Your Weekly Flo 🌊

Edition 2

One for the Stack

The Flo Letter is where creative business owners find flow again—calm systems for growing businesses without the overwhelm.

You're smart & creative

You don't need more advice

What you need is mental white space

A path through the chaos of your own mind

For visionaries drowning in their own brilliance

🪬 Quick Insight

In a world where tools democratize creation, the curator becomes as important as the creator.

Your taste - that ineffable quality that helps you recognize what resonates deeply rather than superficially - becomes your competitive advantage.

Ask yourself:

Good taste, to me, looks like _______ and sounds like _______.

šŸ¤– AI Prompt

Tell me something incredibly special or unique you've noticed about me, but you think I haven't realized about myself yet.

It doesn’t have to be something positive and you don’t have to be nice to me, just be truthful.

šŸ“Š Tactic I’m Testing

A new way to vibe code.

Using claude and v0 for the front end. Instead of Cursor I’ll be using Replit agent.

🧠 This Week’s Big Idea

After five years of writing, I'm finally developing a systematic approach that works with my AI collaborators—while still preserving what makes my voice uniquely mine:

  1. Free write for flow (human-only territory)

    • Let thoughts emerge without judgment

    • Capture raw material without concern for structure

  2. Extract core concepts (perfect for AI assistance)

    • Identify the seeds worth developing further

    • Ask: "What's actually interesting here?"

  3. Expand through connection (collaborative human+AI work)

    • Link to other domains and mental models

    • Find the unexpected relationships between ideas

🐄 Tweet of the Week

🧵 From the Depths

ā€œThat’s what a great framework does. But in order for it to work, it has to hit two key criteria:

  1. It has to be digestible.

  2. It has to be actionable.

What do I mean by digestible?

You should be able to look at it and immediately understand what’s going on. It should be visual, intuitive, and clear.ā€šŸ‘‡šŸ»

Until next week,
