Messages of hope and resilience aren't always easy to find but if you look, you can find them. In this replay of a popular show from last summer, our guests are bestselling authors Ramona Baxter and M. Kay Bush. They talked with Rebecca about their passion of bringing empowerment to others who need a turning point. They believe that tools like courage, belief mindset, skills of perseverance, and resilience make all the difference as we each learn to step into our own lives. They shared about their book writing process and the highs and lows of launching a bestseller.

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.
