In this episode you'll hear my conversation with Jay Ashman of KC Barbell in Kansas City, Missouri. Jay is a self admitted reformed white supremacist, and has a powerful personal story about isolation, belief, change, self forgiveness and wanting to give back.

We discussed Jay's upbringing and the factors he feels led to him becoming part of a skinhead gang, its impact on his life, and how he ultimately became disenfranchised to the point where he changed his beliefs and his lifestyle. We finished up the conversation discussing the current political and social injustice climate of the USA, and how Jay intends to use the proceeds from his writings to establish a barbell club for underserved youths in his community.
