The Grounded Futures Show, Episode 25: Remaining Unbroken, with chris time steele
“I've always been a rapper, since I was 12. So that's what I do. And it's the way I communicate best and most vulnerable.”
In their last episode of the season, Uli and carla share a wonderful talk-about with the always inspiring chris time steele!

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.
