Join Founder and CEO Dr. Craig Reed as he sits down with Dr. Vincent Franklin, college professor and retired Master Gunnery Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps. Together, they take listeners on a thought-provoking journey through culture, identity, and the evolving meaning of what it is to be American.

Drawing from their shared military experience, Dr. Reed and Dr. Franklin explore themes of equality versus assumption, and the tension between earning your way and the expectation of being given something. Through candid reflection and historical insight, they challenge listeners to engage in a deeper conversation about equity, opportunity, and the importance of equal access for all.

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.
