From the Dangers of Venezuela to the Promise of America: The Humbling Journey of Anthony Arismendi

Anthony Arismendi "Tony" is a former FBI agent with a highly decorated and distinguished career spanning two decades of undercover and special operations against drug cartels, gangs, organized crime, violent criminals, and terrorist organizations.In his new book, “Outsider Agent” he tells the story of how he moved to the United States from the dangerous streets of Caracas, Venezuela as a teenager in the mid-seventies, with the dream of becoming a US citizen and an FBI agent—adapting his survival skills to a new culture, one harrowing day at a time, overcoming homelessness, prejudice, and poverty to achieve the impossible. Profoundly inspirational, Arismendi’s unique blend of hard work, perseverance, and mysticism in the face of relentless adversity reminds us that our reservoirs of courage and determination run far deeper than we know—and that we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how out of reach they might seem.TODAY'S SPONSOR LOVEPlease Help in Supporting our AMAZING sponsors!*Find ALL links and details at the end of today's Show NotesLINKS FOR TODAY'S GUESTANTHONY ARISMENDI "TONY"BUY OUTSIDER AGENT ON AMAZON: AVAILABLE TODAY!VISIT TONY'S WEBSITE: www.AnthonyArismendi.comFOLLOW TONY ON INSTAGRAMSUPPORT THE SHOWFOR JUST THE COST OF A CUP OF JOEHey, it's Kevin!I hope you enjoyed today's episode!
