James Baber is a executive management consultant and business owner with more than twenty years of experience in technology product management, development, and operations. He has consulted for 24 of the Fortune 100 and is appearing on Bulletproof Radio not because of his experience and knowledge in technology and business, but because he is a survivor of toxic mold exposure and has a wealth of information to share about this little-known problem that could be affecting over 100 million people in the US. James will be featured in the upcoming documentary, Moldy, which chronicles the dangers of environmental toxic mold, and sheds light on just how big of a problem it is, and how to go about dealing with it.
