Today, I sit down with James Oliva (β€ͺ@thetlbpod), audio engineer, strange rock frontman, and host of the Totally Legitimate Business podcast, to explore creativity, confidence, and the chaos of carving your own path. πŸŽ™οΈ

From growing up in Nebraska to crafting niche music in Nashville, James shares how being "weird" became his greatest strength. We dive into music as therapy, the rise of AI in creativity, the mystery of synchronicity, and what it really means to break free from the mold.

Are we all antennas for something greater? Can niche become mainstream? And is AI going to free artists or replace them?

Let’s get into it.

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 β€˜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.
