About this listen
From the hero whistleblower of the infamous Theranos scam, Thicker than Water is a look at never-before-revealed details behind closed doors at the company, revealing a cautionary tale of corporate bullying, gaslighting, ego, and wealth running amok in Silicon Valley.
Tyler Shultz had been in the workforce for less than a year when he emailed Elizabeth Holmes, his employer and the CEO and founder of Theranos, with concerns that the company’s lab practices were faulty, ignored quality control, and were potentially dangerous to patients. The COO fired back with a dismissive and insulting email, to which Tyler replied: “Consider this my two weeks’ notice.”
From there, his life spun out of control at the hand of Elizabeth, her team of high-powered lawyers, and the patriarch of Tyler’s own family George Shultz - one of America’s most prominent statesmen - who sat among the top of the Theranos board of directors. And yet, Tyler forged on. To protect his own conscience, the honor and reputation of his grandfather, and the health of patients worldwide.
Thicker than Water is Tyler’s as-told-to story - a harrowing and heartbreaking roller coaster of biomedical drama, family intrigue, and redemption - that will ultimately make you feel as though you are at a dinner party, seated next to a brilliant friend with one hell of a story.

An excellent follow-on from Bad Blood, this is well worth a listen. It's short, punchy and captivating. I finished it almost in one listening

Tyler is a hero
I thought I knew a lot about Theranos having read Bad Blood, listened to the podcast and followed the trial, but I’m so glad I listened to Tyler’a story. Thank you Tyler.

Must listen
If you are at all interested in the Theranos failure, you should listen to this. A fascinating exploration of a whistleblower’s experience. Such a shame that the only person who would listen was a journalist. Thank you Tyler for being so open and authentic with your story and being so resilient through it all.
