2025 has been a year of contrasts—intense, emotional, transformative.

In between, there was laughter under a sky full of fireflies outside Kuala Lumpur with my grandson Mauricio; a spiritual retreat in […]
Technology is the most powerful accelerator in advertising creativity. Brands around the world are proliferating and next June Cannes will have more cases that prove this to be true. The speed of change is only increasing and today it is reckless. Let’s [...]

In the last 9 years I have run 6 marathons, although it should have been about 8. Last year I had an accident in April going down a steep mountain, and that’s when I hurt my knee. How it hurt! Then in [...]
