We always hear people saying “don’t do business with your friends”, that friendship and money is like oil and water.. I was doubting this for long time and now I am quite sure that it entirely depends on the depth of the friendship we have. Friendship + Business = can be Gold. I explain you now, why I think this way.

I am the one of sponsors for the TV program “Junto a ti“ in Marbella Television right from the beginning. I don’t know how many interviews I have received and did for others in this program. I don’t remember how many times we have gathered together for lunch and dinner. We are great friends and also make a great team.

Another good friend of mine Oscar Horacio asked me to be a partner in his show on M95.  I didn’t need to take some time to think, I said YES to Oscar right away. I have been invited to the show so many times and I trust Oscar in his profession.

Marbella Television  and M95 are two different channels, and the question is how can I be on both? YES I can. Two programs “ Marbella Te Quiero “ on M95 and “ Junto a TI“ on Marbella telelevision -  they both have different characters set up, but they have same concept and goal. Both promote MARBELLA and try to bring the people back to Marbella. They are both on the same boat and they made us closer tha n before and also made us grow. We even call each other “ Competitor“ as a joke! 

We are one big family. Oscar from M95 and Felix from Marbella television. They are both close friends of mine and I have never had a any problem with them at work until now and every day we work harder for ourselves and for Marbella. I am just lucky to have good friends…
