What happens when a quiet farm kid ends up inside one of the wildest underground economies in America?
In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean Kelly sits down with Ken Behr, author of One Step Over the Line, to unpack a life story that sounds almost impossible.
Ken grew up in a normal family, moved to South Florida as a teenager, and found himself in the middle of a fast-changing world where money, risk, and bad decisions moved quickly. What started small eventually turned into a much bigger operation, dangerous choices, federal attention, and a life-changing moment where everything came crashing down.
Ken breaks down how the underground market changed before organized crime became what people know today, why prohibition-style policies often create bigger problems, what it felt like facing serious prison time, and how he eventually became involved with federal investigations.
This conversation is part crime story, part cautionary tale, and part deeper look at how young men can get pulled into systems they do not fully understand until it is too late.
