The Godfather, often cited as one of the greatest films (and novels) ever created, celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year. And despite its vintage, like a fine wine, The Godfather only seems to get better with age.
The continuing influence of the trilogy can be seen not only in other classics it spawned, such as The Sopranos, but in more recent popular culture. Try streaming an episode of “Billions,” for example, without hearing a subtle or not-so-subtle reference to The Godfather.
Fortunately, you don’t have to become as cut throat as the characters on Billions or Succession to take some business lessons from The Godfather. You can extract the wisdom from the films, as well as the centuries old “Mafia Code,” and no one has to sleep with the fishes.
What can we borrow from the Corleone’s and what was originally known as “The Honored Society?” That's what we'll be exploring in this podcast series.
