Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee Page #4

who was over visiting

with us,

'cause he wasn't home yet.

And he shows up,

and heand so,

I let him in the house

and he's got

a gun in his back pocket.

And I says

Susan said,

you know, uh,

"Is that a gun in your pocket,

or are you just happy

to see me?"

You know?

And, you know, he just,

"Oh, well, you know,

it's dark out, there's no street

lights on this street.

You never know."

But they were making

quite a bit of money then.

But they were making

quite a bit of money then.

And maybe somebody

kidnapped his wife.

So he came over to see

if we'd seen her.

Is that paranoid?

I don't know.

Pensive music

After earning millions

in Silicon Valley,

John did not retire.

He created social network

ventures

like Tribal Voice

and PowWow.

But they didn't take off.

But they didn't take off.

Then in 2000, he exited

the business world completely.

He bought 280 acres

of land in Colorado

and opened a yoga

and meditation center.

I've been doing yoga

and meditation for 35 years.

Given the life that I lead

and I admit,

I lead life on the edge.

I have to do something.

So I believe in yoga.

Yoga will extend your life,

and it'll also give you a clear

to stay there.

Got up there, and there's

this beautiful house.

Massive grounds and literally

like his own forest.

It was kind of too big

to even get my head around,

Yeah, there was

rumors in town

Up in the hills.

He always had

which was beautiful.

They're really good.

Later, I remember

him saying
