Frankie Margotta's story begins in New Jersey, where his adolescence strayed from the typical success narrative accustomed from those of high achievement. For most, a sense of loss and belonging would be overwhelming, but Frankie was an exception at overcoming tremendous odds. From earning his GED and working, to entering the military and making his mark as a Special Operator, to entering the creative world in Brand Strategy, Frankie's knack of taking risks and strategic thinking has continued to play a pivotal role in his personal and professional development. The most interesting story told on the show, he dives into his unconventional yet incredible journey, along with his documented love for sneakers.

This week's episode is a solo episode. I felt like it was long overdue — a chance for me to discuss (in shortform) why I do everything that I do. This podcast venture has made me think about the importance of creation and being a creative, like why did I decide to do not only the podcast, but any of this? Well I'll tell you that the answer lies in the passion I have for this, a burning passion to continue creating for my heart and soul, AND for your entertainment. I hope that for any aspiring creative/entrepreneur or anyone experienced that you can relate to my story and that you took a little something away. More solo episodes to come, but also amazing next guest episodes as well.  Cannot wait to tell you all what is upcoming with the Capturing Form rebrand and what is next to come for the rest of Season 1.
