Art’s journey from deadly gang life to redemption is a story you won’t believe. We dive into how the Mexican Mafia was born inside prison walls, how Art rose through the ranks as a violent enforcer, and the incredible moment that changed everything: when God found him in the darkest place imaginable. From gang wars to prison cells, from a hitman’s oath to the great commission — this conversation goes deep into loyalty, betrayal, power, transformation, and the life-changing power of faith. If you’ve ever wondered if true change is possible, you need to hear this. #MexicanMafia #MichaelFranzese #redemptionstory Face to Face with a Former Mexican Mafia Hitman 🤝 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 – How the Mexican Mafia Was Born 2:45 – Differences Between Italian and Mexican Mafia 5:30 – Growing Up in Prison vs. the Streets 8:10 – Rules, Loyalty, and the Code of Silence 14:30 – Brotherhood and Belonging in the Mafia 18:14 – How Darkness Flipped the Script 21:01 – Respect, Power, and Street Codes 24:08 – Why Good People Do Bad Things 27:55 – Why Do Good People Do Bad Things? 30:28 – Assigned to Kill a Fellow Member 33:11 – How God Intervened in a Supermax Cell 41:32 – Prison Death Row: Facing Execution 50:48 – The Danger of Staying Silent 57:27 – How Christianity Saved 20,000 Gangsters 1:00:42 – What Happens When Men Stay Silent 1:03:09 – Why Following Jesus Is a "Win-Win" 1:05:14 – Overcoming Betrayal and Doubt 1:08:12 – What 3 Years in Solitary Taught Me 1:13:01 – How to Truly Win in Life 1:16:30 – Facing Your Own Reflection 1:20:15 – Final Message to All Who Are Struggling Backbone Media Group
