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 […]
Ever since I started in advertising I have heard of Tony Fergo. Today I have the immense honor and the joy of being his friend. Also his fan, his admirer and his tico follower in all his creativity and energy. Among the [...]
