My name is Gianni Russo, aka Carlo, the infamous son-in-law from the godfather.

I'm now known as the Hollywood Godfather, and this is my story.

Walking with a limp like will I ever run?

Once again, or is this it?

Am I for ever done?

Living in the hospital was never fun some people were cool

but not everyone good afternoon everybody or good night wherever you are uh this is pat from the

hollywood godfather podcast uh Gianni is uh unavoidably detained and we do have guest, so we decided to kick off the show without

him. He may be joining us mid-show. And if that happens, of course, you know, you will know about it.

So we have a special guest. Now, we have two special guests today. Adrian Martinez of the

Invest in Yourself podcast. We've had him on the show before.

A veritable font of knowledge.

He knows the subject.

And today he's bringing with him a friend of his and they're going into business together,

but we'll get into that a little later.

Salvatore Polici, who I had the pleasure of

reading his book, The Sinatra Club, about three years ago, this is a coincidence. And I tell you,

I really enjoy it. Coming from a writer's perspective, I mean, I've published 12 books. I'm very picky

when it comes to books.

You're always looking for mistakes and, uh, it really is, you know, you can't enjoy reading anymore once you start to write.

You're always looking for something that sometimes isn't there, but most of the time is.

But I was, uh, I was impressed with, with Sal, uh, for his, uh, his honesty, his humor. And humor, and the way he wrote the story.
