In this episode of the What’s Your Hustle? Podcast, Matt sits down with Jordan from Blue Ridge Mold Dogs to uncover one of the most overlooked dangers in homes—hidden toxic mold.

Jordan shares how her business uses specially trained detection dogs to find mold in places traditional inspections often miss. From behind walls to under flooring, these dogs can pinpoint the exact source—saving homeowners time, money, and potential health risks.

We break down how mold detection actually works, why mold-related illness is often misunderstood, and the key signs that your home environment could be affecting your health. Jordan also dives into the process of working with homeowners, what to expect during an inspection, and why identifying the source of mold is the most important step in solving the problem.

This episode also highlights Jordan’s journey into building Blue Ridge Mold Dogs and the mission behind helping families create safer, healthier living spaces.

Kim shares how My Show Buddy connects fans with live events by offering everything from event planning guidance to physically attending as your “buddy”—whether you’re going solo, need help navigating logistics, or even need a trusted chaperone for your child.

We dive into the real problems people face when trying to attend events—like not having someone to go with, feeling uncomfortable going alone, or being overwhelmed by venue rules, parking, and planning. Kim explains how her service removes those barriers and helps people fully enjoy the experiences they’ve been missing out on.
