What if your calendar could predict your mental health?

Meet Chris Dancy – once dubbed “The World’s Most Connected Human” – who didn’t just track his steps and calories. He tracked his soul. From mood mapping and ambient data to organizing his apps by values instead of function, Chris built a system to actually understand himself.

But here’s the twist: it’s not about more data. It’s about better data.

🧠 He mapped every app to Maslow’s hierarchy.
💡 He hacked his phone to create “cyber mindfulness.”
📉 He even engineered synchronicities by journaling meaningful coincidences.

And no, it’s not a Silicon Valley stunt. It's spiritual, emotional, and deeply human.

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.
