Dive into the extraordinary story of Jorge Valdez, the original "Cocaine Cowboy" who pioneered the cocaine trade in the United States during the 1970s. From his beginnings as the Medellín Cartel's accountant to running multi-million-dollar operations, Jorge franchised the drug trade and left a mark on history.

But his story doesn’t end there. After a life-changing spiritual awakening, Jorge walked away from a dangerous empire, forfeiting millions and serving a decade in federal prison. During that time, he found faith, earned a doctorate, and emerged as a motivational speaker, author, and philanthropist.

Join us as Jorge shares untold truths about the Medellín Cartel, his encounters with figures like Griselda Blanco, and how he turned his life around to inspire others. From harrowing betrayals to heartfelt reflections, this is a story of redemption you won’t want to miss.
