    In February 2015, after serving 21 years, he was released from the Bureau of Prisons, to seek his fortune. Back in the world Ferranti continued his writing career as a journalist penning pieces for VICE, OZY, The Daily Beast, Dazed, MERRY JANE, and features for Penthouse and Real Crime Magazines, among others. He also embarked on his true passion, filmmaking. 
     
    Ferranti joined forces with Shawn Rech and Transitions Studios to make WHITE BOY, a top ten Netflix feature documentary on Richard Wershe Jr. Seth also starred in the season one finale of VICE’s I WAS A TEENAGE FELON. Modeling himself as the Quentin Tarantino of documentaries,  he currently has four documentary projects in production and three in post at his studio OUTLAW FILMS.

The most YOUseful podcast out there!

Kudos to Steve Sims! He’s gotten where he is by serving others and this podcast is no different! He curates the show like he curates his events: thoughtfully and deliberately, to help all those who tune in. Now I’m spoiled. And inspired!

Absolutely LOVE This Show!

OMGosh - the episode with Ryan Tate and the work he does with VETPAW.org utilizing veterans to help protect African wildlife was remarkable. I was touched and inspired to learn about it and loved the platform Steve provided through his delightful and thought-provoking podcast.

I really enjoy hearing Steve as he shoots from the hip...and in a world that craves authenticity these days...that goes a long way in my book. Steve is passionate, smart as a whip, and does a magnificent job with his marketing and memorable branding so one can learn a lot from him! Oh - and I dig his accent too! I could listen to him all day.

I highly recommend this podcast to anyone wishing to be fired up in business and life!
