Martin Suarez and Ian Frisch Interview Episode 585

What’s it really like to live undercover inside one of the world’s most dangerous drug cartels? In this gripping episode, I sit down with former FBI agent Martin Suarez and Ian Frisch authors of Inside the Cartel: How an Undercover FBI Agent Smuggled Cocaine, Laundered Cash and Dismantled a Colombian Narco-Empire. Martin shares the extraordinary story of how he built a convincing cover identity, smuggled drugs and laundered millions—all while risking his life to take down a cartel from the inside. We discuss the dangers, close calls, and psychological toll of undercover work, as well as the surprising human dimensions of cartel life that few outsiders ever see.
