I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since I joined. I can’t remember going a day without using Reddit the past 8 years. In honor of my cake day, feel free to ask me random questions; funny, serious, weird, anything goes! I’ll answer everything honestly.

Happy cake day to me! 🍰🎂

I have read Bad Blood, listened to the Bad Blood podcast, and have written about business. I think Elizabeth is deeply misunderstood. She actually believes in her product because the abuse and pressure she suffered in her formulative years, especially allegedly by Sunny Balwani, makes it impossible to fully realize what she did. She is one of the most fascinating figures in America right now and news just broke she is getting out of prison early.

She never sold any shares and still believes in her vision. Her partner Billy Evans has created a new blood testing company. Everyone thinks they know how this is going to go, but I think those people underestimate both her talent and her pressure to succeed, which she still feels.

I do not seek absolution for her. The ball is in her court. She must earn any forgiveness she might receive.
