Episode 12, we're sitting down with one of the Lake of the Ozarks' most fascinating people, Shaun "Dutch" McAlpin. Before becoming the owner of Hollow Cove Barbershop, Shaun spent more than 20 years working undercover at the highest levels of federal law enforcement, infiltrating motorcycle gangs, organized crime, human trafficking rings, violent extremists, and some of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the country.

In this episode, Shaun pulls back the curtain on a life very few people have ever experienced. He shares unbelievable stories from his years undercover, how he earned the nickname "Dutch," what it was really like living under multiple identities, and the challenges of balancing family life while living a covert life. From million-dollar investigations and undercover operations to the hilarious story of nearly blowing an operation because of bad pizza, this episode is packed with stories that are as funny as they are unbelievable.

We also dive into Shaun's life after federal service, how he found peace living in California, Puerto Rico, and ultimately Lake of the Ozarks, why he opened Hollow Cove Barbershop, and what makes the lake feel like home. Along the way, we talk about tattoos, motorcycles, travel, Vegas, entrepreneurship, community, and the charity work he's passionate about through Ozark Alliance, helping local kids and families in Climax Springs.
