About

Welcome! For those who don't know me, I'm Michael. I was a former capo for the Colombo crime family back in the 1980s & best known for being one of the top money earners for the mob since Al Capone. Fortunately, I've been able to walk away from that life and reinvent myself (unlike many of my associates during that time). And for the past 25 years, I’ve traveled around the world speaking at corporate leadership events, churches & prison ministries, and to pro sports teams. I’ve also launched multiple successful businesses and have helped close deals that have brought in millions of dollars. On this channel, I share my experience, advice, and point of view on various topics.

🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ Mob legend Vito Genovese murdered his way from a tenement in Naples to the pinnacle of American organized crime—and then blew it all with one fateful summit in rural New York. From Coney Island hits and fascist alliances to running a transatlantic empire, he rewrote the rules of the underworld. But his bid to crown himself “boss of bosses” at Appellation brought down the first real heat on Cosa Nostra—and set off a chain reaction no one saw coming. His story is a masterclass in ruthless strategy… and the fatal flaw that every powerful man fears. 🤝 Book 1 on 1 Call With Me: https://michaelfranzese.com/book-1-on-1-call/ 🔥 Check out my store: https://store.michaelfranzese.com/ 🎙️ Michael Franzese Podcast on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Eo39qb 0:00 Introduction 1:25 Vito Genovese: The Done Who Tried To Be A King 3:21 Chapter 1 - From Naples To New York 6:16 Chapter 2 - Architect Of Murd*r 9:28 Chapter 3 - Exile And Reinvention 11:39 Chapter 4 - The Power And The Plot 16:21 Chapter 5 - Downfall And Legacy 20:08 Epilogue - The Architect Who Collapsed His Own Empire Backbone Media Group
