00:10When the proposal came, I didn't say that yes.
00:15I had been doing the same thing in a newsroom,
00:20so I felt that it was time to change my life.
00:23That's why I went to Noticias RCN.
00:26I never imagined how fast this proposal was coming,
00:28and they told me what I was going to do,
00:31and they told me that there were three hours in live and in direct,
00:34that there was no teleprompter,
00:35that we had guests, that we had sessions,
00:38that we were with four people in total in the team.
00:42I said no.
00:43I love the idea, I love the project.
00:49I enjoyed it.
00:51At the beginning, I finished my career in RCN
00:53because I really did a lot of things
00:55that I thought I was not able to do.
00:57I started as a journalist and reporter,
01:00I worked 14 hours a day,
01:01and I never imagined that I was able to do something like that.
01:04I was looking for notes,
01:05I presented the time,
01:06which I never imagined I would ever do in my life.
01:08And then I went to the set of Noticias RCN,
01:13I was present there,
01:15I was going to go there,
01:16I was going to go there every second of what I lived in those eight years.
01:19And in reality,
01:20what the most difficult and what the most sacrifice cost me,
01:24was working on the weekends,
01:26because almost every time you have to spend a week
01:29working on weekends,
01:30so you have to leave family commitments,
01:34dates,
01:35dates,
01:38I went to RCN because I lived in Cali,
01:42and my friend, Wilson Barco,
01:44at that time,
01:45was co-responsal of Noticias RCN,
01:47and also worked in Telepacifico,
01:48and I worked in Telepacifico.
01:50He was a very good friend of mine,
01:51and he, with my wife,
01:53I decided to go to Carnavales of Negros and Blancos
01:56to do all the coverings with Noticias RCN,
01:59because he worked for the news,
02:01and also he was pastused,
02:02so all his family lived there,
02:05and they invited me,
02:05they told me,
02:06they wanted to come here,
02:07because they knew that I liked the issue of reporting,
02:11writing, learning,
02:12and in reality,
02:13I said yes,
02:14I said yes,
02:15we went to the first of January,
02:17in bus from Cali to Pasto,
02:19obviously,
02:20I was like,
02:21I didn't have any money,
02:23I didn't have anything like that,
02:24I just wanted to learn,
02:25and he was very good and he was taught,
02:27so I went to there,
02:28and when I came to there,
02:29Ana Catalina Torres,
02:31who was at that time,
02:32was present in the news,
02:33she was sick of the stomach,
02:34she had no voice,
02:35she was dysphonic,
02:36and then there was no more than anyone
02:38who was watching,
02:38and he called to the news and told me,
02:41she said,
02:41she can't present,
02:42she has no voice,
02:43but I have a friend that is very good,
02:45she does direct to Telepacifico,
02:47so,
02:47she doesn't know if they want,
02:48we do it with her,
02:50So he was a person that I trusted a lot in RCN and they told me,
02:53if she says that she is good, let's put it.
02:56So I did it, I liked my job and Ana Catalina had to go back to Bogotá,
03:00so they told me if I could collaborate and help them,
03:05and then obviously I said yes.
03:08It was very good and 8 days they called me and came to live in Bogotá.
03:14When I was studying communication, I always wanted to be a locutor,
03:18since I was little, I always loved the radio,
03:20and it was more fun to be a locutor,
03:22I thought I was going to be in the radio,
03:25and I also loved the media, the newspapers, the newspapers,
03:28and the newspapers, in reality, the television,
03:30was like what I was most close to me,
03:33and at the end, I don't know, the life was in the television
03:37and in the radio I still haven't been.
03:44Well, I studied communication, and the journalism
03:46I also think that one the takes in the blood,
03:48so you wherever you want to go, when you're a journalist,
03:52you feel that everything can be a news,
03:54and you're very careful of what happens to your surroundings
03:57and you see more beyond what is happening,
04:00so you see a person and say,
04:02this person could work for this thing or this thing,
04:05or this other thing,
04:05you see any situation and you also say,
04:07here you could take one a note of this or the other,
04:10so that one also leads to an intuition inside.
04:14As a presenter, I also think that that is a talent
04:18and that, in reality, it is the charisma
04:20and it is the passion combined,
04:22obviously, with study and with practice,
04:26and many more things.
04:27And the part of the empresarial,
04:29obviously, I need a lot of help,
04:32because, in reality,
04:33I'm not an administrator of companies
04:35or not a designer of shoes,
04:37so, let's say,
04:38I have a team that helps me and helps me.
04:40However, I have ideas
04:41and they help me materialize these ideas,
04:44and so I'm combining all these facets of my life.
04:48Thank you very much.
