In this inspiring conversation, Danny sits down with Sean Swentek — a seasoned marketing executive, nonprofit leader, and surf therapy advocate — to explore how sport can be a powerful tool for youth development, healing, and hope.
Sean shares his journey from corporate marketing at Omnidian to co-founding A Walk on Water, a nonprofit that brings surf therapy to children with special needs. He talks about the life-changing impact these programs have not only on kids, but on their families — and even shares the emotional story of a nonverbal child who spoke his first words after catching a wave.
Sean also dives into his passion for renewable energy, what it means to build intentional life balance, and how saying “no” to distractions has helped him say “yes” to building legacy-impact work that changes lives.

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.
