Michael Franzese reveals the untold secrets of the mob and how he turned a life of crime into a powerful story of redemption and success.
In this episode of the Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner, Michael shares how he went from feared mob boss to respected entrepreneur and motivational speaker. As the son of a notorious crime figure, he was drawn into organized crime, mastering negotiation, loyalty, and strategy to survive. After prison changed his life, he embraced spirituality and found a new purpose using the hard-earned lessons from his past to build a successful business and inspire others. Today, Michael continues to make an impact through speaking, mentorship, and his own wine brand.
