Check out Part II of our Theranos series!!

We are back bitches! Sorry it has been a minute since our last episode. But we are back with a bang in Part 1 of our deep dive into the Theranos scandal and the woman behind it, Elizabeth Holmes. How did a Stanford chemical engineering student who dropped out after less than 2 years of college, with no medical or business background, convince some of the most wealth and powerful people (old rich men) to invest in her medical device and laboratory company? How did she convince them that at 19 with little to no training had developed groundbreaking new technology that would revolutionize medicine and the world forever? How did she not only convince them to give her almost 1 billion dollars, but also convince them to put their name and reputation on the line to defend her and destroy for her? We kick off this series with a little psychology, the early life of Holmes, and the foundation being laid for a house of cards.  Love your faces and Smooches! Lara & Tanya

Tanya couldn't make it this week so my girl Sofia stepped in to fill her stylish shoes! We chat about Grandma Weavy, the origins of our friendship, a few listener emails, and then we settle a fight between a listener couple that just couldn't agree!

Check out the final episode of our Enron series. We pick up from Part II where we covered the deals, the partners in crime, and the culture. This episode we cover what caused it all to come crashing down. We start with the clusterfuck that was the deregulated energy market of California and Enrons complete raping of their economy along with their justification and god complex that started the downfall. But ultimately we attempt to answer the questions- If you can make up all the money you want, hide all the debt you want, and have your boy in the White House covering your butt...what happened?

Welcome to Part II of our Enron deep dive! We talk about some of the deals that set the company up for total and complete failure. From the outright fraud and trickery, to paying employees to fail in the most epic ways possible. Then we talk about their partners in crime who should have been the guard rails to protect everyone but also produced epic failures. We dive into the poor tortured internal compliance team who were used as props by Jeff Skilling for years...but really he screwed them from the word GO. Finally we move into the Enron frat bro culture of entitled spoiled brats who wail at the dishonor of being given ONLY a $400,000 bonus. Part III will be out next week, so enjoy!    Love your faces and Smooches! Lara & Tanya

Join Lara & Tanya for their first deep dive series exploring the collapse of the 7th largest corporation in America Enron. It ended up being the largest corporate bankruptcy in the history of the United States. But how did it get there? In this first episode Lara & Tanya discuss the source materials, a few key things to keep in mind while we cover this topic, and finally the founder of the company who would turn out to be the enabler of the disaster, Ken Lay. Then we cover the architect of the disaster and his life that lead him to Enron, Jeff Skilling. Make sure to subscribe to get parts 2 & 3. Also, please share this episode on your social media pages. We worked so hard on this and we really want to share it.
