Raffaele Ruggiero grew up in the Bronx with an upbringing that shaped his discipline and drive. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, he found his passion for motorcycles and the brotherhood that came with it. That passion eventually led him to becoming the President of a Least of Saints Motorcycle Club chapter. In this episode, Raffaele shares his journey from military service to the motorcycle world — the discipline, the loyalty, the challenges, and what it really takes to lead.
