<p>This is the story of a man who wasn’t just moving weight; he was moving nations, hermano. A man who had more power than the president, more loyalty than the army, and more cash than the banks could count. Say what you want, but in his world? He was El Patrón and the world? It listened.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>This is the story of Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria</strong>.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let's get one thing straight: he was no saint. Pablo Escobar wasn’t your regular Robin Hood. Sure, he threw money at the poor and built neighborhoods, but don’t get it twisted. This man didn't just bend the rules, he buried them six feet under along with anyone who dared to contradict him.</p><p><br/></p><p>I heard a crazy story of him burning stacks of cash just to keep his little girl warm. Imagine that so much cash gone up in flames, not to show off but just ‘cause the kid was cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>By the ’80s, he was the kingpin of the Medellín Cartel, bagging at least $420 million per week. Yeah, per week, chico. Forbes magazine called him the seventh-richest man on earth. The U.S. government called him a terrorist.</p><p><br/></p><p>He gave Colombia the most dangerous kind of love: the kind that comes with a price. He bought loyalty with fear and fear with money.</p><p><br/></p><p>So no, Pablo Escobar isn't a role model. He’s a warning. A walking contradiction. Part legend, part monster.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
