Kitten Hugs and the Blockchain Heart
You're never too big to need a hug.
I've told you before about the sitcom I'm developing in which a character based on Steven A. Cohen, barred from the hedge fund industry after an unfortunate misunderstanding involving insider trading, moves his family office to a charming small town and gets into a series of misadventures with his quirky neighbors that ultimately cause him to learn a lot about himself and embrace his softer side. One character that I was really excited about was the touchy-feely sports psychologist whom Cohen would hire to improve his employees' performance, but who would turn out to be the sort of guy who hangs posters of kittens in his office and walks around the office hugging everyone. Imagine the comedic possibilities! My Steve Cohen character -- a hard-charging hedge-fund guy who terrifies employees, watches the markets on seven screens, owns a shark in formaldehyde -- gritting his teeth and going in for a hug! Steve Cohen, popping into the office down the hall to talk to his performance coach, only to come face-to-face with a motivational poster featuring a teddy bear and a kitten! And smiling tightly, and nodding, and screaming silently to himself: "This is fine. This is what I wanted." I realize it is all a little far-fetched, but it is my sitcom and I can take a few liberties.
