I am incapable of doing anything that is not true and where the truth is not seen. Whenever we talk about success stories it seems that we stay on the beautiful part. But behind every success story there is a hidden truth. There is a story of sacrifice, effort and in my case of important mental management. And we teach all that. For me, it was essential that everything I do be seen to get where I am and continue to fulfill my dreams and my objectives,” he stated, also making it clear that “everything we do we add to another long list, we do not stop doing others to it”. «So, it is a strenuous job and the level of mental demand is very great.

My job is very demanding every day and I do a thousand things. “Today after giving the morning service I went to one of the kitchens we have in delivery.” When he finished, he went to the gym to run 10 kilometers on the treadmill. According to Muñoz, he doesn’t usually do a double session of sports, “what happened is that I came to ‘El Hormiguero’ and I wanted to be at my best to give you a hard time,” he joked with Motos.
