On this episode of No Free Lunch, Ndamukong sits down with former teammate and NFL vet, Israel Idonije. Israel shares his backstory as it relates to money — from being part of an immigrant family in Canada, to delivering papers for his first job, and getting fitted for suits by his former coaches. When it comes to growing wealth and building businesses, Ndamukong and Israel discuss the true “unfair advantage” for athletes: the ability to leverage relationships with high-profile individuals into business and other opportunities. For Israel, this meant using his status to propel him into rooms with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in Chicago. Plus: the importance of cultivating the right team, strategy and partners when investing in brick and mortar businesses.

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.
