“The Good Boss” Helps People Break Cycle of Homelessness and Addiction

VIDEO – THE GOOD NEWS BOSS –

March 8, 2024 – Victor Oliveira will be the first to tell you that, 12 years ago, he couldn’t have imagined what he would be doing now. In 2012, he was released from a Massachusetts state prison after serving a 20-month sentence for dealing drugs. “That’s where I had to smarten up,” he says matter-of-factly. “I said to myself, ‘I’m never going to go back. I’m going to do the right thing. I always liked helping people-my whole life. I think I get it from my mother.” 

Doing the right thing started with building the landscaping company he founded before he was incarcerated and treating his workers well. “I wanted to show the world that it’s great to work for a good boss,” he said.
