The Inspiring Story of Former Hells Angel President Mel Chancey : Start Today Podcast Episode #57

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.

It helps me to let go and especially in a current situation where a close family I have know all my life are refusing to help me when they are able to make a huge difference to their lifes but greed from an Uncle stops them.

    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.

    Lildaryl I am not disagreeing with you, but do you think that this could really be implied based off of a simple comment? 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

    I dunno, not too sure I agree with all these comments. I'm about 2/3 way through this interview but thus far the host has been respectful and listens well. He does interject here and there with some comments and some information to not only keep it relevant to his channel, but also to ask some questions that slow down the conversation and ask for clarification for those who don't know either the terms or references. Without that, in my opinion, this interview isn't an interview. It's someone talking forever without an outsider's probe for context, it doesn't allow for an understanding of the story. Maybe the change of subjects causes a bit of a disruption to the overall life story, but think of newscasters or radio hosts, they have to do the same thing to keep things within a timeline. Host is trying to get the gist of the various aspects of the sub-stories without spending too much time on one lead. It's in our favour, to hear as much as possible about as many aspects within a certain amount of time. I mean, come on, this is 2 hours long. If host didn't direct and lead the conversation and topics, this thing could be 12 hours long - it's Mel's life we're talking about, there's really no limit to the storytelling unless you lived his life yourself. Chris - I think you've done a nice job. You've got to share your character and specific intent on your own dang channel in order for it to succeed - which is exactly what you are doing. Also. Mel is super well spoken and is considerate of the fact he is in an interview - I totally see mutual respect with this one and it has worked out nicely. For honesty sake, I could bite my tongue by the time I am finished at 2 hours, but I felt so strongly I had to comment now. We shall see :P

    Chris Cavallini probably why you have so many negative comments. You’re not the star and you’re really not important. Humble yourself

    You have Mel on for a reason, to listen to him speak, you should not interrupt him. We are here to listen to his story, if you want to share yours go ahead and do a show on yourself.

    I know I am in minority here, but Chris did a wonderful job conducting this interview. He didn't want a session where he talks random stuff with Chel and just goes with the cliches associated with such gangs. He actually had a vision about what he wanted to highlight from this story, which obviously can be seen from multiple points of view. His chemistry with Chel is amazing and proves they have mutual respect. That means something. You can also see Chel picking up his cues and filtering out whatever isn't necessary.

    3 minutes in- I already don't want to listen to the host anymore. I am not going to get into it but 100% supportive of him handling the abusive dude. I don't know anything about Mr Chancey but that alone is someone I would have the back of no doubt. You cannot go around harming women, kids elderly. Period.

    More like every time he called clubs a gang.... They don't mind being called outlaws as they fully accept that word and encompass that's what they are. The "gang" comment is what's not appreciated he should be using the word "club"

    Also the Hells Angels back in the 60s and 70s were just naturally big and intimidating, they didn’t need all this weight lifting and steroids. The hells Angels of today almost seem as though they are pretending where as the Angels from the 60s and 70s were just naturally being themselves, wild, crazy and carefree. Today it’s almost like, look at me I got tattoos and muscles !
