Ep. 2: Committed, Relentless, Authoritative - Adel Villalobos on 90 Years of NPA

In Episode 2 of the Supplement Playbook Podcast, NPA's Josh Long sits down with Adel Villalobos, founder and CEO of Lief Labs, NPA board member, and chair of the 90th Anniversary Committee. Adel explains why he describes NPA as "committed, relentless, and authoritative," traces the association's legacy from its 1936 founding through DSHEA, and makes the case for why state preemption is the next defining fight for the dietary supplement industry. He also shares why he has done to support NPA's 90th anniversary fundraising campaign, and why he's asking other industry leaders to step up with him.
