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.

From Mosaic in Pasadena, Erwin McManus, the lead pastor of one of the most creative churches in the United States, www.mosaic.org, will visit us next week. In his proposal, art, film, dance, music of course, creativity and innovation play a key role [...]

Tribu in Honduras and El Salvador. Last week I was for the first time at Tribu DDB San Pedro Sula, where we made a high voltage personal connection, got stuck on several ideas and managed to initiate a close relationship. I loved [...]
More candidates than ideas. Today Costa Rica is the scene of a spectacular 3D caricature drawn by the politicians of the moment. Between handshakes and hugs, they join in alliances of all kinds and colors to achieve power, without prioritizing proposals or [...]
