2025 has been a year of contrasts—intense, emotional, transformative. It began with a heartfelt farewell and ends with my soul wide open after the magical, peaceful family moments we usually share in Escondida. In between, there was laughter under a sky full of fireflies outside Kuala Lumpur with my grandson Mauricio; a spiritual retreat in […]
“From Why to How to What.” I was going through the resources in Prezi, when I came across a presentation with Simon Sinek and his 2009 Ted Talk. In today’s day and age it’s like from prehistoric times, and yet with ideas [...]
I agree with the person who said he preferred the future. After all, that’s where we’re going to spend the rest of our lives, right? Hmmm. Not so fast as the only instant we live in is the here and now. Definitely [...]

A few days ago I came across an ad in the American Airlines magazine that left me impressed. It was about one more sailing ships in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Costa Rica. And at that moment it was as if the [...]
A new edition of SXSW Interactive is coming (March 9 to 13) and we wouldn’t miss it for the world. Last year I was there for the first time, and now I think it’s going to be hard for me to pass [...]

Tribu DDB‘s Chief Creative Officer, Javier Mora, has been confirmed as a jury member at the next Cannes Lions. He is the first Central American to be appointed, after Costa Rica received a special place for 2012. His selection was made directly [...]
