Meet Phillip Hanks, a walking miracle!
Philip had his first liver transplant in 2007 and lived an active life. Then in 2019, extreme pain sent him back to the hospital where he received horrifying news. Not only did he need a new liver, but he needed a new stomach, intestines, pancreas, and kidney. Two different transplant centers turned him away before Indiana University accepted his case and agreed to try the risky surgery which basically involved removing all of his organs and replacing them with donor organs.
Phillip not only survived but is thriving after a 5-organ transplant during the pandemic. Join Laurie and Philip for a riveting story about hope, faith, perseverance, and what it means to never give up.
Philip is open to connecting to anyone who needs a shot of inspiration and can be reached at Phillipohanks@gmail.com

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.
