We talk with J about what makes Atlanta special as he tells us about ONE Musicfest, the Southeast’s largest multi-day urban progressive music festival, which has helped shape Atlanta’s rise as a music mecca. We learn how he turned an idea which began with 3,000 attendees into one of the most impactful festivals in the country, now welcoming 100,000 attendees from all over the country and globe. We dive into marketing strategies behind building brand loyalty, launching new ventures and festivals, what venues can learn from the festival world, and explore his personal and professional journey.

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.
