The three brothers have used Dianetics, a philosophy which serves as the base of Scientology methodology, to aid their trading techniques. Their firm, Feshbach Bros., utilized Dianetics teachings in managing the company's investment fund, Southgate Partners. In 2005, her aunt was the manager of a Florida-based Scientology center. Her uncle told the St. Petersburg Times newspaper in Florida that a Scientology program titled Super Powers had helped him improve his investing skills.

Joseph and his brother are twins; as of 1990, their older brother Kurt utilized the same approach to investing.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or family:
“Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Since the Greeks, Western man has believed that Being, all Being, is intelligible, that there is a reason for everything ... and that the cosmos is, finally, intelligible. The Oriental, on the other hand, has accepted his existence within a universe that would appear to be meaningless, to the rational Western mind, and has lived with this meaninglessness. Hence the artistic form that seems natural to the Oriental is one that is just as formless or formal, as irrational, as life itself.”
—William Barrett (b. 1913)
“Grandmothers are to life what the Ph.D. is to education. There is nothing you can feel, taste, expect, predict, or want that the grandmothers in your family do not know about in detail.”
—Lois Wyse (20th century)
