Mixed feelings
I enjoyed this podcast and found the information interesting and love getting an inside scoop on how things come to fruition. And based on the information they provided, I really think Adam and James started Juul as an attempt to find a positive solution to address a serious problem. But the ending of episode 6 was super irritating and frustrating due to what it felt like huge aspects of the all the previous episodes’ information were nullified. I’m having a hard time understanding Laura’s perspective and judgment. She states “my mother-in-law would be better off vaping”. How does she know that? And saying if they had marketed it differently, the “rational future of smoking” might look really different. What does that even mean?? We all know, hindsight is 2020. If we could always predict every possible consequence of every invention, and choose not to create it, because humans will always find a way to use something intended for good in a way that is detrimental in someway, we would still be living in the dark ages without fire or a wheel. And, this started in Silicon Valley, “not market it as a cool new gadget”??? But when things go wrong, it’s part of the human condition, especially Americans, to find a clear cut, black and white answer to complex issues, and find someone to blame. It was sad to see Laura fall victim to that simplification.

Not sure why Laura Beal would put her name on something this average - twice in a row. It’s barely a compelling story and wondery’s suffocating ad frequency makes everything worse. Sigh.

But weirdly stretched out so there isn’t really much content in each episode.
