Marta Tellado, CEO of Consumer Reports: Happy To Be Here Podcast Show Notes
Marta Tellado is the CEO of Consumer Reports and the author of the newly published book, Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace. I was so excited to have Marta on this episode because she’s an expert in all the big questions we’re sitting with right now - How do we know which period tracking app to actually use? What is going on with our privacy settings? How should you childproof your little one’s phones? How do I know the supplements that the influencer is promoting are actually safe?
