Q & A with Sujey from Narco Mindset


When did you start podcasting?

The vision began on October 15th, we scripted the show, purchased equipment, practiced, and watched a lot of tutorials, we officially launched on February 1, 2020

Why did you start podcasting?

We had a desire to make a difference in the world. We had a vision that we could relate Dr. Jorge Valdes’s unique life journey to show if he could turn his life around anyone can. His story is relatable because he was a founding member of the group that was known as the Medellin Drug Cartel.

He lived a lavish lifestyle, had a conversion experience, voluntarily forfeited all of his wealth to the U.S. Government, went to prison.

When he was released, he received a Masters Degree and Ph.D. from the Loyola University of Chicago. In a culture that is fascinated by Narcos, we want to use his story, not to tell another drug story, but to inspire others to find hope, meaning, and redemption.
