"I am not what happens to me, I am not who people say I am, I am not what I am afraid of"
Today we've got the CEO of the Impact Society on the show, Mr. Chris Primeau!
We get into so much.
How he found his passion of helping build the mental well being and resilience of young people (AKA what the Impact Society is all about).
How he built a positive, false identity growing up in Toronto. And what happened when he moved and was no longer able to lean on this false identity.
How we build resilience (it starts with knowing who the heck we are).
What it means to be a "hero".
And the power Chris found in investing himself in something bigger than himself.
Enjoy!

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.
