Jesse Fink - Pure Narco, Working for Cartels like Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel The Mojo Sessions

Jesse Fink in his book Pure Narco, shares the true story of Luis Navia known as 'El Senador' (The Senator) who smuggled over 300 tons of cocaine for the biggest Colombia & Mexico cartels including Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel.⁣ Jesse spent years with Luis to understand the logistics of these huge operations, the dichotomy of a guy driven to make his father proud, what he was willing to sacrifice for the next big shipment, as well as the moment relentless USA law-enforcement officials finally took him down. It’s a white-powdered, white-knuckle ride you’ll never forget.
 
Jesse explains his take on his new book. What gave Jesse a true sense of who Luis Navia is and just the magnitude of his life and his deals? Luis had his own motivations for telling his story. Why? Why now? How did Jesse build the trust with a guy who is always looking over his shoulder, to have the trust to share his story? Luis almost took exception to being labelled a Narco… even the title took some discussion. How did he see his identity, how did he see himself? Did the telling of his story draw out any remorse or regret in his mind about the life Luis led? Did the story of Luis Navia have an effect on Jesse and his own life as a man? Can Jesse see any of himself in Luis? Luis was driven by a desire to prove himself to his father. Did Jesse feel as though in some way Luis failed to make his father proud? The book is a tale about money, what it means to be “rich”, and knowing when enough is enough. What’s’ the dichotomy of Luis? Jesse explains the different sides he found in Luis. Where does Jesse’s curious thirst for a story come from?  OCD is sometimes called the ‘doubter’s disease’. When Jesse is so heavily involved in a book, does a distortion start to infiltrate his thinking based on his own OCD? Did Jesse ever find himself looking over his shoulder, consciously or unconsciously wondering if he was being watched or followed? “The Narco world is more complicated that you think.” What did Jesse learn about Narco operations that can be applied to business operation?
