What happens when the life you planned suddenly burns to the ground—or when you realize you lit the match yourself?
In Episode 2 of the Burn the Map series, I dive into Chapter One of the book and the moments that change everything. From the first time my daughter Jamie was shot… to Sandy’s wake-up call… to the kind of fear that paralyzes you when the map disappears—this episode explores the fires we don’t ask for and the ones we start without realizing.
We don’t always choose the fire—but we can choose what happens next.
Some maps burn slowly, and others disappear in a flash. Sometimes we unknowingly or purposely set fire to the plan. No matter how you got here, you are standing on foreign territory.
It's all about what you choose to do next.
Your story matters, so live it courageously!

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.
