"Until you lose everything, you have no clue what is truly valuable" ~John McAfee

If you recognize the name McAfee, its probably the anti-virus software on your computer right now. John McAfee created it. He's also a special mix of crazy and brilliant.

The predecessor to the Edward Snowden podcast, Rogan managed to get in contact with McAfee while he was on the run from the Belize government. Prepare for an adventure with one of the most surreal episodes.

McAfee goes through his wild life, selling everything and leaving the states to go live in the jungle, being suspected of murder and drug trade, being surrounded by inappropriately young women, the raids on his compound, and his escape to his unknown location at the time (later VICE would accidentally give away he was in Guatemala).

Is his story legit or is he completely paranoid?

McAfee would return to the U.S. in 2013, became CEO of a technology holding company, and later tried to run for president in 2016 as a Libertarian.
