In this episode, we talk with philanthropist Jonathan Jacobs. Jonathan (JJ) is the Founder and Executive Director of Rawkstars, a nonprofit that teaches life skills through music. Tune in to hear how JJ is making the world a better place by sharing his passion for music with others.

Jonathan Jacobs (JJ) says, "The Greater Good through social impact programming, entrepreneurship, philanthropy and volunteerism is my life’s work. Combining the skills and education I’ve accumulated through careers in music, technology, business, creative production, consulting and nonprofit leadership, Rawkstars is a reflection of my own life story. My approach never appeared in a five-year plan, corporate presentation or taught to me in books. It arrived authentically out of necessity, hard work and desire. Through my own lived experience."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
