His unique take on leadership is refreshingly human, showing that it’s not just about business—it’s about the people and their “and’s.” Whether he’s reminiscing about writing Emmy-nominated shows, cracking jokes at corporate events, or explaining why ice cream is his life’s passion, John keeps the laughs rolling while dropping profound wisdom on why leaders need to focus on the whole person, not just their job title.
With hilarious anecdotes (who knew you needed a gelato to get to the gelato shop?) and deep insights into how comedy sharpens his ability to see things others miss, John’s message is clear: people are more significant than their job titles. This episode will leave you inspired to embrace your own "and," laugh a little more, and lead with authenticity. Get ready for an engaging conversation packed with humor, heart, and a little bit of crazy!

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.
