Episode 917: Be Willing with Jay Dobyns

On today's episode, Dennis is joined by retired Special Agent & veteran undercover operative who infiltrated the Hells Angels, Jay Dobyns. A criminal defense attorney once described Jay as: "...a government-trained ‘Predator’ repeatedly sent on seek and destroy missions in search of drugs, guns, and violence with instructions to succeed at any cost without regard for the agent himself or those he crosses paths with.” He achieved worldwide notoriety as one of history's most daring undercover operators during high-octane missions targeting America's violent crime. Jay played the role of a shrewdly-calculating hitman, mob debt collector, and gunrunner to target gang members, anti-government groups, narcotics and weapons traffickers, and organized crime syndicates. He is perhaps best known for his landmark infiltration of the notorious Hells Angels becoming the first-ever lawman to defeat the gang’s multilayered security measures becoming a member of their legendary Skull Valley charter. Jay's book - No Angel, My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels - details that investigation and is a New York Times and international bestseller. His follow-up - Catching Hell, A True Story of Abandonment and Betrayal - is Jay's bestselling memoir. Jay is one of the many amazing key note speakers we have lined up for the 2024 Street Cop Conference in Orlando, FL. Today, Dennis and Jay discuss the history of the Hells Angels, the most impactful cases during his career, details of how he infiltrated the Hells Angels, learning from mistakes in life and how to always be willing to learn and change for the better.
