I Was A Neo-Nazi. My Son Saved Me From The Hate.

On today's episode, Sarah sits down with Mickey Callahan, a man whose youth was poisoned by a white power ideology instilled by his own brother. This path of anger and prejudice led to a tragic night on the banks of the Cuyahoga River—a night that ended in a fatal car crash for which Mickey feels directly responsible. The immense guilt sent him spiraling further into the darkness, chasing the hate with drugs until he hit the absolute bottom. But this isn't just a story about falling; it's a story about getting back up. Mickey shares his harrowing journey from a near-fatal overdose to finding an unlikely source of grace in a Black coworker who showed him simple, human dignity. Now a single father, Mickey's entire world revolves around his young son, Liam, and his fierce determination to break the cycle of hate he was born into. It's a raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful story about the power of a second chance and how love can dismantle a lifetime of prejudice.
