OhHello - Vanessa Otero

OhHello!

It's episode 94 -- Welcome Vanessa Otero, founder & CEO of Ad Fontes Media, the force behind the viral Media Bias Chart! Vanessa is a passion fueled change-agent who has been walking the walk, since day 1, as her company's vision is more important than ever. In fact, just yesterday, at the Association of National Advertisers Media Summit, Lou Paskalis + The Trade Desk's Jeff Green talked about the integration and importance of advertisers NOT avoiding hashtag#news content b/c of great integrations like what Ad Fontes has been building.

(This pod was initially scheduled for later in the month, but I've also gotten to know Vanessa over the past couple years and wanna help get her some more ⛽⛽⛽⛽ for her 🔥 because this is an important mission)

She left a successful law career to fix the broken way we consume news. Today, her company rates media for reliability and bias... and her POV on truth, leadership, and mentorship is 🔥

💥 Highlights:
🧠 “We’re all biased... but systems don’t have to be”
🔍 She created a hiring process that builds in ideological diversity
📈 Her mentorship rule: Only take advice from people who have exactly what you want
💡 And the big one: Don’t quit. Be the one who stays in the game

In a biased and misleading news landscape, it's beyond essential to know where your information and sources are coming from hashtag#bias hashtag#politics hashtag#media

And with honest, unfiltered, and raw 1:1 mentorship sessions that businesses are providing for their teams via OhHello.ai 👋, it's more important than ever to have access to real, empathetic, leaders like Vanessa.
