There is a phenomenon going on, a thirst for uncovering and understanding stories like that of Anna Delvey, the fake German heiress who scammed New York City’s elite socialites or Elizabeth Holmes who wooed her way into the hearts and pockets of Palo Alto’s tech leaders.

Whether you’re watching Inventing Anna on Netflix or reading Bad Blood, we can become sucked into the world of cons, scams, and conviction. One that makes us shiver from ickiness but also, makes us curious and fascinated.

In this episode, we’re talking about why we’re fascinated by these stories and what we can take from them (yes, there’s learning) and apply them to our own lives…. In small doses!
