In this episode, I sit down with my great friend, Jerry Chen, to discuss his life experiences being independent on his own as his family was forced back to Taiwan and living as a foster child. He had to learn to be independent really early in life and navigate different cultural experiences as well. Jerry also opens up about “people pleasing” and how he is working to overcome that. This episode will also feature a lot more knowledge from Randy on the power of “why” and his dedication to the goals ahead of him.

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.
