Apollo's insights into thievery and mentalism are incredibly eye-opening. This episode is both fascinating and educational, especially as it relates to situational awareness.

Plenty of humor and funny stories mixed in, which are an interesting contrast to Apollo's early life with dark periods.

His personal journey also illustrates the extremely different paths a person can take and how it's impossible for anyone to predict exactly how their life will turn out.

Highly recommend looking up Apollo's TED Talk on YouTube as well.
