The podcast? Recorded online. Dating? On Tinder. Saying no? Through WhatsApp. Firing someone? On a piece of paper. The meeting? On videoconference. The reasons for a raise? In a Power Point.

Being there simply blows your mind. Their work ethics. Their commitment. Their sharp insights. I should be paying for being there… Being in those tables. With excellent people. In the decision-making tables. It’s a game changer for any professional. If you go with an open mind, What you learn. What you absorb....
Ice cream. Free ice cream. This Friday was a hot, sunny day, and they guys could have not chosen a better moment. Lunch time in the business area of the city. Opening day. New shop. Very well known and delicious ice creams. I could not believe my eyes. The queue went over the corner. Expected waiting time: between 30 and 45 min. The square was full of people.
