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 […]
Successful people make important decisions early in their lives, and then manage those decisions. John C Maxwell for 7 minutes, one for every 10,000 hits received on A Fuego Lento during the month of August. Perhaps this is completely unrelated, and then [...]
In the last few weeks, more than ever I have heard from people eager for revolution in their fields. There are clear signs that anticipate changes, evolutions and even cultural revolutions that could finally change the status quo. Both in Costa Rica [...]
