I stumbled across a video where you gave an interview with Patrick from valuetaiment. And it was like God himself made me watch that video. Your words went in my mind like no other person could. Not even my own parents. I watched more videos about you and speeches you gave. I changed my life around. I even started reading the Bible. I never thought I would ever read it, but I gave it a try and it helped me becoming a better person. So this is a thank you for being the guidance I needed in my life. Thank you for wisdom and your beautiful videos that you put your heart in, trying to help people all across the globe. May God bless you.

However younger Robert De Niro? That would be amazing in my personal opinion because no matter how one might feel about De Niro and his politics and what not, he really was one of the best actors in the world until the mid 90's.

Thank you again Michael for another story telling video it’s always good to see and hear you.

[@lauraduffy9055]

Michael, what a stunning story. Thank you for sharing it because no one would have ever known. Thank God Ali watched over and protected you. I've had a moment in my life, but not quite like that one! God bless!

[@jeffnahass8373]

Hearing that you wanted to be a doctor that works with kids really shows that your life could have been so different. Obviously, you're a very intelligent person. Great to see that you are sending a positive message. God Bless

[@rammfan234]

What an important lesson to learn, hearing this taught me what being strong really means. The last few years have been so trying for me, and hearing this makes me feel confident that yes, I can make it. Thank you, Mr Franzese, for reminding me that I do have the courage to go on and make a new life.

Whenever you hear on a crime show or an interview with a cop speaking of a high level criminal saying "he could have been anything a CEO, Lawyer, Doctor whatever..". I give you Michael. His advice can be translated to all levels of life and business, and for someone who spent 10 years inside he's incredibly articulate. Check out his coaching stuff, it's worth it

[@mikem3875]

Great video, you have a way of making people look at themselves and ask questions they never would have asked before, thank you.

[@alexandersantana4284]

Right on Michael! You are absolutely Correct. Thanks again for another awesome video. I wish you all the best.

[@mr.soprano2609]

You should go to Martin Scorsese and talk about making a movie together about the life, you are the man Michael thanks for this video

[@bogdvnmnl]

he really should i'd watch the shit out of that movie

[@Matthew075]

Wow, I sat down thought Id listen to a few minutes while im doing some work ... ended up listening to the whole story. Honestly this could have been an hour long and I'd have watched. Fascinating stuff here.

[@bigdc202]

I always found it interesting how Carmine Persico went to war with his own cousin, Vic Orena, over control of the Colombos. Can't wait for you to get into that story.

[@WarrenGdog28]

I want to hear this story as well

[@acorndogs904]

Watching your older videos Truly inspirational Michael I walked away from crime 2 years ago Hard feeling at the start but now my wife is happy and I feel blessed

[@JoanneDP]

I love listening to all your stories. I would have a million and one questions for you. It would be nice if you would do a live. That would be so awesome. Bentley is adorable. ❤️ you are so fascinating. Wishing you all the best. Be safe. ❤️

[@lonestar6445]

As a guy from Scotland. I've always been fascinated by the American Mafia. Love hearing these stories. Cheers Michael keep it up!

[@alanauld3531]

As another guy from Scotland I concur. I sit waiting patiently for the notification to pop up

[@rt-irish2430]

I know Michael avoids glorifying his past or telling war stories to portray himself as a tough guy (unlike others). But I can't help wondering what else he could tell us if it had no legal implications. I'm not saying he would still want to talk about it, but it makes me think. Another deeply engaging video!

[@mrdooman]

He's said the only thing he can't talk about, is who he's murdered. As his plea deal face him immunity from everything else.

[@spencer9093]

@@mrdooman He can not talk about random ass whoopings he gave out/ordered... Which are probably the center of a lot if stories he will never tell.

[@fox2569]

Spencer He’s already talked about a story where he reminded a guy in his crew to stick to his word on kicking somebody’s arse if he sees him in public. Was on the way to a wedding and they stopped for gas. So that was ok to talk about

[@a1bells501]

Tom Settle if he said that then that means he’s admitted to murder. I’ve never seen any video of him admitting it most of the time he just dodges the question.

[@donsavant6170]

A1BELLS he’s dodged it but implied it he goes « I’m not saying I did murder anyone but I mean I was apart of that life for 25 years so.. »

[@nicholasvogt7039]

This is historic information that we may never get again ever i appreciate every video this guy makes 👌

[@charlesharper7292]

Thanks again for a great sit down. How could any of us be angry with your father. He went away for 50 years for something he didn't do. I watched an interview with him the other day on youtube. I hate he spent those years away from his family, and glad he's out now.

[@holymichael289]

Michael, you remind me so much of my father. The way you speak, your look, where you're from, so much reminds me of my pops. He passed away 2 years back. The last time we spoke, we had a huge argument. It wasn't worth it! Tell your parents you love them today, because you might not be able to tomorrow.
