I can't imagine being in her shoes. Kind of sorry for her, she was supposed to be an inspiration for women everywhere.
On the other hand, she is an excellent example of how not to be disconnected from reality for founders.
- WalterSear 11y agoThat statement borders on the obscene. Just because someone gets anointed by family connections to money and PR, that doesn't make them an 'inspiration', regardless of gender.
- desireco42 11y agoIt is not that I studied her, it seemed like young, well educated, successful women, that is all.

- desireco42 11y agoSure, and I was just expressing that. Like I said, I didn't study her, I might have seen article here and there.
- kzhahou 11y agoObscene to feel for someone who fucked up their career so bad? It's just common empathy.
- WalterSear 11y agoObscene to think that she should be an inspiration for anybody.
- kzhahou 11y agoC'mon, the point is a lot of people were inspired by a young woman forming a powerhouse medical company. Now we've found out it was all smoke and mirrors for years, and everyone who looked up to her was let down.
