All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
A couple of hours ago concluded a new experiment with Gorileo TV, in an interview between Laura Chinchilla and Rogelio Umaña from Tribu and through the Internet, the most democratic existing audiovisual communication channel. In an open space, with practically no production [...]
Standing up and walking is a miracle in itself. Opening our eyes and seeing is a gift of life that we cannot fail to appreciate, as the stories of people like Aimee Mullins remind us of the real obstacles some face, and [...]

We have all enjoyed or suffered the Oscars awards in Hollywood. A few on the site, and all the rest of us, happily do it on TV. It’s sensational! I enjoy watching the films first, and then the talent, creativity, production, innovation [...]
I often have an amusing discussion with my children, because I think there is no better pizza than anchovy pizza. They find it obnoxious, while I find it wonderful. The anchovy is always salty, juicy and defined, so it stands out [...]
