Learning a new language can be difficult. What makes it even more difficult is the pressure of learning it so that you can connect with your parents more. I sit down with content creator, Emily Nguyen, about her Instagram page @emdaylist where she shares her journey of learning Vietnamese for her parents. Her strong desire to connect to her own culture has brought some obstacles in her journey but has presented great achievements as well. From allowing herself to be vulnerable or inspiring others to take on the same journey. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!

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.
