ShowUp | When business gets messy

Unagi believe it. 

We saw everything. Yes, even the shower scene. 🚿

SPOILER ALERT: In this bonus episode, we break down Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. Is Holmes naive, deluded, or a master manipulator? We dig into the “radical transparency,” Billy Evans’ grip on the story, the infamous egg scene, Amanda Seyfried’s surprise appearance, and more.

Plus, we look back on our interview with Theranos whistleblower Erika Cheung and ask the big question: have we all been played? Get the money. 💸

One tiny drop, one $9 billion flop. Dang, Holmes is back on top!

With A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything hitting theaters October 16, we’re bringing back our conversation with THE WHISTLEBLOWER responsible for shutting down Theranos, the biggest health tech fraud of our time, and critical in sending Holmes to prison.

In this episode, we investigate the fine line between profit and prison for three jaw-dropping cases of corporate fraud and white-collar crime. Why do so many tech entrepreneurs go bad, and run afoul of their customers or the SEC? We also talk to a tech CEO just out of prison for lying to investors. And our very own cohost was almost caught destroying evidence.

Originally released December 19, 2024.

One of the biggest corn capers in history has us questioning what’s really behind the organic label. 

We follow the trail of a $140 million fraud and talk to reporters, an organic industry veteran and a scientist studying pesticides and human health to separate fact from fiction about organic food, GMOs and what we’re actually eating. There’s more than one kernel of truth to this story.

Aw, shucks.

You're going to eat this season up.

We’re cooking the books and stirring up crooks. Dang, we feel shook! 

This episode, we investigate the fine line between profit and prison for three jaw-dropping cases of corporate fraud and white-collar crime. Why do so many tech entrepreneurs go bad, and run afoul of their customers or the SEC?

To get to the bottom of it, we went to the top – we talk to a tech CEO just out of prison for lying to investors as well as THE WHISTLEBLOWER responsible for shutting down the biggest health tech fraud of our time, and critical in sending a certain infamous female CEO to prison. If that wasn’t enough, our very own cohost was almost caught destroying evidence.

ShowUp does true crime?

Divestiture? I hardly know ‘er! 

In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of Western corporations publicly withdrawing from countries with human rights violations. Do companies like Starbucks and McDonald's actually forego profits, or are their actions merely PR stunts? And if they do withdraw, does it have any real impact on the target country (e.g., Mother Russia)? We talk with global economics experts and recruit a secret Russian source to get to the bottom of it.
