The Rest of the 'Catch Me if You Can' Story
Frank Abagnale is a terrific speaker - the first 28 minutes are spell-binding. Do yourself a favor and watch.

Wow.
I couldn't turn it off at 30 minutes-just kept on going. The password thing is interesting. Since this was released in 2017, I wonder how that has progressed. Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 06-09-2019 at 09:39 AM.. |

Great stuff! And actually I think the advice given starting around 30:45 is golden.

He gives a very entertaining speech. If I’m not mistaken, he lived for 25 years in a house about two blocks from where I grew up.

Got the hour to watch. Lots to be gained from this. Number one to me is to always be grateful that I was raised by a mother AND a father.

I got to see him speak at Spiceworld last year. His real story is much more interesting than the movie. Lots of good information.
