I remember a few experts in the field talking about how they immediately assumed it was a scam, but justifiably so. Theranos was promising to do more tests, with less blood, faster, and with a small countertop appliance sized device. They were willing to believe or at least consider a break-through to allow a device to achieve one or two of those promises, but four immediately set off scam alarms in their heads. And a lot of people are like, oh well, rich people and investors got screwed, not a big deal. But the promise of Theranos sucked funding away from every other competitor in the field trying to make better blood tests, slowing down progress for everyone including patients that could benefit from better tests.

... Until they get used to it. What people don't think about is... Their voice is their signature. Like it or not, their voice is what identifies them. Some of the greatest actors had voices that weren't all that great. Marlon Brando, Steve Buscemi, Joe Pesci, etc... But they used the uniqueness of their voice to carve a niche for themselves. Love who you are and make the most of it. Change what you can change (if you want to) and accept that which you can't change. :)

I want to say that it was a scam from the start. When you want to develop any technology and make sure it works well, not only do you hire experts, you also have to convince the experts first. She didn't do that. She went straight to the big names with the big wallets. And considering the way she behaved in the company, there was something off from the start. I'm biased, admittedly, because this is my area of work, and I've got a chip on my shoulder, but I still think she knew.

Exactly this. All the rationalizing in the world can’t change the fact that she set up a scam. One could say she may have briefly thought at some point that she could patch something together at some point, but she knew what she was doing. @Joe Scott, we can try to stretch definitions to fit many things, but nothing you do is a scam, hon

I actually found this more interesting than the main video itself. Hearing Joe's personal thoughts on the subject is more intellectually stimulating than simply listening to the story alone.

I would alter the question a bit to ask, WHEN did she realize it wasn’t possible. Even if she naively believed it at the beginning, at some point she had to wake up.

I'm fairly certain that industry experts with degrees and actual qualifications had told her from the beginning that what she was trying to do was literally impossible, that there simply isn't enough blood in a drop to run some of the tests they were claiming. But no, this college dropout insisted that she knew better than the experts.

She realized right in the beginning when a professor told her it could not be done. And then another one and another one. There was no question from the start.

I really like this format for the TMI channel, it's like 2 friends sitting down and bullshitting together. It allows you to personalize the story and say things you couldn't or wouldn't want to on a more public venue. I agree with your assessment, I think she was a true believer that hung on to her beliefs too long.

I do really like these "thoughts about" videos. They help me remember what the previous video was about, instead of it just passing through the ears like every other video I watch. Plus, it's like listening to the director's commentary of a movie which is usually a good insight to the mind of a creator.

I don't know if you will see this but there is nothing wrong with your voice... I feel like it suits you well and I find it somewhat calming. If you want help avoiding overdoing it I get it but otherwise it seems like one of those insecurities that we all have about ourselves that others are surprised about when you open up about it.

All I gotta say about your voice insecurities is that you have become one of my favorite KZreadrs to listen to speak, let alone watch. It’s incredibly easy to sit back and be relaxed as you tell me about things I didn’t know about and it’s often my favorite part of the morning.

I've done a ton of debunking videos on tech ideas like this, and many are True Believers. But some are credible engineers who know their idea is impractical and they are just looking to flip the company to a bigger investor. I think some of the blame has to go to the engineers hired, as they are just content to take home to big startup pay cheque until the wheels fall of the billy cart. Look up Meredith Perry's talk some time to get an insight into the wild thinking of a startup tech entrepreneur, it's, wow.

I like these TMI videos because we get to hear your thoughts on why you make your videos and that part is really interesting, thanks for making these!

This was really useful. When you cover a story I'm already quite familiar with, I find it interesting to know why you chose to focus on some points while others are left out. The haunting thing about Theranos was the extent to which Holmes went to keep the secret: hiring private security to threaten and harass staff who tried to leak information, or sounded like they were unhappy with the disconnect between the reality of the product and the image of it given to the public. I don't feel sorry for the investors. They failed to do their due diligence. Apparently her family's neighbor gave the initial X million dollar investment - essentially as a favor. He was sufficiently well known that other investors just jumped on board, with each assuming the others had looked into the potential feasibility of the technology. But nobody did!

I really like your voice! It's the reason I subscribed. Soothing and fun and honorable. Especially when you say "love you guys, take care! " feels snuggly when I hear it from you! Love ❤️ all you do! (And say!)

I've really enjoyed your skits lately! Been playing around on the blue side, and it looks like you're having fun :D It really does add a great opening to the videos

I watch your videos for my whole day at work. I think your voice is soothing and great voice for your content. Keep up the good work Joe.

I like these a lot! Keep doing them, they are a really cool insite into how you think through the videos you make.

The word "scam" is sometimes used inappropriately, but here it's totally justified. I'm enjoying these Extra Thoughts videos! P.S. your voice is absolutely fine.

I can’t believe I haven’t watched that video yet. It’s a great subject I’ve binged on in the past and you make good videos. It’s go time.

I think posting your additional thoughts on this channel is a great idea. I love videos like this where you can add tidbits that wouldn't make the final cut of your normal channel due to time or tangent et cetera. I always enjoy your videos, even the experimental stuff.

Keep the vids coming mate! I like that you have your own "reacts to" type video for your own scripts, adds some personal perspective to perceivable(imo) unbiased main channel vids :)

It's always interesting to hear about your motivations and creative process for a video. 👍

Love the TMI videos. Great to have an extra bit of chat about the subject in greater detail.

Hey Joe, love this kind of follow up video. Please keep up the great work and just so you know, your voice sounds fine 👍

I little levity is important to keep one's sanity in check, so is getting one's thoughts out rather than keep them rattling around in the mind. I've learned this from experience, having suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for nearly 40 years (starting when I was a teen and couldn't get to sleep at night because my mind and panic attacks were pretty much nonstop). Also, if you need to take a break sometimes then go ahead, we don't need you getting burned out. I like the sound of your voice, judging by the way I've watched so many of your videos over the past several years. I would definitely join your Patreon if I could afford it, but I rarely have enough money to last through the month. Love your channels and much respect for you. ✌

It's nice to see your reflection on the main channel's content, and address all things in a casual way. Nice.

Just when i thought i had watched all your vids, i find out theres a whole other channel. thanks for the awesome videos Joe :)

FYI, I love your videos and your voice helps a lot as it matches the tone of your videos a lot.

I really love these "dvd commentary"-style vids about the vids! Please continue!

I like these. I play you in the kitchen while I clean and it's nice to listen to and not feel like I need to be looking at the screen for fear of missing something. 👍

I like these! Keep them up! Also, your voice is all good. I hadn’t even thought about it before you mentioned it, and I still haven’t changed my opinion. Its what makes you Joe!

Hey Joe. Two things. I am a professor, and I often have to fill a lecture hall with my voice. At the beginning of Fall semesters (just two days ago actually) my throat always 'gets tired' or hurts a bit after doing so. Especially so if I have two back to back classes, so I have to do it for two+ hours. As the semester goes on, my throat gets used to it and it does not hurt any more. This is a common thing, that many faculty experience. So, I don't think you have to worry if this happens to you. Secondly, I have been a fan of yours for many years, and I have always thought your voice matches your 'every man' appearance very well. Most people think their voice sounds funny when they hear a recording of themselves. So unless you somehow are getting complaints that are limiting you professionally, again don't worry about it.

I love the follow ups Joe! And I love your content! Keep it up man!

Hi Joe I like your insights and thoughts behind your videos. This helps to to know where your head is at. This makes me feel like I am learning what it is like to be behind the curtain. (in a Wizard of Oz point of view). On a personal note I hope you survived all the rain OK. We use to live in Lakewood and it looked like the White Rock Lake area really got hit hard.

Oh. My. God! Kermit on a hangover! I can hear it so clearly now that you said it that I can't believe I missed it! :P Please keep doing these follow ups, this was a treat!

In reference to the KZread shorts if you were talking about that how to make an SLS video, I absolutely loved it. Though I must confess I am a huge fallout video game fan. So although it wasn’t exactly like fallout educational video, it was close enough that I got a good laugh and I liked it. Keep up the good work.

Ah man, now I'm only going to hear hang-over Kermit all the time now. :D I find your voice soothing. Keep up the great videos!

Funny, your voice and manner of speaking is why we subscribe to your channel. It’s part of your personality that we enjoy.

This is like an MTV "Behind the Music" episode. What was Joe thinking when he made this episode? How does he feel about the subject? I would like this format a lot. Maybe add some of the stuff that did bit fit into the main episode. It's a great idea overall

Appreciate the additional thoughts you’ve had (and enjoy your wry voice). I lived in the Bay Area while this was happening and it was just one of many companies trying to be the next big thing. Yeah, people should’ve asked her to ‘splain more details, but they didn’t do that for a lot of companies (like Webvan groceries)

Thank you for the TMI videos Joe. Also your voice is just fine, don't change a thing.

A brilliant couple of videos on a fascinating subject. One thing that's worth adding: field cross-over ignorance. Being an expert in one field doesn't make you an expert in another; I worked in professional analytical science for a decade but that didn't make me a physicist in spite of using some very high tech analytical machines. She may well have had the idea, then had the belief that money could solve everything... and very very soon someone who actually knew what they were talking about would have told them it wasn't possible (I'd have liked to know the rate of high-level scientist job turnover and the ndas they signed whilst the company was operating). Everything for me points to her seeing the vision without the reality from a very early stage.

I like these informal follow-ups. They are interesting to see your thoughts behind the show.

loving this Joe! keep it up!!! p.s. I find your voice soothing 😉

I really like your comments here on TMI. I find it particularly good when you do a bit of a "behind the scenes" on a video you posted on your main channel. (like the Theranos video)

I like this forum. I like you giving your natural opinion on the subject. I watch your main vods to learn about the topic, I watch your TMI channel to see how you really feel about it unfiltered.

Really like the follow up videos here! There are a lot of thoughts that don't make it into the final main video, I'm curious to hear them!

I like the behind the scenes. It is nice to hear about the things you wish you could have talked about, how hard it might have been to research the topic, issues you had, weird theories you found that weren't right to be a part of the actual video. Just sharing whatever we didn't get to see is a nice little extra. And it doesn't hurt, right? You get some more views and can more directly communicate with the audience. Also, I think corridor crew has more viewer throughput than their main channel (main channel has more subscribers, but far fewer videos). So, there is a desire for this stuff.

I definitely enjoyed the follow up video. All it needs is a Unsolved Mysteries style “UPDATE” at the start.

i like the way you treat formal research on the main channel and your opinion on this one. looks good to me.

I like these candid editorials

It really is a great video. I already knew the story but this gave me a fresh and more detailed perspective.

behind the scenes thoughts and comments is definitely a great idea

Also - thx for the bonus content. It's a great way to use this channel.

These videos are great. I really enjoy the fact that they are very free flowing and feel unscripted.

I enjoy these videos! I actually listen while I am working out... workin' my brain and body! It helps distract from the burn 🤣

I enjoyTMI. You need to release your concern about what people say. Some are kind, some are critical, others always have to demonstrate how much smarter they are. You are the man who is putting yourself out there. You develop a concept, question and research then executed each video . 👍thumbs up 👍

Hey Joe, i really enjoy your content, keep doing what you are doing

Love your channel, I binge watch while working. I had a little voice training for public speaking and am in no way an expert. My problem was that I was speaking from my throat rather than my diaphram. Using your throat makes your voice higher and it tires much much faster. Simple way to test is to put your hand just above your belly button and see if you can feel the vibration from your voice there.

Do keep making these TMI -- I like the unstructured approach that allows you to give your thoughts and give more information that didn't make it into the main video. And your voice is very pleasant and relaxing -- if it were as bad as you think it is, would so many people keep coming back to listen to you?

A video of your honest thoughts about a recent subject? YES PLEASE..

I like these personal opinion type bits on stories on the main channel. They provide balance on what you actually think and some extra detail on things that can't quite be proven. Like your belief that she originally thought it could be done (And to be fair, given the money and resources, it may be able to be done) but that it got to a point where she realised that it couldn't but kept following the story line, and at that point is where is became a scam. Please do more, even, maybe revisiting and applying the same to some older videos? Or even, revisiting some older videos and doing an update on them?

I like these little videos, keep it up Joe

Quite enjoyed this. I think the extra information helps flesh out the story. Totally agree with you about the way the word "scam" has been weaponized (my words, not yours).

I do really enjoy these new vids ur trying Joe. I do also watch the TMI vids & of corse the main channel. I was 1 of the original 5000 subs u got so I've been watching u for awhile now... I feel like ur reading too many of the comments, or at least letting the ppl whom only comment ignorant shit get to ya a bit much. Theres alot of ppl who r just worthless trolls & hate their own lives so they go on social media to just be hateful towards others. Don't even give them the satisfaction of it bothering ya Joe! Ur a good guy & make entertaining contant. Don't let the ppl who r too lazy, fat, ignorant, & ect to fix their own lives dictate what u do. U actually DO things to at least try & better urself in every aspect of ur work & life. U don't owe these ppl anything. They wont even do anything to help themselves.

I liked this. It was your personal thoughts vs the video which was more balanced information. You did add to the original video.

“It’s the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work. And if you just tell all these other people ‘here’s this great idea,’ then of course they can go off and make it happen. And the problem with that is that there’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product.” - Steve Jobs

I'm always curious what are your thoughts about topics that is in video, so thank you for that :) btw I love your voice :)

"Yeast money" .... that'll be in my head for the short foreseeable future.

I agree that she probably initially assumed that "fake it till you make it" would also be a success for Theranos, like it has been to a few other startups (when we ignore the many failures). But then it became too hard to make it, and there was only faking left.

I’m a fan. Keep doing these follow up videos.

We love your work ☺️

You have a great voice and suits this medium very well. So don't knock yourself too hard!

5:45 Same, idk why, when hanging out with friends for a few hours if i'm particularly talkative that day i can feel my throat a bit sore the next, i always thought it was because in my day to day and in my job i don't need to talk for prolonged periods of time so my voice was just not used to it but who knows, didn't happen to me when i was young. Doesn't really bother me that much but i could never be a teacher or something similar that's for sure.

Kermit on a hangover works for me 😉 Appreciate all you do ✌️

We need that Kermit on a hangover as one of your intros!

I think that what changed in Theranos was that once the big money started coming in the temptation was to keep the momentum going. They prolly started making small compromises at first with an ends justifies the means type of attitude. But then they couldn't find the courage to back down and admit their failures so they just doubled down to try to keep it going.

Please keep doing the follow ups Joe! Also... I have the same concerns with my voice - let us know if you find a solution to it hurting after doing too much!

I have never liked my own voice either, so much so that I let the robot voice greet people on my cell, when I don't pick up. I never noticed the oddity of your voice before. Being that I have moderate Aspergers, I'll probably focus too much on its outright weirdness now. JEEZ MAN! Thanks Joe.
