Macro Frui

Macro frui wo 2/16/25 I’ve been working with a bread company for the past couple months. There’s something to be said about finding lessons in monotonous tasks. Today, we are focusing on.... Discovery. To give a bit of context, I used to work at a pizza place in San Luis Obispo, CA, called Flour House. It was started by a guy named Alberto; quickly joining him was another Italian legend Antionio. These two developed a dough that transformed their pizza joint into one of the best in the United...

Macro frui wO 2/2/25 I truly hope everyone can find someone that they can share experiences with. For me that is my girlfriend… Brooke. It was Brooke’s birthday this past weekend so I wanted to write about a few things she’s taught me in our relationship. I could speak forever about Brooke, but I don’t want to get into our personal lives. Instead I’ll be sharing three things I’ve learned from her in our relationship, in the hopes people can relate to them or learn to look for signs in their...

Macro frui w/o 1/28/25 Our society is an accumulation of outdated systems. These systems create one of the most mentally taxing burdens we as humans hold over each other… Expectations. In this post I’ll be discussing what drives expectations, how to manage expectations, and ways to overcome and defy expectations. The modern world is built up on old systems that are failing us, and it’s driving rates of mental illness through the roof. It all starts with our education. We are expected to go to...

Macro frui wo 11/10 As I was sitting there reading my book, something occurred to me. Everything around me was entirely….. Still. I love the podcast Modern Wisdom by Chris Williamson. He has a premise he likes to talk about on his podcasts about Type A and Type B people. Type A people are the over-achieving, competitive, workaholics that rule the world (Or at least they’d like to eventually). Type A people are interesting because they are ambitious, adventurous, and tend to be perfectionists....

Macro frui w/o 1/5 As I was getting rag dolled uncontrollably it occurred to me, I am absolutely getting… Humbled. Let me paint the picture. Around this time (January) of 2023, I embarked on the second most humbling experience of my life. The winters in California are harsher than one might expect because of wind and rain storms. Fortunately for us surfers, this is what we live for. On this occasion we were getting reports of a giant storm brewing off the coast which was generating a long...

Macro frui w/o 1/1 I bought something very special to me in 2024, it is single handedly the best investment I made all of last year. This rug…. This rug is from Pakistan and I bought it at an amazing store called Old World Rugs in San Luis Obispo, Ca. If you aren’t familiar with how these rugs are made here is a short video demonstration if you’re curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ECqbfX0IUA&t=18s The reason this rug holds so dear to me is because it metaphorically represents more...

Macro frui w/o 12/15 Much of my time is spent creating, of the time, 90% goes towards this one skill. The one skill that has dramatically altered the way I look, think, and interact with the world…. Drawing Drawing is fairly daunting. The level of talent within the art community ranges from people like me (novice), to the extreme maestros like Da Vinci or modern day artist Stan Prokopenko. The discrepancy between the artist bell curve is very dramatic. This makes people who lack raw talent...

Macro frui w/o 12/1 We are all a bit selfish, it’s human nature, but there’s one thing we can all do to become more selfless and that is… Giving without expecting anything in return. This time of year is amazing, it’s back to back holidays, filled with amazing friends and family. During this time of year, it's one of the few occasions where we show our appreciation towards each other expressed in the action of giving. Except, psychologically, we have become accustomed to receiving as well as...

Macro frui w/o 11/24 If there’s one thing that everyone can do to make the world a better place is for them to focus on… Growth. It’s actually pretty simple and easy to do. It requires having a belief in yourself that will take you further than you could have imagined. Here is my framework to growth and how if more people participated, it would naturally make the world a better place. 1. Take care of something special to you. Start with a plant. The key is to go into a shop and pick out your...

Book Club 1: Astoria by Peter Stark This is my book club collection.

Astoria You ever read or watch something that makes you question your entire existence. This book Astoria, by Peter Stark has done that for me. I have an obsession for history, but this one takes the cake for one of the more interesting books I have ever read. I grew...
