This is a very complex group of people with a myriad of very, very complex issues. They will have to be subsidized for the rest of their lives. And we just have to come to grips with that as a society.

Hey.

What's happening?

Well, I'm here on the Joe Rogan Experience, man.

That's what's happening for Allen's.

Well, I appreciate that much, yeah.

Well, Joe, the organization's 26 years old, so founded it in 1998.

It was just a simple idea to start going out on the streets and feeding people out with a catering truck, what many of our friends would call a roach coach.

And I got this idea built on a conversation that my wife and I had with a girlfriend of ours who was telling us about a ministry in Corpus Christi, Texas, where on cold winter nights, multiple churches would come together and pool their resources.

to take out to the men and women that were on the streets in the winter in Corpus.

And at that moment, the image of this catering truck came out of my subconscious mind into my conscious brain as a distribution mechanism from those of us that have abundance to those that lack.

And that was pretty, pretty simple.

And as a serial real estate entrepreneur,

I thought that that idea was a brilliant idea.

Of course, every idea that you come up with is a brilliant idea when you're a serial entrepreneur.

And it just blew up in a positive way.

But it really began a couple of years prior to that on a spiritual retreat that I went to at my church that I was invited to.

And had I known that a bunch of guys were going to get together and hold hands and kind of do that bromance, hugging it out, I'd have never gone.
