Since Gaj Ravichandra was a child, he has been fascinated by those who achieve greatness. He discovered through experience that mindset more than background or circumstance was one of the biggest determinants of personal and professional fulfilment for many people.

In doing so, he learnt that helping people was his calling and that he could leave a trail of happiness behind him in everything he does. Gaj is a highly sought-after performance coach recognised for his effective leadership training techniques and passion for helping clients reach higher potential.

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.
