What does it take to build a business that thrives through challenges while staying rooted in the community? In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, hosts Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan sit down with restaurateur Jay Johnson, owner of Bubba’s Roadhouse in Cape Coral, Florida.

Jay shares how he grew his restaurant and catering business, what it’s like to pull off once-in-a-lifetime events on remote islands, and how being part of the community has been key to his long-term success. From feeding thousands after hurricanes to serving on the Chamber of Commerce, Jay explains why giving back is not just good business — it’s the right thing to do.

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.
