25 Business Lessons from Mobsters & The Mafia

I like this guy and his channel, if you haven't checked it out I recommend you do because he had in-depth interviews with Joe Pistone, Michael Franzese, Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. This guy thinks out of the box and asks different questions than other interviews with these guys..

Thanks for posting. I agree he does a great job in his interviews and you can tell he is genuinely interested in whatever subject is being discussed. Love to see him interview Mikey Scars or other mob guys who are out of the life. Even FBI guys like Bruce Mouw or Lin Devecchio would be good interviews.

I didn't realize that his videos are mainly business oriented. I just figured he interviewed whoever he found interesting.

Mixing the business world with the mafia is dangerous. I'd hate to see the mafia become corrupted by Wall Street.

You're very welcome MG and yes an interview with Mikey Scars would be awesome, because I'd be sure he'd ask questions journalists like Trevor McDonald haven't. And this is not criticism of Sir Trevor in any way, shape or form, it's just that David and him have completely different mindsets..

I really like Trevor. "Trevor..This is the life!" I got the tattoo recently

LOL!! Are you serious Ralphie??

I have to admit that I got goose bumps when I first heard Mikey Scars say this in the documentary. I also had it as my profile signature for a long time..

''Trevor, this is the Life!! This is the Life we chose, this is the Life he chose, THE PATH..
Your life is not your own, you're property of this entity, this Cosa Nostra, that goes back hundreds of years..''

You got the quote of a snitch tattooed on your body?

You really need to get a sense of humor

Snitch or not, serious or not, the quote was very powerful regardless.. Especially because it was an answer to a question about the meaning of the death of his brother..

It's like drinking a very DRY wine....Hurts the throat.

I agree Billy, in it's context it was as sobering as you can get. how serious cosa nostra is and can be if you are a true believer

Yes, and that's why Mikey Scars is actually a very tragic figure. He was brutally honest in that interview when he says that his conscience is bothering him because he has hurt so many guys on the street that he respected and even loved. He sleeps 3 hours at night max. because he can't look himself in the mirror basically, he feels such a failure in that he was a third generation wiseguy and becoming a rat really fucks with his sense of honor, dignity and self-worth.. I
I bet he has regretted his cooperation many of times.. His whole identity was shattered and that's pretty traumatic for anyone..

Watching the shows and reading his testimony objectively i come to the same conclusion as you Billy
