🎙️ Texas Narcos Podcast Season 2 Premiere 🎙️

In this powerful episode, Randy sits down with Shaheen Moayed-Pardazi (Triple I Solutions) to share an incredible life story that spans continents, cultures, and careers.

Shaheen opens up about his childhood in Iran, witnessing the historic 1979 revolution that transformed the country into a religious authoritarian regime. He shares what it was like living through that change, his journey to America, and the challenges of building a new life.

From moving to America at 15 to becoming a police officer, Shaheen reflects on the struggles and triumphs of wearing the badge as a Muslim in law enforcement—facing cultural challenges, public perception, and personal resilience.

This is more than a story about policing—it’s about freedom, faith, and finding your place in a divided world.

He is the author of several books, including his latest work, The Patriot Jihadi, a powerful memoir detailing his journey from a childhood shaped by conflict to a career dedicated to protecting others.

Shawn is also the host of The Patriot Jihadi Show, a podcast where he welcomes diverse guests to share personal stories about their challenges and life experiences.

Since retiring from law enforcement, Shawn has devoted himself to educating law enforcement, military, and intelligence professionals on counter-smuggling strategies and terrorism detection. He also speaks at civilian events, aiming to raise awareness—particularly among parents—about the dangers of online extremist indoctrination and the role of social media in radicalization.

Make sure to follow and subscribe to his various social media channels below and don’t forget to get a copy of his book in paperback, audiobook, or eBook:

In the explosive Season 1 Finale of the Texas Narcos Podcast, Randy sits down with two unlikely allies—Simon, a reformed ex-gang member, and Johnny, a retired narcotics and gang detective. Together, they peel back the curtain on their gritty and dangerous time working undercover in the gang-infested streets of Southern California.

From the first handshake built on distrust to the brotherhood forged in blood, Simon and Johnny recount high-stakes operations, deep cover tactics, near misses, and the blurred lines between loyalty, survival, and justice. They share never-before-heard stories of betrayal, redemption, and how two men from opposite sides of the law ended up fighting the same war—together.

This finale is raw, real, and unforgettable.

You won’t want to miss how Season 1 ends—with a story that proves truth is stranger (and more dangerous) than fiction.
