About this episode

Former jewel thief Bryan Sobolewski committed over 20 robberies alongside his father and brother. In this episode of Why Am I, we dig deep into what pushed him to that life…and what brought him back. From his chaotic childhood to finding redemption through comedy and nonprofit work, Bryan shares a brutally honest and surprisingly funny look at guilt, change, and the choices that shape us. We also explore how easy it can be to say “that could never be me”… until life lines up just right.
