That's our first and only group that we need to be.

Lucinda: Oh, this is such a privilege. It's good to connect with other fellow patriots and people that are like-minded and concerned about where our country is. Brian: Absolutely. So why don't you let us know a little bit about what it is that you do and how you ended up here? Lucinda: Years ago, I was in financial services and I realized all of a sudden, there was no good news coming out of the United States or Europe or anywhere else. I thought, well, you know, there may be something to the need of preparing my family, for whatever might come?
