Angel investor, author, TEDx speaker, and SEC advisor Marcia Dawood joins me to pull back the curtain on what angel investing really is—and why you don’t need to be a millionaire or a finance expert to get started. She shares what most founders get wrong in their pitch, how to evaluate a startup beyond the hype, and why obsessing over the problem is more important than selling the solution. Whether you’re a founder raising capital or someone curious about investing in early-stage companies, this episode is packed with unfiltered insights you don’t want to miss. --- Episode Resources Marcia’s Podcast: The Angel Next Door (https://www.marciadawood.com/angelnextdoor) Marcia’s Book: Do Good While Doing Well (https://www.marciadawood.com/dogood) “Venture Deals” by Brad Feld & Jason Mendelson: (https://a.co/d/eZTwdZy)

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.
