The Wildly Capable Show
Everyday you wake up with a choice. You can either face life's challenges head on or let life happen to you.
A few years ago, as a family, we decided to make a change. We wanted to become wildly capable. Now we're on a mission to equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive. We want to train hard and run fast towards our goals.
And we apply this energy to every aspect of our lives—parenting, business, health, and marriage. This show is designed to explore ways to increase our capacity and and enable us to aggressively live out our calling.
We don't shy away from challenge. We charge the storm.

In this episode of the Homegrown Podcast, hosts Liz and Joey welcome Christine Cimabue, a licensed contractor and passionate advocate for healthier homes. Christine shares her personal journey that began in 2011 when she discovered severe mold issues in her first home. This experience propelled her into the construction industry, where she now emphasizes the importance of homeowner empowerment, understanding the hidden dangers of mold, and the critical role of proper construction practices. The conversation covers various topics, including the significance of leak testing, the impact of building materials on health, and the necessity of monitoring radon levels in homes.
