Podcast: Betting On Zero and Herbalife’s Latino Exploitation

This week on Highly Relevant, which you can now subscribe to now, we discuss the important new documentary called “Betting On Zero” which hits theaters soon. It centers on the alleged pyramid scheming of the nutrition company Herbalife. It also chronicles in detail how Latinos have been exploited by Herbalife as well. Ted Braun, the director of the film, and Latina activist Julie Contreras also a part of the film, join me to discuss the film’s central premise and the financial ramifications Herbalife’s sketchy business dealings have had on the Hispanic community.
