Imagine you’re a non-swimmer and you’re standing on a shore, contemplating the waves. They are quite high, but there are people still swimming in the ocean. It’s a peaceful scenery. Until a wave tries to catch you. It becomes bigger and bigger, and you realize that it will break an...

Most of you have been following KnowDo longer than I did, so I am not telling you anything new when I say that we have here an outstanding concept with a lot of potential. And let me tell you: We are now ready to explore it! When I was invited by the founders Chris and Filippo if I would join the team as Editor and Communications Manager, I thought (and said): “Hell, yes!” As I wrote here, I was really fond of the website since the beginning, and becoming part of the team was just the logical consequence.

En el segundo piso de un hotel decorado al es...

La ineludible tarea de replantearnos los proyectos antes de llevarlos adelante.
