It’s too late for a lot of things for me. I just turned 60 and I have a new Achilles tendon issue; my back has been hurting in so many different areas; I had just healed my shoulder. So, it’s probably best to accept that there are certain things—such as being a professional tennis player or ultra-marathoner—that I’ll never be able to do. You might be in the same situation: you may feel like it’s too late to meet certain goals.

And you’re right.

In this episode, I explain why it is too late to do what you’re passionate about—and why you have to start doing it now. I reveal various setbacks that prevent you from taking your first step toward your goals. I also share opportunities I missed years ago and the things I’m just starting today, even though I could have begun sooner.

“Life is now. We don’t know if we have tomorrow, so what are you going to do today?” - Mark Silverman

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.
