Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi everyone, it's Ben Walter with a big welcome back.
Over the last two seasons of The Unshakeables, we've shared
some amazing small business stories from all over the country,
like Don Hejny of Nashville, Tennessee, who toiled for three
years to find a way to keep his glasses from
sliding down his nose.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I wanted to make it for myself, like I wanted
to use it, and because I wanted to use it,
I was like willing to just do whatever it took
to make it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Or Samantha Snabes, an engineer turned CEO in Austin, Texas
who saw 3D printing as a way to change the world.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
If you're going to print from shredded up garbage, you
should do it on an island.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's an extreme use case of people that sometimes have
to pay to get rid of their waste. Win win right.
We've had engineers, designers, tennis pros, florists, entrepreneurs from across America,
and over the next few episodes we're going further. We're
looking at founders who are building communities, changing systems, and
even shaping culture.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I finally went back and read the contract and it's like, yeah, no,
there is no refund. I sat on the steps in
Union Square and I cried because I really kind of thought, Oh,
this is where your ambition has met your delusion. Geriatric
patients left sitting in the emergency rooms will decline further
just by waiting.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
We're fixing that. Returning to join me again on this
journey is Kathleen Griffith, founder of Grayce & Co, author of
Build Like a Woman, and my frequent co host.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
So glad to be back.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Just when I think we've covered the best possible entrepreneurial
story with that oh wow breakdown moment, it just gets
better and better.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
From Chase for Business and Ruby Studio. From my Heart Media,
this is the Unshakeables. I'm Ben Walter, and I'll see
you back here soon

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
