- In Episode 140 of Hell Has an Exit, join Bryan Alzate and Frank Rodriguez as they delve into the compelling life story of Frank, marked by the harsh realities of growing up in a drug-infested Brooklyn neighborhood. Frank's journey takes a dark turn when, as a teenager, he turns to selling drugs and eventually commits an armed robbery at the age of 15, leading to his arrest.
After spending 17 years in prison, Frank undergoes a remarkable transformation, becoming a dedicated advocate for those battling addiction and homelessness. Against the backdrop of Kensington, Philadelphia's opioid crisis, Frank sheds light on the dire situation, his personal struggle with addiction, and his mission to help others. He candidly addresses the criticism he faces for sharing his work on social media, explaining that documenting these stories can help reconnect families with missing loved ones and raise crucial awareness about the opioid crisis.
From documenting stories on social media to addressing the lack of support in Kensington, Frank's unwavering commitment to positive change shines through, driven by personal loss, including the recent tragic fentanyl overdose of his sister, and a deep desire to prevent further tragedies.
Discover the remarkable strength of the human spirit and the beauty of humanity in this episode as Frank Rodriguez's transformative story showcases the resilience and compassion that can shine even in the darkest of circumstances.

thank you to HELL HAS AN EXIT and the team
Great interview!!
Thank you, Frank! I'm sure we will see you soon!
Frank is the realest person you’ll ever meet. I’ve NEVER seen him give up on anybody. ❤ you Frank you’re the Kensington Angel
We appreciate Frank and can’t wait to work with him more in the future!
Shout out to Frank 👊🏻 MOM FAM 💯
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Frank that man fr
He sure is! Changing lives every single day!
I watch a lot of these guys doing what Frank does. Frank is the most genuine I’ve watched. Wow what a life story Frank!!! You were meant to be here xx
He really is, I got to watch him in action first had it was truly inspiring to watch the way he does what he does with so much realness, love & compassion.
I have been a sub to Frank's channel for years. I absolutely adore he & his wife & their beautiful, amazingly awesome kids! Funny thing, is that i was directed to his channel years ago because i am a hairstylist & he's a barber... so something in the algorithm brought me there because of that aspect. But, i learned sooooo much more about what he does & addiction & Kensington. I'm from the north east as well... just outside NYC so I've seen from an outsider perspective how drugs & homelessness plagued NYC and surrounding areas for so long.
Over the many years of watching Frank, I've heard bits n pieces of his story, but never fully together like this ❤ I truly appreciate this opportunity that he was able to speak, & for you to have the privilege of listening & asking questions first hand. There was been so much loss we as supporters of Frank & his channel we have watched him go thru first hand. I really believe this was incredibly theraputic for him, as its a safe way to talk thru some of the pain & hurt he's been thru over the years.
Thank you so much 💓 from the bottom of my heart. I'm a new sub to your channel & will continue to watch & support. Much luv to you both!! X0
Thank you so much for sharing, it’s so cool to see everyone showing up for Frank in the comments and sharing how he’s impacted the lives of so many.

Frank is the real deal. I came across his channel after loosing my sister in March of 2021 of a fentanyl overdose. I am in recovery for 15 years and I wish I was able to give back like Frank and Rachel. I hope to one day give back to the channel with my experience strength and hope. Frank & his family do this for the love and humanity of others. I am grateful to say that I am part of Franks community its like family. ❤
