"for each technological hurdle deemed insurmountable by the experts I
would spend just a few hours thinking about the problem from a variety of
approaches so I was able to solve problems when the PhD experts couldn't
with just a few hours of really simple research every single argument over why
the technology couldn't work has been indisputably wrong has taught me to be
skeptical of experts the expertise represented a narrow way of looking at things
engineers are inherently linear thinkers and tend to take a very binary approach
to solving problems as a non expert I had an advantage because I could look at
a problem from different angles because I just didn't know it was possible by
thinking outside the box by thinking around corners you can out think the top
thinkers and now eight months later I have four of the top ultrasonic
engineers in the world working for me we're working with me
it's going to work and it's going to be awesome and I can't wait to give the
middle finger and smiled all the engineers that criticize the crap out of me"
Spoilers: She is a fraud, it never worked, one of the ultrasonic engineers she boasted about hiring even ran a blog debunking her claims https://liesandstartuppr.blogspot.com https://liesandstartuppr.blogspot.com. >$20 million from Andreessen Horowitz/Mark Cuban/Marissa Mayer down the crapper. At least it didnt manage to IPO.
