Podcast Digitalízate
My friend Orlando has one of the most privileged minds I know, so it seemed natural to team up with him to create my first podcast. It was a project that came about during the pandemic, but had its roots in my grandfather, one of Mexico's most successful radio entrepreneurs in the mid-20th century.
Digitalízate was a compendium of fascinating stories about technology, creativity, and innovation. We interviewed 22 Spanish-speaking leaders about their work. These were our guests:
Raúl Rojas, artificial intelligence pioneer

Movie script
I am working on a screenplay for a movie production. It's a project I've had in my heart for many years, but I've only been able to devote time to it sporadically.
Stay tuned!
Foundation
Inspired by becoming parents, my girlfriend and I are very excited to contribute to children's creativity. We dream of starting our own foundation to promote creativity in children in my home country of Mexico.
We will form alliances with various local creatives and artists who want to donate their time to interact with children and awaken their imagination and creative potential.
The foundation will be an NGO and will be launched in Monterrey at a date to be determined.
Slavery
Being a descendant of slave traders, I want to give something back to the people who suffered under my ancestors rule. Between 1765 and 1789, they hold the monopoly of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade for the Spanish crown.
I started this by publishing the story of José María Enrile, my eight grandfather, at El País, the most important Spanish newspaper.
