Thursday Feb 20, 2025
Thursday Feb 20, 2025
What was it like to be a whistleblower and help expose what was happening at Theranos? How can a conflict-avoider find their voice? How can you navigate the balancing act between saying too much (the complainer) and saying too little (the pushover) at work?
To help answer these questions, we have Tyler Shultz joining us today on The Balancing Act Podcast. Tyler is a keynote speaker, venture partner at Verge HealthTech Fund, an Advisory Board Member at The Signals Network, former CEO/founder of Flux Biosciences, and was a research engineer and whistleblower at Theranos.
Tune into episode 181 to hear Tyler's story, his career "rocket-booster" moment, and his perspectives on cultivating courage, challenging conversations, and his experience as a Theranos whistleblower.
