This episode is a conversation I had with Mike Wilson of Speak Audibly earlier this year. He is an author, coach, and consultant. With this stacking of skills and accomplishments, you might be tempted to write him off as just another one of the typical gurus trying to make a lot of money quickly.
This would be a mistake.
Mike Wilson is not just trying to make a living. He is a guy who honestly wants to help people, and to make a difference.
He is compelling, both in his backstory and in his telling of it.
He is skillful. In the hour I spoke to to this gentleman, he had me acknowledging painful vulnerabilities that I can not speak of to my own mother, or admit to myself. He wielded his insight like a sword and a band-aid.
His clients probably love him.

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.
