In ‘The Mountaintop’, he talks about everything from, feeling completely worthless, to finding his purpose and the success that came along the way… In ‘The Things I Wish I’d Known’, he gives us advice about overcoming setbacks and why the bad days are the days that really matter.

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.
