Mr. Shkreli, your many business decisions position you as a strong capitalist, and you have had many successes in your career. Yet you have received much criticism for many of your decisions, actions, and opinions, which often place profits ahead of individual interests. Do you believe leaders with a strong sense of empathy can succeed in business?
Yes, everyone loves to hate on this guy, partly because of the obnoxious persona he presents. However, if you actually follow the guy closely, his heart is in the right place with regard to curing rare diseases. So here goes: 1) What advice would you give to young entrepreneurs? Are there any particular lessons you had to learn the hard way? 2) Are you interested in treating/curing senile diseases and ways to significantly extend human life? 3) What role, if any, do you think the government should play in pharmaceutical industry, as well as healthcare as a whole? 4) When can we expect Harambe to live again?
