If you’ve ever felt frustrated with restaurant employees, blamed the economy, or wondered why your restaurant's profitability isn’t improving - this episode will challenge you to look in the mirror.

Because it turns out, there’s a high chance you are the problem in your business.

✅ How to identify whether an issue is a people problem or a process problem

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.
