  • In Episode 57, Chris sits down with his great friend, former president of the Hells Angels, Mel Chancey.
    They discuss Mel’s incredible, inspiring journey from being one of the most feared, ruthless, violent criminals and boss of the notorious motorcycle club, the Hells Angels; to transforming his life, dedicating it to serving others and starting numerous successful ventures that have made Mel one of the most respected, influential, well liked public figures in the fitness industry today!
    Mel shares gory details about the life of a 1%’r, the lifestyle he lived, adversity he faced and discusses being on the front lines of the infamous 6 year territory war between the Hells Angels and the Outlaws, which was one of the most deadly gang wars of our time.
    You’ll definitely want to listen to this more than once, as it will be one of the most impactful, motivational, epic stories of redemption you’ll ever hear!

      This is not interview, this is a conversation. Stiff, strict interviews don't let you learn to know a person as well as a conversation does. If you expose your guest to your thoughts, opinions, anegdotes, you get to see how they process new information, how they interract with a person, you make them reveal their curiosity, and most importantly: you build understanding and trust that makes any person more willing to open up.

In my opinion, it does not show a “lack” of patience necessarily based off of the interviewer interrupting the guest, because he came here to primarily listen to the guest talk, and not be listening to the guest be Interrupted by the host to an extent where it makes it hard for the viewer to really absorb any information due to it then becoming more of a mindless conversation. I am not disagreeing, I just am curious on how you implied such a strong message from a comment in which goes along with the common theme of any sort of information compared to his opinion that the host was “overpowering” the guest

      These guys are for the most part normal people. Case in point. My best friend. We've been best friends since we were 7. His father coached our soccer team and had a job in the plants and became a big name in the refinery. He was also El Presidente of the Bandidos. Top top top dog. Super nice. Did not drink or do drugs. Funny. Family man. I know atleast 5 Bandidos. One who I met once was such a cool guy who had the sickest Harley with a pipe that had the fiberglass wrap and a hand shifter, he was hit by a illegal drunk driver and fled and he died. The other guys I know are normal people. They were just attracted to the club. You don't have to do bad things to be in a club. There are bad people who join and do bad things. Included in that is media. The MSM lied about Waco. Straight up. Almost all BS. Anyway, what I'm saying is. . . 90% of the club are law abiding citizens. 10% do bad things. The brass sometimes look the other way. But they are no different than the FBI or CIA. Look what the FBI tried to do to Trump. They admitted lying on FISA in order to look into Dossier info which they quickly found out was 100% fabricated and lied repeatedly which hurt the whole country. The 1% clubs really hurt themselves. They don't love being in the spotlight like the FBI. The ones dealing should be arrested and pay. The FBI had 8 agents undercover in the Gov Whitmer case. Which basically wouldn't have happened had it not been for them planning it. Then the insurrection...foia releases show they had a major hand in that. So everyone has corrupt parts of their clubs and agencies. Anyway. If we have a civil war and the Bandidos and FBI come asking to be on my side....I'm picking the Bandidos or Hells Angels or any of them over the FBI

One I met twice but the other I've known since Ii was 7 and he was my soccer coach and still my best friends dad and he is very smart and didn't drink or do drugs.

    I'll never forget as a 40 yr old man, my dad was physically abusive towards us kids (had a sister also). My aunt was very connected with a biker group which will remain nameless. My dad & mom were on drugs, one time he went to far, smacked her, & she got wind of it. I'll never forget sitting playing with the packs of the little green plastic army men I hear commotion look up & 4 giant bikers come walk past me grip my dad up under his armpits dragging him outside the house. Hooked him up to a car battery & started electrocutuhg him. "You gonna touch your wife or kids again" "Can't hear you what?" Only time I seen him cry my entire life. Made him apologize to us, he then left us the next day or 2. Probably the best thing that happened to us. Mom got off welfare got clean & went back to college. Today she's a director in a top rated hospital. One biker looked down at me smiling & said "Don't worry son, he's not going to touch you or your mom anymore". I wasn't used to adults being honest with me. So to many people they may seem like outlaws or bad people, but to me as a 9 year old boy they were my heroes. The abuse certainly would of continued. They saved me & my sister alot of pain & heartache we would of suffered over the years. Just my opinion & story. I never forgot what those men did for me. And I never, ever touched a woman or my kids in that way. The cycle ended.
