No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis

After several years of working in private equity, Angela Sutherland never thought she would one day become the co-founder of a baby food company. However, when Sutherland became pregnant with her first child, she realized the gap in the market of easily accessible food that is also nutritionally sound. After doing some research and pitching the problem to her longtime friend Evelyn Rusli, the two decided to create Yumi, an organic baby food company with weekly deliveries. On this episode, Sutherland and Rusli discuss their decisions to leave their careers in private equity and journalism, respectively, for the life of an entrepreneur and how their “immigrant motors” have been their number one motivator along the way.

Rebecca has a special message about a new podcast three-years-in the making. It's called "The Dropout" and you can subscribe here: https://apple.co/2FAlmjZ Launching January 23, 2018, "The Dropout" tells the story of the rise and fall of former Silicon Valley star Elizabeth Holmes, the youngest self-made female billionaire. She dropped out of Stanford to launch her company Theranos -- claiming her technology could detect hundreds of diseases from a drop or two of blood. If it worked, she would have changed healthcare forever. But today, Elizabeth Holmes is under criminal indictment. She pleaded not guilty, but is facing up to 20 years in prison on wire fraud charges. So how did it all come crashing down? In exclusive interviews with former employees, investors and patients, and in never-before-aired depositions from the people at the center of this story -- including Elizabeth herself -- you’ll hear an unbelievable story of fame and ambition gone terribly wrong.
