Summary

Most people hear the word Pablo Escobar and almost have a heart attack. In today’s enthralling interview, you get to hear from the real son of the Drug Lord, listen to the stories of him as a father, an entrepreneur and as a notorious Drug Lord. Uncover the shocking stories, lessons and revolutionary business advice Pablo Escobar used to grow, operate and successfully scale a business globally. KEY TAKEAWAYS Juan Pablo Escobar - The Son of Notorious Drug Lord Pablo Escobar gives a history of how he grew up around guns, violence and a lot of travelling and how his father told him what he does for a living while he was at the age of seven. He also talks about how that impacted him from then until now, that is, all the violence, bodyguards, guns and the travelling. Success is something that you can truly enjoy doing a lot of time, not just for a couple of years of your life. This is what Juan always teaches everybody and advises them not to take part in crime like his father and to not see that as a successful life which is not. Juan talks about how he had to attend a meeting with his father’s enemies who had said would kill him at that meeting while he was 16 years old and how he had to give all things that they had inherited from their father so that there could be peace. Juan has been through a lot and it has been difficult for him now that he is an architect and he faces challenges just like any other business person out there. He has lots of challenges in building his identity now that his father had a huge identity. Juan also talks about his father’s life as a businessman and how he used to traffic drugs from Colombia to the United States using jeans pants and how the policemen would not notice the drugs in the pants. Juan says that his father was a very wealthy man that the money he had could only be counted in kilograms but not in amount because he had so much money that there were not enough machines in the bank and time to count every single coin. Juan encourages people to educate their children as a weapon to fight against drugs. BEST MOMENTS “I cannot tell you that I know, even one single drug dealer who could say, I'm retired. No, they are all in jail or cemetery.” “Having that kind of success my father had will kill your family members, your friends and everybody, what's the point of having that kind of opportunity.” “I'm not attached to my name, not even to my last name.” “When you declare something you are changing immediately your present and future.” “Nothing grows under a big tree.” “While we are suffering, everybody is enjoying it.” “What’s the purpose of having so much money and power if you're not going to be allowed to enjoy it?” “We are not going to live forever.” “We are not 100% bad or 100% good.” “Cocaine is a poison to sell, but not a poison to take.” “A brave man is the one who doesn't do drugs.” “Education is the only weapon that could truly make a change in our kid’s behaviour on drugs.” “If you need to use guns to defend your ideas, perhaps you have to check your ideas.” ABOUT THE GUEST Sebastián Marroquín (born Juan Pablo Escobar Henao, 24 February 1977 in Medellín, Colombia) is a Colombian architect, author, and the son of slain Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
