The mission driving Luke Mickelson is ‘No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in my Town’

An encounter with a young girl, who had been homeless most of her life, changed the trajectory of Luke’s life. 

Luke’s Charity, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, has now made 300,000 beds for children who previously slept on floors. It’s both remarkable and life changing.

This man is such an awesome human with an incredibly infectious energy and I’m so glad we had the opportunity to talk.

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.
