I hear him speaking to people's intelligence. He doesn't disrespect his audience. ALSO, he allows people to consider the horrific aspects of a truly criminal lifestyle. Rather than romanticizing the life, which seduces people into the lifestyle, he allows people to see the devastation the lifestyle can/will/MUST bring so that listeners will stay away or work to get away and lead a happier, healthier, and fulfilling life both for themselves and for posterity.

But your videos of simply relaying what you've seen, experienced and felt are more gripping than anything Wellman, Scorsese or Coppola ever put on the screen. Your recollections deliver an unforgettable lesson about the veneer of glamor over evil, beneath which is inevitable destruction of the self and everything around you. Seriously, it's like Macbeth.

Hi Michael! I am Richa...a young post grad in engineering from India. Well I saw your interview on Valuetainment and you cannot know how much I am awestruck by your personality. I mean your decisions, wit, intellect and strategy was so very right even in a wrong business that today these qualities of yours made you a person to whom youth all over the world look up to. Obviously it happened right after your moral promises to yourself. All i have learnt from you is to be hardworking, confident, very much focused and calm down in odd circumstances which is the major quality that I need mastering. All I can say you thank you very much Michael...keep enlightening us. And yeah you are suchhhhhhh a handsome man, you look no less than an actor😄 Regards to you

Hi Michael. I would love to hear your take on “Wild Bill” Cutolo and a long in-depth look at the Colombo war. Also Sammy the Bull started as an Associate in the Colombo family. I would love to hear any stories if you knew him around that time

Always good when a Man can look at his life and see the negatives and make AMENDS for it! No matter if in your situation or in any other situation. Respect to all who have, life is hard and sometimes people do not make the correct choices. Choices choices choices TY Michael

Michael, greetings from Glasgow in Scotland ❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥃🥃 I am loving your podcasts. Best on You Tube by a MILE 👍🏻👍🏻 Amazing content. Here’s my question to you - what do you think would have happened to your Dad had he not been set up & framed & continued to work for the family. Do you think he would have went right to the top & been made the boss, do you think jail was always a very real prospect for him or do you think anyone would have double crossed him and he had to go ?? I’m just really intrigued to what you think may have happened with your dad had he stayed out of prison. Again love the podcasts, the stories but more importantly the messages from the stories are so positive it’s infectious. I’m hooked. Stay safe & well my friend 👊🏻👊🏻

I'm rebuilding my life starting from scratch, driving a taxi to build up my music studio . After many great struggles I have found a piece of paradise in a very beautiful tropical part of Australia. You have taught me a lot about how one must handle themselves. It has helped me a lot, it has also helped me see my mistakes of the past and allowed me to learn from them. I am apply what I've learnt to my life with great success. I am most deeply grateful, I also love the way you tell a great story with lots of wisdom :)
