Eduardo Holguín, is a Dominican creative director, photographer, and art director, and the founder of By Holguín, a forward-thinking creative studio shaping the future of media and storytelling.

In this episode, Eduardo opens up about his journey from the Dominican Republic to the United States, growing up in a well to do family, and making the intentional decision to carve out his own path in America. He breaks down what it really took to build his career on his own terms and how community, culture, and mentorship played a critical role in his success.

Eduardo shares the story behind landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, crediting the support of a fellow Dominican woman who believed in his vision and helped open doors. Together, we challenge the tired narrative that Gen Z is lazy, discussing how this generation is working harder than ever, creating opportunities, and kicking down doors in industries that were never built with us in mind.

The conversation also dives into his work with global brands like CoverGirl, the rise of a new generation of creatives redefining journalism and media, and how Eduardo is building platforms that center underrepresented voices. He talks about what creative leadership looks like in 2026, how culture drives innovation, and where he sees his work evolving next.

In a moment of raw transparency, Eduardo also opens up about his hair transplant journey and how sharing that experience on social media has sparked conversations around masculinity, vulnerability, and self-confidence, helping straight men reclaim their hairlines and their confidence without shame. This is a must-watch interview for anyone interested in Latino excellence, creative leadership, Gen Z culture, and the future of media, storytelling, and representation.
