The Alden Report Podcast

If you have an e-commerce store, are a social media influencer, own your own brand or are thinking about starting a business, then you’re not going to want to miss this week’s episode of The Alden Report where I am joined by attorney Robert Freund. Along with very informative and engaging social media content, Robert is an experienced business litigator and advisor who focuses his practice on advertising compliance and litigation, with an emphasis on e-commerce and social media marketing issues.  His clients primarily are direct-to-consumer brands, marketing agencies, and individual creators.

Before opening his own firm, Mr. Freund honed his legal skills working at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, one of the largest and most respected international law firms.  Mr. Freund has represented individuals and companies in complex commercial litigation, including consumer class actions and claims related to false advertising and unfair competition.  He also has represented clients in the entertainment, real estate, and financial services industries.

While in law school at UC Davis, Mr. Freund clerked for the Consumer Protection Unit of the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, where he worked on civil and criminal cases involving fraud, deceptive advertising, anticompetitive practices, and other economic crimes.  Mr. Freund also served as an editor of the UC Davis Law Review.

Mr. Freund has lectured about social media advertising law at the University of Southern California, the University of San Diego, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, and he has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg Law, Vox, Business Insider, and Forbes on those issues.

Thank you very much to Robert for joining me on The Alden Report.

This week I’m joined by Best Selling Author, Speaker, Coach and Nutrition & Health Professional Neil Cannon. Neil’s mission is to help people avoid all major health conditions and minor ailments and to help them become free of symptoms, pain and medication by getting to the root cause of their health challenges. 

Neil is an Amazon #1 bestselling author of The Vitality Secret; Defy Disease, Combat Common Illnesses & Stay Young which highlights the root cause of almost every common illness, chronic disease and accelerated ageing; chronic inflammation. Neil’s inspiration for The Vitality Secret came from overcoming his own life-long battle with eczema and witnessing his father suffer an avoidable stroke. Through an extensive research quest, Neil realized that his eczema and his father’s asthma, hypertension and stroke were all a result of the same underlying root cause.

Neil is also a speaker and has held talks in Bali, London and Los Angeles and he has been invited to speak at UCLA on The Vitality Secret and the root cause of almost every health challenge that exists. In 2017, Neil won the Southern California Sustainable Business Award (Seedling Round) for the accompanying online program, which helps people to implement the teachings of The Vitality Secret.

Thank you so much to Neil for joining on The Alden Report.
