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 came across this talk and the room was half empty. Then I understood, for at a conference like SXSW on technology and innovation, the topic seemed to be completely out of our interest. And indeed, this turned out to be a [...]
Napoletano uses fucking like commas, she’s strong, has an impactful personality and says she doesn’t mind losing business, if she loses it because of who she is. I’m 10 feet away from her as she speaks at SXSW and I can’t tell [...]

We are so convinced that we live in the Switzerland of the Americas that many do not want change or NAFTA. We live such a pure life, that there is no shortage of those who have no interest in competition, legitimate self-improvement, [...]
