    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.

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