That was awesome.
Thank you, man.
Rakia time.
He's kind of hiding, but he's in that purple plant.
We're definitely a little attached to the baby.
In the late 1990s, Glenn Jarvis was an Australian living in London, working for a giant American energy and investment corporation, right in the centre of town, right in the middle of a bull market.
Life was exhilarating.
He made lots of friends.
But after a while working in the finance department, Glenn began to notice some very odd transactions.
Gigantic amounts of money were flooding in and out that just couldn't be accounted for.
And this was so perfectly strange because the company, a corporation named Enron, was regularly named as the most admired American corporation in the world.
Glenn took it up with his bosses, but they didn't want to know.
And that was odd too, because the company's slogan was, ask why.
Glenn's reputation at work changed and his life began to unravel under the hideous stress of it all.
He had a psychotic episode and spent the next two years in and out of mental health institutions in Australia and in the UK.
His family stuck by him, but things were difficult and he ended up in supported accommodation.
After a few years, and after finally accepting the truth of his diagnosis, Glenn began a slow and painstaking climb back into an entirely different life.
with the help of some good people at the local bolo.
Hello, Glenn.
You grew up in Queenbin and you had a stint in your childhood on Christmas Island.
