And I'm blogging about how like in the morning, there's like 200 business people lined up on the...
train platform heading from greenwich down to manhattan to go to work but on the other side of people going north there's like me and a couple of maids and maybe some some day workers going up to bridgeport there's like six of us on the platform there's like 200 people on one side of the platform like six of us on the other and it's like fascinating to me i'm blogging about it
So I get a phone call from this guy, and he tells me he's a reporter at a hedge fund magazine.
I didn't even know there were hedge fund magazines.
And he said he's a reporter, and he asked me, he goes, are you the guy who's writing that blog?
Are you the minister to hedge funders?
I said, well, I'm ministering here and I'm working with the hedge funders in AA, but I've never quite put those concepts together.
And I talked to the guy and we arranged an interview and I like run into the kitchen.
And I said to Lynn, I said, I think our big idea has come.
Like, this is incredible.
Like minister to hedge funders.
This is like a great idea.
So we decide we're going to start what turns out to be the world's first ministry to support white-collar criminals and their families.
And we don't know what it's going to be.
We don't know if there's going to be anybody who's going to pay attention.
We don't know anything, but we know we don't want anyone to go through what we went through.
And we look online at that point.
There's nothing we can find.
And we start this ministry.
And we go to one of the big churches in Greenwich, and we say, listen, we need a home.
