    FBI Profiler: "Yes, Elizabeth Holmes IS a Sociopath" — 7 Signs That FOOL EVERYONE (She Did Them ALL)

    We all watched in shock as Elizabeth Holmes, once hailed as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, rose to the top with Theranos, promising to revolutionize medicine through a single drop of blood. But when it all came crashing down, she left a trail of shattered dreams, empty bank accounts, and broken trust behind her. In this episode, I sit down with legendary former FBI special agent Jana Monroe, the real-life inspiration for Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs. For more than two decades, Jana profiled serial killers, liars, and white-collar criminals. If anyone knows what evil really looks like, it’s her. With a new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes dropping soon, Jana Monroe digs into the secrets behind what really goes on in the mind of a woman who fooled some of the savviest investors on the planet. If you want to understand the truth about manipulation, charisma, and how women like Elizabeth rewrite the rules of deception, homie, you can’t miss this.
