The first category is showing personal capability, and the paper describes multiple ways of doing this: you can look the part of the entrepreneur; you can conspicuously show connections to top schools; or you can show that you are personally "all in." Elizabeth did all three. 3/

Based on the podcast of the same name, #TheDropout tracks the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and her biomedical company, Theranos. latimes.com/entertainment-…
At Theranos’ zenith, Holmes became known for her personal style, which seemed poised for mythmaking.
