About the Winner

At 65, Stacy Blackman decided to start a new business of odor removal for apartments, homes and cars. It's not clear what inspires someone to choose this as a business to get into in their mid-60s, but perhaps the sense of smell wanes a little so it's not so much an issue?

In any event there's certainly a need for someone to do this, and Stacy's the one. His odor removal machines use no chemicals or harsh products. And he offers to go in when nobody is home to do his dirty work.
