    @@southphillylilly Ironic thing is you’re bullshitting yourself and others with this comment. The particular city has nothing to do with how you’re going to turn out. These qualities come from parents and from within. There are a ton of garbage people from Philly and everyone knows it. Just like there are a ton of shit people in every city.

    Sorry all, I forgot the part that when they got to the hospital they didn’t have a trauma unit so they transported me to a different hospital that did. How dare I forget an important piece of information that happened 13+ years ago. Crazy that that’s what some people pulled out of this whole hour plus interview. Bless you all!

    Yeah that's crazy. As soon as I heard you say getting blood I automatically went to "rushed to Episcopal by car, transported by Ambulance to Temple or Penn" Don't sweat those bullshit comments. Your story was great to hear and it came from a humble place not trying to glorify or play up anything. Respect for the changes you made. People who don't live in Philly don't know what the crime is like here. Your situation could have happened to many of us. Much respect for taken responsibility and not trying to put it on anyone else. That's not what you see on many of these stories. Congrats on starting a business and hustling to make something legit. God bless 🙏

    Awesome interview. I’ve worked corrections as a nurse and have heard so many stories. But I laughed when he said that a human brain doesn’t fully develop or “mature” until the age of 25 because it dawned on me that I was 25 when I left a toxic marriage. So I just had one of those light bulb turns on “ahhh” makes sense moments. 😂

    Hi Ian, Love your interviews! 👏👏👏Another Great one. Always sharing and looking to educate the next one. You can definitely really pick the ones that regret and give Thanks for the 2nd chances and opportunities. Thank You Frank for sharing and Congrats to You for changing your life around. What really bothered me is we're ALL human and w/ that comes mistakes (some harsher than others). What bothered me is that he couldn't evn get an R&B. Ridiculous! Frank paid his DEBT and has a company w/ 15 employees (which says a lot) As well as a Family that stands w/ him. Give credit where credit is due. This Country needs to change and for the better. Thank You Ian for ALL the hard work and time you put in to try and hopefully make a change and to Frank for having the courage and strength to admit your wrong doings so others don't follow in that direction. Much Respect to Both You Men 💯

I think I read somewhere that plea deal acceptance rates pretty much triple once a person has been in the county/city jail for 12 months or more.

    I was almost in the same scenario. Got in a fight leaving the bar one night and football kicked someone's head. It was bad enough ot instantly sobered me up and i thought I was done for. Luckily dude never pressed charges and instead just asked for a straight fade the next weekend so we ran that and then had a cookout😂wild times

    30 feet ahead, hardly even turned around, shot and it actually hit?!? That's one lucky shot or the guy had some next level skill with a handgun! Pistols aren't very accurate especially at that distance, add in adrenaline, a moving target and what sounds like not even aiming, that was likely just luck at that point... Sorry to start my comment with something so negative, that part of your story just surprised me. Glad you survived and doing great today!
