One of those habits was writing an annual blog for his birthday, where I share my experience as an entrepreneur and father. This practice has been incredibly valuable for me, as it forces me each year to...
At Press Start Evolution, we are digital nomads, which allows us to travel for extended periods without impacting our work, as our entire team works 100% remotely—a mode we’ve adopted for the past 14 years. This time, as business owners, we had the opportunity to travel for five weeks to Canada. Usually, to avoid the harsh Uruguayan...
During Joaquín’s first year of life, I thought I was lucky to spend his first 365 days with him, witnessing his growth firsthand.

Why switch from a first-world country like Australia to Uruguay?” To provide context, we need to go back to January 2020 when, living in Brisbane, we made the decision to leave the country and seek new opportunities. At that time,...

Throughout our journey, we have established the company in Colombia, the United States, Australia, and now, in the early months of 2023, we have decided to continue...
