In this powerful episode of Live Without A Net, we’re joined by George Martorano, a man who knows what it means to truly live without a net. George spent 32 years in prison for a non-violent crime—a life sentence that saw him locked away in one of the most notorious systems in America. Today, he’s out, he's free, and he’s reinventing himself.

Join me as we sit down at Martorano's Prime Restaurant in Philadelphia, where George opens up about his harrowing time behind bars, the lessons he learned, and the mobster stories that come with his past. We’ll dive into what it was like to endure decades of incarceration, how it changed him, and how he’s now using that experience to build a thriving marijuana brand, create films, and share his story with the world.

This is a conversation about resilience, redemption, and what it really means to live without a safety net when the world has stripped everything away. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one.
