the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day Hey. What's happening? Well, I'm here on the Joe Rogan Experience, man. That's what's happening for Allen's.
Push this thing up. Get it pretty close to your face. Yeah, great. Thanks for doing this, man. I was very curious to meet you, and I heard so much about you from John Paul DiGiorio. and, you know, what you're doing. And we've always wondered, like, there's always been these questions, like, how do you put a dent in the homeless situation? Like, what can be done?
And what I see from you is probably the best example, the best possible example I've ever seen. And going to your place, going to see this community that you've established and how you give these people hope and a purpose, it's really pretty amazing stuff.
Well, I appreciate that much, yeah.
How did you get started on this journey? And when? How long have you been doing it?
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.
