1) Frank Ferrante - A Life of Contrast: How to Differ Strikingly
Frank Ferrante -I was born on August 26, 1951. According to my astrological chart, “peace and harmony are my battle cry.” (Talk about a perfect set-up for contradictions.) Apparently I am also “flashy but not gaudy and prefer to dress elegantly.” Obviously, my sartorial preferences reflect my greater spiritual depth.I have been, in no particular order, a NY City cab driver, scrap metal hauler, dishwasher, census taker, mail boy, ditch digger, bouncer, illegal narcotics distributor, general contractor, actor, and radio announcer, and carpenter. I am also an avid reader, seeker of God, weight gain/weight loss afficionado, ex-pot smoker, alcoholic, junkie, speed freak, raw foodist, vegan, lover, hater, father, husband, grad student, good guy, bad guy, social activist.Late in life, I finished my education and got an MA in humanities to sate a lifelong fascination in the subject. I’m particularly intrigued by the migration of cultures, peoples, and souls.As the subject of the documentary “May I Be Frank?,” I have become a spokesperson for personal transformation and weight loss. My experience dealing with these struggles from a holistic perspective compels me to speak about the power of transformation that rests in all of us. I am not an expert nor do I have the answer. I have witnessed the indisputable fact that we are all connected. What we do can and will make a difference. I have learned that the three most important things a man can say are: I don’t know. Would you please help me? I love you.
