Liz Eichholz is the co-founder and Creative Director of luxury bath and lifestyle brand Weezie. Weezie launched in October 2018 and experienced immediate success nationwide, selling nearly 15,000 towels to customers in all 50 states within 3 months of launch. Coveted by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, and featured on the TODAY Show, Good Morning America and more, the brand has experienced explosive growth: selling over half a million products to 125,000+ customers nationwide and employing a team of over 50. And yes, while these numbers are impressive, what I love most is that they have paid attention to the small details (attached tie, no shawl collar & sleeves that roll & button!!!)...they have considered every scenario because they are their customer!

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.
