Cocaine Cowboy to Narco Mindset w/Jorge Valdes, Ph.D EP 345

Dr. Jorge L. Valdes was recently featured in the Netflix docu-series: Cocaine Cowboys, Kings of Miami. As a young man in his twenties with an insatiable thirst for money and power, Jorge Valdés was a founding member of a group that became known as Colombia's Medellin Drug Cartel. Dr. Jorge Valdes uses his Narco Mindset not only to tell his story of a drug lord who found redemption but uses his life to shed light on the life principles and decisions he made. 

The lessons he learned the hard way will challenge you to stop, listen and reflect on your life, inspiring you to act on that reflection, as you discover hope, passion, meaning, and what is truly important in life. Dr. Jorge shows us how to walk on the right principle and stand on them throughout everything. Dr. Jorge Valdés has created the Narco Mindset Academy, A monthly membership program focusing on helping others build what Dr. Valdes calls the Ultimate Narco Mindset.

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
