SILICON VALLEY, CA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- "Courage," according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is defined as the "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty."

Verb Presents™ is honored to welcome Tyler Shultz as its guest speaker on Monday, November 9, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. This private, web-based session is open exclusively to the clients and friends of Silicon Private Wealth®. The presentation will be hosted by Peter Coe Verbica, CFP®, JD, a Managing Director and Principal at Silicon Private Wealth.

Few have exhibited courage under duress as compellingly as Tyler Shultz, best known for his role as a whistleblower who helped expose the multibillion-dollar Theranos fraud. He appeared on 60 Minutes, was featured in the Wall Street Journal, and his interviews on social media have received millions of views. Tyler earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Stanford University and co-founded Flux Biosciences and Healthyr. He was named to Forbes' 2017 30 Under 30 list in Healthcare.

Led by charismatic CEO Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos reportedly assembled a board featuring some of the most prominent figures in American government, business, and law, including Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, James Mattis, William Perry, Sam Nunn, Riley Bechtel, and litigator David Boies.

Holmes also reportedly persuaded prominent investors and wealthy families to back Theranos, including members of the DeVos, Cox, and Walton families, Rupert Murdoch, Carlos Slim, Tim Draper, and Donald Lucas.

The prestige of the company's board and investors did not establish the scientific validity of its core technology. For investors, the lesson is the importance of independent verification by those with expertise in the underlying technology, regardless of who else is involved.
Tyler will share his insights on borrowed credibility, the importance of independent validation, first-principles reasoning, the value of scientific expertise when examining core technology, and how to stay true to one's values when confronted by institutional pressure, personal risk, and powerful personalities. His experience raises an essential question for investors: when the evidence contradicts the prevailing narrative, who has the courage to speak up?
