S1 | E17: Stinson Beach has been called the most southern California of Marin's beach towns. In a town of 541 people, where there are three real estate agencies, two restaurants, one grocery store and about 150 rental houses, there is only one residential cleaning business - that's Good & Clean.
Stinson Beach is separated from the rest of the County by a steep, windy, two-lane highway. Along the drive there, you may see a few white cars with Jeremy and Milton Gooden's company name branded on all sides. This remote beach town supports Good & Clean as its only Black owned business since Milton began it in 1996.
His son Jeremy officially started in 2006 after graduating college and brought with him some ideas for expansion and modernization, like the hybrid cards, to grow their business.
As in our previous episodes about Marin City, today we have a deeper conversation about the Black experience in Marin, in business and in the United States in general. So, for Milton the talk of community is a chance to reflect on how far he has come and it's a story that might surprise you. Stay tuned as we clean house with father and son on our continued pursuit of how Marin works.
Guests: Milton Gooden and Jeremy Gooden, Good & Clean
