He reflects on his upbringing and what initially drew him to the lifestyle—the camaraderie, thrill, and sense of belonging it provided. As he delves deeper into his story, he candidly discusses the negative impacts this life had on his personal relationships, particularly with his children, and how public perception often painted him as a villain. He recounts his encounters with the law, including a harrowing experience facing a possible murder charge, and how these events ultimately shaped his path to leaving the club behind. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of loyalty, identity, and redemption within a tumultuous subculture.
