.

So it's like...

And what this means is that the world was really ushering in this new age of rapid, like, life-altering technological innovation, and Elizabeth was growing up right in the middle of it.

By all accounts, when she was growing up, she really embodied this Silicon Valley entrepreneurial spirit from a young age.

So when she was just nine years old, she wrote a letter to her father, and we have a clip of her reading it.

Dear Daddy, what I want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn't know was possible.

I also want to study about man and his ways.

Life is really interesting.

I love being with you.

It's my most favorite thing in the whole world.

Love, Elizabeth.

Yes.

And not only this, this is not the only example of Elizabeth saying these kinds of things.

When a relative asked her what she wanted to do when she grew up, she apparently told them she wanted to be a billionaire.
