Community Corner Newsletter [March 2025]

Isaac A.

Hey Community friends,

A big shoutout to @Marcela for sharing her amazing adventure with the Social Responsibility Pillar in last month’s edition! If you missed it, you can find it here. Since both Marcela and I are from Costa Rica, it’s no surprise that we share a deep love for nature and outdoor adventures.

Last summer, I had the chance to return to my hometown and spend some quality time at my parents’ house. There’s something special about going back to where you grew up, reconnecting with family, and rediscovering the beauty of familiar places. Stay with me to see more of my trip!

Pass the mic 🎤 Community Champions

Community Champions are members who demonstrate product expertise and generosity in sharing best practices and support with others on the platform.

“In life and in business, we are all critical of ourselves; sometimes way more critical than others would ever be to us. Small bumps in the road are not world-ending, nor should they stop us from trying again. Each moment of failure presents an opportunity for growth - to learn from mistakes, understand root-causes, and improve the next time around.

So be kind to yourself, try something new, and take that risk. Because I know for me, and for all of us here - failure is not the result that we will end on.”

- @Will Duplex , Sr. Assets Protection Business Partner at Target and Community Champion (Read his full comment here)

More about Isaac:

My hometown, Sarchí, is a charming town nestled in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, specifically in the province of Alajuela. Known for its rich biodiversity and artisan culture, it’s a place where you can easily catch breathtaking sunsets with stunning mountain views. Here’s a picture of one of those sunsets from a favorite spot of mine.

While walking near my parents’ house with my dog, I came across a beautiful flower blooming from a fallen tree, one of those small but magical moments that nature often surprises us with. Being home also meant quality time with my family, and as a grill guy, I couldn’t pass up the chance to fire up the grill! Here’s a shot of some shrimp I cooked for everyone.

No matter where life takes me, Sarchí will always be my home. Do you have a special place that always feels like home, no matter how much time passes?
