Wisdom Nuggets:
Stop Worshipping the Calendar: Waiting for a date like January 1st to take action is an excuse disguised as a plan. Start now or risk staying stuck.
Audit, Don’t Assume: You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Look at your current goals and get honest about where you're winning and where you're behind.
Purpose Over Panic: Finishing the year strong isn’t about panic hustling—it’s about creating meaningful outcomes like peace, cash flow, and confidence.
Talk Like a Team: If you’re in a relationship, your success plan shouldn’t be a solo mission. Discuss your shared goals and stay aligned.
Survive or Thrive: If you’re constantly reacting and living bill-to-bill, you’re not really living. Set direction and move with intention.

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.
