YouTube interview (Cracks Podcast #352) — second part of an extended conversation between host Oso Trava and Carlos Slim. Recorded Oct 5, 2025 (per metadata in initial context). Slim discusses business strategy (Telmex/Telcel, mobile telephony growth, pricing tactics vs Marlboro), corporate organization (operating large groups as separate, low-hierarchy companies), the history and role of Inbursa (founding date, bank concession in early 1990s, resilience through crises), family and succession (family meals, grandchildren in business, philanthropy), his philanthropy and Fundación initiatives (education platform Aprende with certified courses, mini-cities concept, combating extreme poverty), art collecting and Museo Soumaya acquisitions/replicas, and his letter/advice to youth (values, optimism, excerpts read aloud). The tone is conversational, reflective, with practical business and personal advice.

Questions this video answers

About 30,000 to 35,000 clients (initial mobile telephony).

Reached about 8.5 million at peak; later 'around 8.2 million' (Slim's statements).

Founded in 1965; Slim states they received a bank concession around 1993 (also references 1981 for a sociedad de inversión concession).

He stated Inbursa is 'the third bank of Mexico' in terms of profits (not size), and that it never required bailout across ~60 years.
