#43 Keep Everything Clean, Including Your Cell - Gerald Davis, Vision Janitorial Service

Not having enough food in the house growing up was a tough start for Gerald Davis. This lack of sustenance made him love to go to his grandmother's house, because he got fed, and along the way, she taught him that cleanliness really WAS next to godliness. Gerald was a football player good enough to earn a college scholarship, but a pregnant girlfriend took him off the rails and started him down a bad path. Making lots of money selling crack was too much to pass up and led him to a prison sentence. On release, the memories of his grandmother's teachings stayed with him. Gerald applied for a KIVA (10% of the Startup Radio Network's profits go to this same organization!) loan and received $3,000 to go toward the founding of Vision Janitorial Services, a minority-owned, startup cleaning service serving businesses in Fort Worth.
