How does one become a criminal mastermind? How does one turn into a villain? In this episode,  I was joined by Evan Ratliff, an American journalist, and author, to talk about his book, The Mastermind, A True Story of Murder, Empire, and a New Kind of Crime Lord.What is fascinating about his book, and his reporting is that Paul Le Roux, is like the criminal and crime lord equivalent of Elon Musk, where he is tech savvy, and well-versed in technology, and engineering!And at the same time, he also fits into the "Villini's Journey Arc", where he was a genuine and kind-hearted guy,  but due to some obstacles, he turned 180 and started falling into the path of the villain! At some point, Paul Le Roux also mentioned that he wanted to be the biggest criminal out there.Listen to the episode and find out more!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!
