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 [...]
I have a signal from my body that you could help me interpret: it’s getting worse every year! That is, either the viruses are getting more and more powerful (like influenza), or I am not getting any younger. There could be a [...]

Yesterday I had the immense pleasure of visiting Guatemala once again, this time to bring to the University Rafael Landívar the “Taka tum tum tum taka taka taka tum, an urban story of influence and transformation.” An experience like the one I [...]
Mental change is the demand today for those of us who inhabit this planet. Especially for those who seek every opportunity to make a difference, to exist for a purpose or to live with meaning. A week ago I had the immense [...]
Today I sat down to read Fusil de Chispas and all the comments posted on Christian Cambronero’s famous blog in reference to Tribu DDB ‘s new campaign for our client El Verdugo, produced by Camera, with only a week on air. How [...]
