The National Mold Solutions Summit is hosted by Stacy Malesiewski, Austin Air Marketing Director, a mold survivor, certified health coach, published author, and mother of four whose family was directly impacted by mold exposure. After navigating a complex mold-related health journey that affected not only her own health but her entire household, Stacy became deeply committed to ensuring that other families—and the clinicians who serve them—have access to clear, trustworthy guidance. Her lived experience gives her a rare, firsthand understanding of how mold exposure can disrupt physical health, mental well-being, childhood development, and family life. In this summit, Stacy will speak with nationally recognized physicians, researchers, and industry experts to elevate credible voices across medicine, remediation, law, and advocacy. Through the National Mold Solutions Summit, she hopes to build a lasting, trusted platform to support mold-impacted individuals, families, and the professionals guiding them.

Jason Earle is the founder and creator of the GOT MOLD? Test Kit, a professional-quality air testing solution designed to make mold detection accessible, affordable, and ethical. His work is deeply personal: as a child, Jason suffered from severe asthma and environmental allergies that mysteriously disappeared after his family moved out of a musty farmhouse—an experience he later recognized as mold-related. Years later, that realization sparked a career dedicated to understanding how buildings impact health. After working in mold remediation and witnessing widespread conflicts of interest, Jason pioneered one of the first independent mold inspection services in the country and helped popularize canine mold detection through thousands of inspections nationwide. Driven by a commitment to integrity and consumer empowerment, he went on to develop the GOT MOLD? Test Kit, giving families reliable, lab-analyzed air testing in just a few simple steps—without the cost or confusion of traditional inspections.

Lindsay and Blake Reeves are the founders of Hope the Mold Dog and parents whose lives were forever changed by toxic mold exposure. After relocating to Georgia in 2014, their entire family—including their children and later their adopted teenage son—developed severe, unexplained health issues that went undiagnosed for years, despite countless medical visits and interventions. Ultimately, Blake uncovered the true cause: hidden toxic mold throughout their home. Leaving nearly everything behind, the Reeves family escaped the environment and slowly regained much of their health. Now back in Northwest Arkansas, Lindsay and Blake have turned their painful experience into purpose, helping other families navigate mold exposure with compassion and clarity. Both are certified mold inspectors and work alongside Hope, their highly trained mold detection dog—a small but mighty Jack Russell Terrier with over 1,000 hours of elite training—who can identify hidden mold beyond the reach of conventional tools. Through Hope the Mold Dog, the Reeves family brings lived experience, technical expertise, and genuine hope to families facing one of the most confusing and devastating environmental health challenges.
