b'This week we\\u2019re speaking with a woman who\\u2019s on a mission to make other women, "really f***ing rich." And who doesn\'t like the sound of that? Cindy Eckert, founder and CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals is leading this charge, while simultaneously supercharging our sex lives. Her company \\u2014 which she sold for $1 billion and bought back for practically nothing \\u2014 created Addyi, the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women.
