Thyme to Talk Mold Remediation - Kelly Macmillan, National Sales Director for Benefect

Thyme to Talk Mold Remediation - Kelly Macmillan, National Sales Director for Benefect

Author: Andrew Pace October 26, 2024 Duration: 43:26

I'm well aware of my skepticism; it's one of my many flaws.  One does not enter into their profession already skeptical. It's something that builds over time as sort of a defense mechanism.  In my particular case, my immediate jump to calling out BS is due to years of protecting my clients from the sea of so-called green and eco friendly building materials that only caused them more personal harm.  So when I hear about a hospital-grade disinfectant made from the same herb I use in my kitchen, I was quick to state my belief. I was wrong.  On today's show, I'll talk with Kelly Macmillan, National Sales Director for Benefect and she really takes me to school about their amazing invention. Timing is perfect because right now, millions of folks living in South East US are dealing with their own nightmares because of the hurricanes.  Water damage cleanup and mold remediation are front and center here.
