In this episode, I interview Josh Zurawski who opens up about his family dynamics, his childhood, and his personal struggles with mental health. We navigate through his life, dipping into his brother's addiction and loss, which paints a clear picture of the ripple effects that addiction and mental health issues can have on families.

This isn't just a story of addiction and loss; it's also a story of resilience and the power of familial bonds. Through Josh's eyes, we get to experience the process of healing, the importance of mental health awareness, and the struggle of balancing personal responsibilities with his inherent role as the oldest sibling in the family. He discusses his experience with anxiety and panic attacks, his family's grief, and how they came together in the face of adversity, proving that there's strength in vulnerability and unity.

As we close this heartfelt conversation, we touch on the importance of mental health awareness, volunteering, and providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for those dealing with mental health issues. Josh sheds light on the need for open conversations around men's mental health and different coping mechanisms. His experiences and insights offer a stark reminder of the compassion and understanding required when dealing with mental health and addiction. Tune in, listen, and allow Josh's journey to enlighten and inspire you.

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.
