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 […]
That’s right. Today we are halfway through the month and blog visits are already exceeding 2,000 page views per day. At this rate, this experiment could be achieving 40, 50 or even 60,000 hits for the month, which seems to me aggressively [...]
A little over a week ago we had the visit in Tribu of the entire generation that is about to graduate as Masters in Business Administration from INCAE, objectively, the best business school in Latin America, a condition endorsed by several leading [...]

Madre presented us with this idea exploited to the fullest. It’s a perfectly well-told story, masterful audio and a special effects solution that manages to engage, entertain and connect with the Mortgage Bank. They are the kind of productions that intimidate and [...]
