Heavyweight: The Bank Robber

BEN HAMM
About this episode

We're excited to share an episode from another podcast I think you'll enjoy.

Heavyweight, hosted by Jonathan Goldstein, creates space for difficult conversations and resolving long-standing regrets and unanswered questions. Balancing humor and empathy, Jonathan helps his subjects pinpoint the moment things went wrong and joins them on a quest to make them right. In this episode: A young man had just turned 14 when he took his father's shotgun, skipped school, and robbed a bank for $40,000. Now, 33 years later, he wants to apologize to the people he harmed that day.
