Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am first joined by Tyler and he shares his sighting back in 2004 of something he and someone else saw on night near the side of teh road before it ran back into the cornfield in rural Minnesota, and later I will be joined by Imran who shares his couple of experuiences where he believed he was having a nervous breakdown and spent time in a mental health facility, but is now in Italy where he can no longer sleep normally, and is essentially trapped without being able to return to the USA.Remember that mental health is a very serious issue, and is not to be taken lightly.

How can the human body react to the presence of mold? For some it can go completely unnoticed, for others, sadly, the consequences can be very dangerous. In today’s episode, we’ll get to listen to one of the most powerful testimonies about air contamination related to mold inside a residential building and how one woman was able to change her circumstances to improve her health and her family’s.When you reach a point of desperation so big that you start questioning everything around you, when you start to feel like you exhausted all your resources and there’s nothing else you can do to fix your situation, that’s when you really need to pack your strength and trust your instincts.

In today’s episode, we continue abording some of the most important principles involved in the remediation industry with the help of Michael Pinto. How can you make sure that you are performing high-quality remediations? We’ll be discussing this and other ethics-related issues in a new chapter of the Manage Mold podcast. Experience means nothing if you don’t conduct yourself with ethics. This rule applies to pretty much every job and activity we perform in life, but when we talk about the remediation industry, this principle acquires a new level of importance and that’s what we’re discussing today along with our expert, Michael Pinto. We’ll be also discussing how important is to focus your whole attention to every inspection and remediation work to prevent any further complication in the future, because believe it or not, giving the fasted and easiest version of your work as remediator can end up being more harmful than not doing any remediation at all.So tune in and learn about the keys to delivering and finding a great remediation solution in this episode of the Manage Mold podcast.  Key points discussed:The baselines to inform yourself about indoor air quality and mold remediation (02:02)  The consequences of bad mold remediation in a workspace (True story) (05:37)The birth of Wonder Makers Environment (10:45)Reaching a point of giving back to your community (13:58)Five fundamental points on mold contamination according to Michael Pinto’s book (19:53)The importance of the integration between medical with the environmental (26:03)Ending the unwillingness to elevate the quality of work in the remediation industry (28:19)--Join the Private Facebook Group!The Manage Mold Facebook GroupFREE REPORT - the 12 common mold growers (and how to stop them)http://bit.ly/managemoldpodcastThe baselines to indoor air quality and mold remediation:wondermakers.commoldsensitized.com --You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
