OMG I hope that this episode will be one that you share with everyone you know!
On this episode I got the chance to sit down with Robert Bilott, the real life lawyer who went after DuPont for poisoning us all with Teflon or PFOA, a forever chemical that is in 99% of the population and that our bodies CAN NOT break down and eliminate. Rob is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Practice Groups for over 31 years. During that time, Rob has handled and led some of the most novel and complex cases in the country involving damage from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including the first individual, class action, mass tort, and multi-district litigation proceedings involving PFAS, recovering over $1 billion for clients impacted by the chemicals. Rob is the author of the book Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyers 20 year battle Against DuPont and his story inspired the 2019 film Dark Waters (I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!). In 2017, Rob received the Right Livelihood Award, the Alternative Nobel Prize for his decades of work on the behalf of those injured by PFAS chemical contamination and is frequently invited to be a keynote speaker at colleges across the country.
If you want to know the truth this is an episode to definitely listen to! Please be sure to pick up a copy of Rob's book and/or watch the movie based on his book
