But in order to win in the community in Philadelphia, I said, we got to be more philanthropic than everyone. So that sort of was my first foray into this. We started to find something that anyone, everyone could relate to, which was affordable housing and hunger. And so I started to do that. And everybody was like, yeah, bravo, good job. You know, Habitat for Humanity does this every day.

When the economic downturn of 2008 happened, Dorothea said, now you got to feed the people in the houses you've built. I was like, hmm. And then stream of consciousness, she just lays out a plan for this thing that we now call the JBJ Soul Kitchens.

It empowers people because we ask them if they can't pay anything to volunteer. And if you guys were to come and didn't volunteer, you'd sort of think you're missing the party because everybody's working in the garden or bussing a table or washing a dish, folding napkins. It's not...
