The David Morrell Show

In this episode, we are talking with someone who has been called the highest-earning mob boss since Al Capone, and who made a fortune as a 'made' man in the Colombo Crime Family. Meet Michael Franzese, born in 1951 in the Green Point section of Brooklyn, later moved to Long Island, New York. After finishing high school, Franzese entered a pre-med program at Hofstra University in 1969; his father initially did not want him to be involved in organized crime. However, in 1971, Franzese decided to drop out of college to help his family earn money when his father was sentenced to 50 years in prison for bank robbery in 1967. Michael has been featured in numerous books and shows such as the Netflix series "Fear City" as well as "Inside the American Mob," a National Geographic documentary.

Michael opens up about the discipline he learned working as a member of a high-class mob family and how the rank structure of such families ingrained values in a person. All this helped him climb up the mob ranks and became a caporegime of a crew of 300.

Michael had learned many valuable lessons throughout his life, which he shares with us today through this podcast. We're going to dive deep into his personal and professional experience to learn about his lessons in life, his stories, and valuable information that will help you grow and scale your business. We'll look at how these life lessons in a high crime mafia family lead to success in business.

We're back, and today we are talking with Mr. Billy Gene, CEO & Founder of Billy Gene Marketing Inc.

In this episode, we listen to Billy's story of how he began his career.

"We help Entrepreneurs turn clicks on social media in customers," introducing the digital marketing genius Mr. Billy Gene, CEO & Founder of Billy Gene Marketing Inc. He has more than 700M views on his personal social media ads. He has been featured by some leading publishing brands such as Forbes, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur.com.

In this podcast, Billy shares some of the incredibly useful tips for business owners and entrepreneurs looking to start their advertisement campaigns with social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. He shares his journey and the ups & downs he had gone through to turn his company into a successful marketing enterprise.

Billy was born in San Diego, California, and messed with many startup ideas from the initial days of his graduation from high school. All the startups he started had a phase in which he couldn't figure out how to grab potential customers' attention. Universities with entrepreneurship courses weren't teaching how to market your product, the practical advice of telling people to buy your product. He shares about how he added a personal Key Performing Indicator to decide how many people he reached by asking himself, "How many people did you asked to buy your product today, yesterday, previous week, previous month, and so forth."

He also touches on points of his first journey, the hustle he did to reach out to potential clients to sell his service by sharing his screen video.

Billy emphasizes the need for creativity in ads and 3 E's concept, which he defines for better targeting and retaining customers.

Concept of 3E's,

1. Entertain
2. Educate
3. Execute

"You can't call yourself a street artist and stay in your studio, put bodies of work together and then have a gallery show you actually, you have to be out there. You have to be on the street. You have to kind of do large scale murals, you know, whenever you can. Otherwise, you know, it's just a facade." Nick Walker
