Not long ago a young lady, Gabby, was in our neighborhood putting door hangers out for Agent Clean a company that does commercial and residential exterior cleaning. We've been wanting to do this for some time so I called them and Gabby set up a meeting. Nikolas Bender showed up and he gave me a price and we set the date.

Gabby is his wife. Click through to learn how Nikolas, who was a part-time employee of the company ended up as the owner. A true entrepreneur.

  • I was sitting in a club listening to a great band and visiting with the guy sitting next to me. We were talking about bands, drums and the crowd. I found Tony McGhee so interesting that I asked if he might sit down for an interview. A couple of days later we had the conversation you are about to hear.

Tony has traveled all over the U.S. done gigs in Germany and is attempting to do work with troubled youth and play for folks who have significant vision issues.
