John "Red" Shea shares how notorious Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger recruited him into the Irish mob. Initially, Shea navigated the dangerous world of Boston's narcotics trade as a lone wolf.

He explains that his unconventional approach attracted the mob's attention, ultimately leading to an enticing offer from Bulger's crew.
Shea was first approached by Mickey, a top lieutenant in Bulger's operation.
