This week, I step back and break down the hard lessons I’ve learned watching Marines, influencers, and the world spiral over the past week and a half. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to yet another Marine dragged through social media, this episode isn’t about adding to the noise — it’s about accountability, empathy, and shutting your mouth when it’s time to listen.
I cover:
Why you can’t keep giving people the power to take away what you value
How fake friends are worse than enemies
Why some military influencers don’t actually care about Marines
How to balance speaking up vs. staying silent
The need for compassion, even when we disagree
If you wear the uniform, if you’re a father, if you’ve ever felt like the world was waiting for you to slip — this one’s for you.

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.
