But, don't bring anything religious with you not even your sword as the handle and blade resemble a crucifix.The friend complied but forgot he had his miraculous medal on his pocket watch chain . After making a circle in the dirt the guy who brought him there suddenly became engulfed in flames and could not leave the circle, he died but his friend wearing his miraculous medal lived . So now guys never forget to wear your miraculous medal.

Great story, Michael. I was raised to always treat everyone with respect from the waiter to the CEO. It pays off so much to build and maintain relationships as you said. Funny story: I was working as a filing clerk for a title insurance company in Greenlawn, Long Island. One day, the CEO was eating lunch and I noticed he was eating Egg Drop soup. Without hesitation, I pointed to his soup and said “Look, it’s liquid cat” (Chinese restaurant joke). He broke down laughing so hard. I ended up getting a nice bonus that year I was there. My point is that we can use all the tools we have, humor, etc to win over people. Humor has helped me tremendously over the years to build relationships and keep things fun. I hope you have a nice weekend. God bless!!

Micheal it's a pleasure to be able to listen to the story you told today. I have watched many of the documentaries about the Mafia and the history of where it started and the men that lived and died along the way. My Mother's parents came from Italy to America around 1905 to escape the poverty and corruption that made life in southern Italy pretty terrible. So they hoped to find a better life in America. Since neither of them spoke any english they relied on the Italian community for work and where to live. My Grandfather was part of the black market chain moving product all around PA.- Ohio-and the No.East States as well as Canada. My Mom's oldest sister was Married to Uncle Albert, who was in the insurance business. But the whispers of his connection to the Mob were just out of sight. Uncle Albert was always gone 2-3 days at time. He never talked about what he did, he would just deflect and change subject. All this made me very interested in the Mob. The true stories and history stuff are very interesting to me. So obviously I have seen your history as a made man how you as a young man made a fortune in the bootleg gas market. Your father Sonny, (nickname) was a long time made man before you. It's been a long time since I watched your story so I might be off on some of the facts and apologize for that. But I remember your scheme for the gas distribution was your idea and not ever done before. It was so profitable that it made your rise to Capo another first. This caused a rift with your Dad. But can't remember the details. I remember at least a couple more productions you have been in telling the stories. I liked you and your stories right from the start. My Father was a great story teller and I have been told I am as well. My stories are like yours in that the stories are tell are all true events of my life. Maybe someday I can share with you. I have posted some on facebook, I call them my "NO SHIT STORIES". People seem to like them enough to ask me to tell one. Lol. So I will tell a story and end it with "NO SHIT". Well Thank you for sharing your stories, kind regards. Daniel Anders.

This was good to listen to, great advice. Maybe 10 years ago at work, new guy started one morning, he'd moved from the USA to the UK the week before, he had the job lined up before he came over. We instantly got on well with eachother, and knowing that he didn't have any friends or family here I'd invite him to join my crew for lunch and drinks after work. He's a great guy, we became friends. The last year with the covid work has been really hard to get, that guy from a decade ago got in contact a couple weeks back and I'm sitting here working for him right now, really nice of him to look me up and give me some work. So I guess the moral of the story is be kind, polite and gracious with people that you meet. You never know what that relationship might bring you in the future. Cheers Michael :)

I worked for Jimmy Pattison at a plant called Pattison Signs here in BC. There was a few pictures hanging around the plant floor where Jimmy had stopped in and got his picture taken with some of the workers. Jimmy wasnt born with a silver spoon. He had very humble beginnings and worked for everything he has.

It’s one thing to be offered, and it’s quite another to be strong enough to accept. I really like the sense of gratitude in your voice, being grateful is so rare. The biggest takeaway for me from your story is to not be intimidated and to accept the blessings that come your way. God Bless... Awesome insight.

I got to say Mr Francis for a man that moved in the shadows for 25 years such a brilliant speaker such a brilliant motivator such a talented businessman , it's a shame that a man like you can't become a president of this country which is in so much of need of somebody with so many abilitys ! God bless thank you!

You don't have to apologise yourself for mentioning Trump since a lot of people do not know his past and how much he helped New York, his employees, family and people in need. A very motivational, positive and fighting person he is just like you. "And the best is yet to come!"
@bara73313 жыл бұрын
He didn't apologise for mentioning Trump. He was telling a story and simply said I don't care wheter you like him or not. In other words get over yourself and went on with the story
