MIAMI (June 10, 2025) - You vs You, a powerful new podcast from NEON16 co-founder and cultural force Lex Borrero, launches today in partnership with , �����ƽ��’s podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories. Far from a highlight reel of success stories, reveals the often-hidden mental and emotional battles faced by even the most accomplished artists and industry leaders. The series invites listeners into honest conversations about fear, impostor syndrome, self-doubt, trauma, and how confronting those battles can lead to true transformation.

Hosted by Borrero, a first-generation Colombian-American who rose from outsider to industry powerhouse, You vs You blends raw storytelling with emotional clarity, drawing from Borrero’s own journey navigating the U.S. entertainment industry and co-founding the award-winning creative collective NEON16. The weekly podcast will offer a candid, intimate exchange between Borrero and his notable guests, exploring the inner struggle between who we are and who we’re meant to become, rooted in the same personal conflict between self-doubt and self-determination that Borrero has faced himself.

“‘You vs You’ is about confronting the invisible battles we all face, such as fear, self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and learning how to transform them,” says Borrero, host and co-founder of NEON16. “These are the conversations most people aren’t having, but need to. We’re excited to partner with �����ƽ��’s My Cultura Podcast Network to bring these powerful stories to listeners everywhere and help spark personal growth through honest, unfiltered dialogue.”

“We are very excited to welcome ‘You vs You’ to the My Cultura Podcast Network,” said Leo Gomez, Head of My Cultura. “There are very few shows available that talk so open and honestly about mental health from a male Latino perspective, let alone one that produces content for both English and Spanish language listeners. Lex has been a part of the entertainment industry for a long time and has worked with musical powerhouses and pop culture icons – his perspective and experiences are invaluable to our community.”

Named a Billboard Latin Power Player three years in a row and recognized by Fast Company in 2025 as one of the music industry’s most innovative leaders, Borrero has built a career working with some of the world’s biggest artists, including Will Smith, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and Justin Bieber, contributing to over 500 million records sold globally. Yet despite these milestones, external success alone didn’t bring lasting fulfillment. The constant demands, pressure to perform, and high expectations led Borrero to reflect more deeply on his purpose. That reflection sparked a personal and spiritual journey that reshaped his definition of success. You vs You is the result — a platform where Borrero explores the emotional and psychological challenges behind ambition and achievement, creating space for real growth, healing, and self-discovery.

Launching with a premiere episode today featuring Emmy Award-winning producer Polo Molina, Season 1 includes 48 episodes released every Tuesday in both audio and video formats. Future guests include will.i.am, Ricky Montaner, Lecrae, Joy Taylor, Marko, Oliver Trevena, and many more. Not to celebrate their fame, but to uncover the truth behind it. Each conversation is a meditation on healing, a masterclass in self-mastery, and a reminder that the greatest opponent we will ever face is the one within.

“This show isn’t about success; it’s about the inner work behind it. It’s about what people have had to overcome within themselves to move forward,” says Borrero. “You vs You is where we face our inner critics and begin to rewrite the story.”

Each episode is an unfiltered, introspective conversation that dissects the emotional and psychological hurdles that hold people back, from childhood trauma to the weight of cultural expectation. It’s about navigating the emotional minefields of fear, self-sabotage, impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and the traumas that linger beneath even the most polished personas. The show’s mission is clear: to give listeners the tools, language, and perspective to face their own inner critics and move forward.

Throughout the series, Borrero doesn’t just host, he listens, guides, and learns. The podcast features not only cultural figures and executives but also psychologists, spiritual teachers, and thought leaders who help unpack the emotional patterns that keep people stuck. These conversations go far beyond vulnerability, they offer real tools for transformation. In addition to its core English-language programming, You vs You will release one Spanish-language episode each month, deepening its connection with Latin audiences and broadening the impact of its powerful, personal conversations.

will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard today, with video content and short-form clips available weekly via to encourage conversation and self-reflection across social channels.

In a culture that often celebrates performance over authenticity, You vs You is a call to transformation. It’s not about becoming someone new, it’s about finally becoming who you are.

The My Cultura Podcast Network is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is also home to more than 55 podcasts including hit series “,” “'', “”, “,” “,” “”, “” “” and many more. See the full list .
