#38 The Recollections of Sokrates with Frank Marrero

Frank Marrero has lived different lives in this grace of abundant years. He was in the newspapers and on TV at the age of two, going off of high-dives; he was the only kid he knew who built his own flying machine and survived several 'flights'. He was an original 'parkour' madman; did 'free climbing' in Yosemite; mastered rope-swinging; did cliff diving for tourists; 

He also owned a hardware store, started a very successful restaurant, lived on a farm, was a school-teacher and forester. He is a proud father of two young adults and is the   author of some 10 books, ranging from pre-Sokratic mysteries to biographies, from curricula for teaching children character education and writing skills to a science text on fasting, et cetera.

I had the pleasure of speaking with him about his book, Recollections of Sokrates.
 
Some of the topics we discussed includes: 

• The unique way in which the book tells the story of Sokrates.
• The motives behind his execution.
• Did the prophecy Sokrates had about what would happen after his death, come to pass? 
• What was a philosopical takeaway from his death?
• What Frank wanted the reader or listener to takeaway from the book
• Sokrates' views on love
• Sokrates' famous quotes and the ones which stick out to both Frank and I.
• Sokrates' upbringing.
