Chris Hastings Retired DEA Agent & Author Cocaine Cowboys Uncensored | HLJ EP411

Joining us is Chris Hastings retired DEA agent who is now sharing his fast paced adventures as an agent in Miami during the Cocaine days. Join us for a dive into the gritty adrenaline-fueled world of Miami's cocaine cowboys era. Movies glamorized it, but he lived it on the front lines against the ruthless Medellin Cartel. In Chris’s new book: Cocaine Cowboys Uncensored, you'll experience the obscene wealth, violence and constant threats Chris faced fresh out of college as a DEA agent in 1979. It's a firsthand account of matching wits with the cartels most dangerous while his life hung in the balance. Academic degrees in Pre Law and Economics took a back seat to sheer grit and survival instincts as I learned daily harsh truths of how the drug trade worked and how to survive. Now retired, Chris recounts those linchpin years when the Colombian drug trade was at its most sinister with the highest stakes.
