After a two-month hiatus, I Will Not Lose returns with a powerful conversation that blends purpose, passion, and production. Host Tony Ortiz sits down with Cuba, the founder of Salud 24/7—a health-focused media network backed by Telemundo and WFMZ, designed to empower the Hispanic community with accessible medical information across TV, podcasts, and social platforms.
Cuba shares his journey from hip hop artist and music producer to media entrepreneur, and how the lack of accessible health information during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked his mission. Alongside his co-founder Dr. William Felix and a talented production team, Cuba is making health content that’s real, culturally relevant, and rooted in lived experience.
The two creatives reflect on the power of staying aligned with your purpose, navigating burnout, and using your gifts to create impact. Whether you're a dream chaser, creative, health advocate, or just curious about starting something meaningful—this episode is your call to action.
