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 have been writing A Fuego Lento for several years. In times of greater intensity on the keys, as expected, the visits rise and the connection with readers is strengthened. At the same time, when I let go of the keyboard and [...]
This is a conversation we will never forget. But for that, you have to get to know her. 😉 On her way to the top of Everest, this brave tica named Gineth Soto stopped by Tribu DDB to talk and share. Thanks [...]

It was March 2008 when I programmed the rental car’s GPS to find the closest gas station. I was in Paris and had to fill the tank in order to avoid the steep cost of gas at the rental agency. Since I [...]
When I typed this question into Google, a whopping 241 million results came up. “Holy shit!” I thought to myself. Then, I tweaked my query slightly, swapping the word “world” for “life” and two million more search results were generated. Safe to [...]
My blogging debut was back in 2005 when I first wrote a few lines here, on the Slow Burn blog, named A Fuego Lento in Spanish. Since then, it has certainly lived up to its name; I’ve gone through periods of writing [...]
