#460 Today's Boondoggle -Sticking to the Winners with Marine Veteran Johnny Velcro**From Irish Mob to Boston Fire to Recovery 🔥🎙️**From South Boston's Mean Streets to Sobriety — Johnny "Velcro" Steiner's Wild Ride! Bill sits down with Marine Corps Veteran and retired Boston Firefighter Johnny "Velcro" Steiner for one of the most jaw-dropping episodes yet! Growing up next to Whitey Bulger's turf, surviving the chaos of 1960s South Boston, and living in the neighborhood with the highest Vietnam casualties per capita — Johnny's early life reads like a crime novel! He survived jungle training aboard a pirate ship with the USMC, battled throat cancer from Camp Lejeune's contaminated water, and rose to become a Boston firefighter — only to have it all ripped away in an arsonist's fire on Christmas Eve. Add in Irish Mob gang wars, two lost marriages, a detour through acting school in L.A., and a brutal war with alcohol and drugs, and you've got a story that's as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. But the comeback? Absolutely incredible. This one hits hard.
