I did not! I just scrolled through the channel and this episode immediately caught my attention. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is the video that initially popped into my mind, it's from 2008 titled:
Homeless Man Used to Be a Banker Before the Recession
Sucks it's only 10 minutes long due to 2008 YouTube, because his story is wild and pretty heartbreaking at some points:
- ran away from home at 12 with hippies
- returned home after 1 year, kicked out for good
- spent ~2 months in every US state over the next 15 years
- settled in LA, got job in the investing arena (diamonds, indie films, oil/gas)
- evicted from his home
- loses storage unit with all of his belongings, including 10,000 pages and a book to his daughter
- even more
