What can you learn from Pablo Escobar, the notorious Colombian drug lord, about starting a writing business?
More than you probably think.
Earlier this month I watched the first season of Narcos on Netflix.
(My wife was in Korea for two weeks so my evenings were spent with Netflix and an alarming amount of cereal.)
Anyway, if you haven’t seen the show it’s basically a dramatization of Pablo Escobar’s life:
How he rose from the poverty of a Colombian village to the world’s 7th richest man.
His incredible rise was fueled, of course, by coke. And I ain’t talking the kind you drink with your pizza.
In fact:
Escobar’s rise to riches and infamy left a trail of death, destruction and broken lives behind him.
No doubt he was a bad dude.
But...
His story (at least the binge-worthy depiction of it on Narcos) is packed with powerful business-building lessons.
I rap about it in a new post over on the blog.
