In this episode, Aisha talks with Mary Kate about gaining perspective, appreciating our family’s sacrifices, and navigating changing relationships with our parents with grace.

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.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
