We sit down with Superhero Jay Dobyns (who ironically is also married to a Superhero!). Jay went deep undercover as a US Federal Agent with the Hells Angels and went on to become one of the most successful undercover agents in US law enforcement history. He is the author of two outstanding best-selling books, "No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels" and "Catching Hell: A True Story of Abandonment and Betrayal".
We talk to Jay about his career as a Federal Agent which included:
- Starting work on a Monday and getting shot and nearly killed on a Thursday.
- Life as an undercover agent and the toll it took on his mental well being and his family.
- Going into a Hells Angels clubhouse while wearing a wire (including asking Jay, "What would happen if you were caught?")
- Jay's exit from the undercover world and eventually from the US government. Sadly, it was not a fairy tale ending.
A "Superhero" is defined as a person who typically possesses superpowers or abilities beyond those of ordinary people and uses those powers to make the world a better place. After listening to this interview, I think there is no doubt that Jay Dobyns is a Superhero.
