I connected with Michael on Instagram (@themoldmedic) and discovered his work through Brian Karr’s podcast, Mold Finders Radio (69: How to avoid mold in a new construction home w/ Michael Rubino) Michael was immediately happy to share helpful information on the podcast and I can attest to his genuine care, knowledge, and excitement to help others feel their best.
