When Affection Takes Shape: The Art of Detachment in Costa Rica

. Some nights enter our lives quietly and then stay with us forever—unexpected, unforgettable, and impossible not to smile about when we remember them.

In October 2019 I listened to a chat led by an influential professor at the IE Madrid Business School – Dr Teresa Martin Retortillo. Her talk posed a powerful idea: purposeful transformation. I was listening to it alongside members of the G50, [...]

The Art of Letting Go

I’m writing this as I listen to Don’t Call by Desire – it’s on a Spotify playlist made by my dear friend Charlie Ranalli called Retro 80s. There’s a bottle of Glenlivet and a Cuban cigar by my side, and I’m looking [...]
