Episode notes

Today, we have the privilege of sitting down with Jason Earle, the founder of Got Mold. With unwavering determination, Jason has become an indoor air quality crusader, driven by his own personal experiences and a deep desire to create healthier environments for all.

As a child, Jason suffered from severe asthma, leaving him allergic to almost everything in his environment. Initially misdiagnosed with cystic fibrosis, it was the discovery that his mold-infested childhood home was the root cause of his ailments that ignited his passion for addressing this silent menace. Jason courageously left behind a successful career on Wall Street to embark on his journey with Got Mold?®, a testament to his unwavering commitment to making a difference.

Jason joins us today to help us gain a deeper understanding of mold evaluation. This episode is going to help you address the possibility of mold in your home, from testing for its presence in your home to how you can protect yourself both in a health and legal sense.
