Episode description as stored

Dan is a former U.S. Army airborne soldier who later became a DEA special agent, working everything from wire-driven investigations to high-risk takedowns. He shares how he went from law school and a Wall Street legal job to federal narcotics enforcement—covering LA task-force work, Bridgeport gang cases, and deployments to Quetta, Pakistan and West Africa that put him on the front lines of how trafficking networks operate overseas.
