Life’s storms come in many forms—grief, betrayal, loss, health battles, unexpected change—and they rarely show up when we’re ready. Some storms give no warning. Others we see coming from miles away. And some rage on for years.

In Episode 7 of the Burn the Map series, I share stories and lessons from Chapter Six, The Storms That Shape Us. We’ll talk about the different kinds of life storms, what they leave behind, and how they can shape us into overcomers rather than victims.

In this episode:

  • Earthquakes: The storms with no warning
  • Hurricanes: The ones we see coming
  • Tornadoes: Chaos that hits fast and hard
  • Wildfires: The long-term battles that reshape everything
  • How to find meaning and strength in the aftermath
  • If you’re in the middle of a storm right now—or still feeling the fallout from one—this is a reminder that you are stronger than you know.

Your story matters, so live it courageously!

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.
