Let's talk about the elephant in the room: inheritance guilt.

You know the feeling. You just inherited millions, but instead of feeling excited or grateful, you're drowning in guilt. 

Maybe it's because you're still here while your loved one isn't. 

Maybe it's the weight of unearned privilege keeping you up at night. 

In this episode, I'm getting real about why so many inheritors struggle with these feelings and why it's so hard to talk about them with anyone - even therapists (yeah, I've got stories about that). 

As someone who's been there myself, I'm sharing my perspective on why this guilt shows up and what you can do about it. 

No sugar-coating, no BS - just honest talk about one of the most challenging, emotional aspects of inherited wealth that nobody prepared us for.

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.
