I never worked with Ana and Hermeti Balarin, or at Mother or Wieden. But as a Brazilian immigrant, knowing how hard it is to work speak and live in another culture, I’m freaking proud of seeing a Brazilian duo leading the best agency and creatives in the world after a stellar leadership at another iconic agency as they did at Mother. I know there are a bunch of other immigrants leading great shops out there, so cheers to all of you too. You give hope and inspire a ton of immigrants out there.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.
