N5’s CEO features in a viral episode with an honest conversation about career, mistakes, and what it truly means to build your own path
The latest episode of the IMPACT podcast, featuring our CEO Julián Colombo, has become a true phenomenon. And not because it is controversial or sensational — quite the opposite. What stands out is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it really takes to build your own path.
Hosted by Patricia Jebsen and Francisco Ruiz Luque, the episode moves away from traditional formats and opens space for a more genuine and relatable narrative. From the very beginning, it is clear that the goal is not to present an idealized version of success, but to explore the processes, doubts, and decisions behind it.
One of the central themes is time — not as a scarce resource, but as a strategic variable. The conversation highlights that many projects fail not because of a lack of talent, but due to a lack of maturity. Giving ideas the time they need — and sustaining them — becomes a competitive advantage in itself.
Another key insight is the importance of taking action, even without having all the answers. The message is clear: instead of waiting for the perfect moment, it is essential to move forward, test, fail, and try again. In this journey, failure stops being an obstacle and becomes part of the process.
Throughout the episode, reflections on external expectations also emerge. What does success really mean? Who defines it? And how much of it actually aligns with personal desires?
The conversation invites listeners to rethink these “metrics” and question their own beliefs about success and achievement.
But perhaps the most powerful element of the episode is its tone. There is something relaxed, almost intimate, that creates closeness and encourages genuine listening. It feels like a real conversation — not a performance.
This authenticity helps explain its viral reach. Because when a story feels possible, people share it.
Today, the episode reveals something deeper: there is an audience actively seeking real stories they can relate to. And when that connection happens through our CEO’s story, the impact is even greater.
Because beyond views, this conversation inspires.
