When your roof leaks, a pipe bursts, or a tree crashes through your house, your first instinct is to call your insurance company. But one wrong word in that conversation can mean the difference between getting fully covered or getting nothing at all. Most homeowners don’t realize how much hinges on the language they use...until their claim is denied.

In this episode, Mikki sits down with Nicolle Bochenski of Precision Public Adjusting to expose how often claims are unfairly denied, and what you can do about it. From roof damage to total home losses, Nicolle breaks down the red flags, policy loopholes, and rights most homeowners don’t know they have.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The one word that can tank your entire insurance claim
  • Why insurers push you toward hotels instead of Airbnbs, and how to push back
  • What your policy probably covers (but no one tells you): building code upgrades, temporary housing, even custom cabinetry
  • How a claim for 26 shingles turned into a $1.4 million payout
  • The difference between “fixing it” and “making it right”, and why that matters

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.
