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 […]
“I was of the opinion that what is past is past. And that everything that is not there today, should be buried next to our memories. …Everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always beside us, inside us, [...]
If you don’t like something, say so. If you have a contribution, say so. If you find me in error, wrong or stupid, say so. And if you think it’s okay, whatever you want to say, you can say it here in [...]
