Jonathan's brother Anthony, who endured four bone marrow transplants, ultimately lost his battle with cancer. Despite his struggle, Anthony became an enduring symbol of resilience and perseverance, teaching his family and others the meaning of "NEVER GIVE UP." Jonathan now carries forward Anthony's legacy through a lifestyle philosophy he calls "4-ANT" (For Anthony), a daily reminder to live positively, never give up, and honor his brother's memory. Inspired by the relief marijuana brought Anthony in his final years, Jonathan has embraced cannabis as a cornerstone of his well-being and success in his own battle. Today, he owns a marijuana business in Colorado, dedicated to educating the world about the plant's benefits and its potential to improve quality of life. Beyond his entrepreneurial efforts, Jonathan is in the process of launching a nonprofit organization to support families affected by FA. His mission is to provide hope, resources, and encouragement, demonstrating that even in the face of tremendous odds, a positive mindset and determination can make all the difference. Through his work, Jonathan aims to spread the 4-ANT message worldwide: to live a positive lifestyle, never give up, and find hope in the darkest of times.

Episode Notes S5E41 -- Join us as we dive into the mind of the longest-serving, first-time, non-violent offender in the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the time of his release George "Cowboy" Martorano.. He'll be telling us tales from his botched trial to his 32 years of a life sentence served and much much more. In 1984, on the advice of his attorney Robert Simone, Martorano pleaded guilty to 19 counts of drug possession and distribution. Martorano was subsequently advised by both the prosecution and the judge, John Berne Hannum, that this plea could result in a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. The prosecution, however, had only recommended a sentence of from 40 to 54 months. On September 20, 1984, Martorano was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the longest prison term ever imposed on a first-time non-violent offender in American history.

Louis Pichini, a prosecutor with the U.S. Organized Crime Task Force, pressured George Martorano for information on the Philadelphia Mafia. But Martorano has always denied having any detailed knowledge of his father's business dealings. Judge Hannum's excessive sentence was a part of this pressure. Prior to Martorano's sentencing, his trial counsel, Robert Simone, was indicted on tax evasion charges. Again, before sentence was imposed in the Martorano case, Judge Hannum testified as a character witness for Simone. An article appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News criticizing the judge and called his testimony "highly unusual". Martorano stated in subsequent appeals that Judge Hannum should have recused himself from his case prior to imposing sentence. Martorano holds the title of longest-serving, first-time, non-violent offender in federal custody.[1] He claims the sentencing judge gave the unprecedented term to pressure him to inform on his father and other mob bosses.[4] Martorano distinguished himself during his time in federal prison. In addition to being a "model" prisoner, Martorano: prevented the hijacking of an aircraft by prisoners while in transit from Philadelphia to Oklahoma following the loss of his 33rd appeal. This incident has been documented by the FBI and Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) and was called "extraordinary" by D.C.

The channel's name stems from the idea of making a lasting impression on my viewers by documenting the things that I do. Many people aren't so blessed to travel and see the sites of the greater back road Americana and getting into the little nether-regions of the country so by filming all these great things I'm able to allow my viewers to live vicariously through the Journeys I take them on. My main goal aside from YouTube is working to become a voice actor and screen actor as well. On February 9th I will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to portray the legendary Ed Sullivan at an event in Atlanta alongside my great friend Eddie Deezen.
