I’m a pizza maker and the owner of a pizzeria. I inherited it as a gift, but with no experience at all, I had to jump in and learn fast — just to keep it alive. Becoming a pizza maker wasn’t just a job; it was a way to save something that really mattered.

Since then, I’ve passed this craft on to dozens of employees. What I teach doesn’t come from books — it comes from instinct and survival.

At its core, work is about survival. And when you truly feel that, that’s when you start to understand what work really means.
