Why Pete?
Iām so glad Kate Fitzsimons recommended Peter. The guy makes the best d*mn tortillas (Peteās Tortillas) and I needed a reminder to order more! Peter and I went to college together and like the start of all great college friendships we met atā¦.church.
Peterās Self-Description:
āIntroverted extrovert with too many hobbies and interests. Purveyor of heirloom corn tortillas, reader of books.ā
Peterās Recommendations
Written in their own wordsā¦
š Books:
Nonfiction: Chip Wars by Chris Miller. A well researched account of the microchip and its role in global economic and geopolitical developments over the last 50 years. If you are interested in technology, history or current events, you will get a lot out of this book.
Fiction: The Moviegoer by Walker Percy. Perhaps my favorite novel of all time. I am a sucker for Southern Literature, and I really related to the existential 'coming of age' themes Percy explores in this one.
š„ Digital Product: YouTube Premium
Easily worth double the 15 dollar monthly fee to me. No ads... download videos for plane travel... play content in background... so good.
šŖ Well-Being: Therapy
Nothing has impacted my personal and professional well being in a more profound way than finding a good therapist in my mid twenties. Shout out to my therapist, Michelle!
Finding a good therapist can be a huge pain and took me a few tries, but is well worth it if you are feeling stuck.
šµ Drink: Walker Brothers Kombucha
I am a big kombucha drinker and Walker Brothers out of Nashville Tennessee offers a low sugar, high quality product. My favorites are the Ginger and the Cucumber Melon.
š¼ Music: Andrew Duhon
Singer songwriter out of New Orleans that doesn't get nearly as much exposure as he deserves.
ā Travel: Paris
Paris is my favorite city in the world, and you will find me at Cafe du Flore most nights I am in the city with crĆØme brĆ»lĆ©e and a bottle of wine.
Thank you Peter!
