In this episode, we explore the urgent need to bring back true leaders—ALPHAs—by examining how recent polls reveal a lack of confidence in current political leadership, especially among Democrats, while Republicans remain more confident. Despite messaging and narratives, human nature gravitates toward leaders we feel can get the job done, not just claim they can. We discuss how “betas” are seemingly running the show in many sectors and why leadership styles matter, emphasizing that being a “beta” isn’t about weakness but about different approaches. Inspired by insights from Dr. Orion Taraban, we reflect on how to reclaim our power as “we the people,” holding leaders accountable, embracing our strengths and weaknesses, and striving for authentic, service-driven leadership to restore confidence and direction in society.

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.
