Malc 'n Beans

You hear that..? The bean man’s baaaack!

Between a creative funk & a family trip I needed some time to breathe… 152 dives into the cycles of trends, talent & culture, with a side of that good ol fashion beeeeans love

💭 Just got back from London, Barcelona & Mallorca with my family, congrats to my brother & sister in law Tauni & Edgar for getting married!

💭 I’m here to provide value, I LOVE my people

💭 Appreciate all of you Mendid family members supporting, LIVING & pushing the brand

💭 Grateful for all of the amazing humans on the Mendid team

💭 My mind & heart are still blown by having one of my best friends, Jeremy McGrath be part of the Mendid family

💭 Nostalgia is everywhere right now…

💭 Kids are living out experiences we had, whether styles, culture, music, slang…

💭 Dreams don’t just peak, they resurge

💭 Tony Hawk always comes to mind when talking about dreams resurging… Not many understand how bad it got when vert skating took a dip

💭 Not everyone’s gonna understand your dreams but keep striving & detailing it

💭 Grateful for the positive feedback on the Mendid gear & briefs, we’re just getting started…

💭 Loooots of fresh Mendid stuff on the way

💭 Passionately diving into what raised me & giving it a twist through Mendid

💭 No matter your age, live in the present with the influence of the past

💭 Love seeing the resurgence of No Fear, the team I was blessed to help launch

Remember, it’s okay to hit funks, sometimes you simply need to stop back & remind yourself to breathe.. We’re all humans & we all need a reset sometimes 🫡

Feeling overwhelmed & pulled around by the pressures of life? You’re not alone… 152’s a transparent look into my own struggles & efforts to balance it all out

💭 Pressure creates an opportunity to better understand & balance your time

💭 I personally hold more pressure than I should 

💭 Make the choice to be good with where you’re at

💭 Celebrate every win

💭 Finding purpose & meaning is an ongoing challenge

💭 Stressing hinders you from enjoying the process in between

💭 We’re always searching for balance, but do we let ourselves down when we don’t have it?

💭 Life moves fast…

💭 The amount of work that goes into pursuing your dreams that nobody else sees

💭 Weight & overload happens… There’s not a one size fits all answer, but I encourage you to breathe through it all

💭 Everything keeps adding up but I’m always grateful & appreciative for the journey

💭 Make the choice to persevere & push consistently through any struggles

💭 Props to the whole @mendidmx squad for crushing it this weekend, the work done behind the scenes will always pay off

Today I’m encouraging everyone to make the choice to keep striving & thriving. If you committed to something, follow through & stay consistent. If you’re facing any health challenges, prayers always… Remind yourself to breathe & trust in the fact that you’ve got this!

150 is a special one… This is our first special request beans, brought in by my boy Jeff Bell

If there’s a topic you want me to touch on because it’s strong on your heart, let me know! I’ll either show the love back & include your name, or you can stay anonymous

Let’s diiiiive in!

💭 So much love for Jeff Bell: Longtime friend crushing it with Kyle Krause on Fast Frends, Dad is McGrath’s best friend Scott Bell

💭 Use fatigue as a weapon to push after what you love

💭 You’re fatigued, but WHY?

💭 Fatigue’s way worse when there’s not a why

💭 Are you fatigued because of health? Spiritually? Working too hard? Doing something you don’t love?

💭 Are you fatigued for the right reasons? If you are, keep pushing & going after your dreams

💭 I’m completely fatigued in a good way.. I believe so much in Mendid & my agency where we help people create brands & help make their dreams come true

💭 Working with amazing companies like Razor as the extended arm to something that helps inspire so many through their fun rides

💭 I’m coming on 25 years of chasing my dream to ideate & pioneer this category and culture around underwear that’s still THRIVING

💭 Inspired by how much fatigue guys like Jett Lawrence, McGrath, Usain Bolt & Michael Phelps have endured by striving to be the best in their lane

If you’re feeling fatigued, look at WHY. If there’s not a solid reason why, pause, breathe, think about it & get yourself together because it’s time to start living…

There’s gonna be trials & tribulations that will sharpen your sword & give you the perspective needed to say in the end YOU did

First off, massive thanks to my daughter Rilyn for this amazing hat 🔥 149 spills on the importance of starting & not blocking out what’s in front of you in search of something or somebody ‘better’

💭 Starting is half the battle

💭 Once you start you see what does & doesn’t work

💭 Commitment x consistency

💭 When a friend wants to help you unselfishly, take advantage of that but don’t take advantage of them

💭 My agency Initial Friends — “The initials of your closest friends who unselfishly help people accomplish their dreams”

💭I never wanted to have an agency, just wanted to figure out how I can use mine & my friend’s gifts to help others

💭 I love working with my close friends, helping others accomplish their dreams from branding to business, culture, storytelling…

💭 No matter your age, having joy is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself

💭 A line from Caleb Gordon I’ll never forget: “Don’t block your blessings because you’re blocking mine”

💭 There’s no better reward than being able to give with gratitude

💭 How can you utilize your skills to help others?

💭 From global clients to startups, I’m on the phone everyday because I wanna help people win

💭 Reminiscing on customizing clothes with paint pens at Dew Tour with Sheckler

💭 I can build a brand from ideation to launch in my sleep & I love doing it

💭 I’ve learned so much through my struggles

💭 My formula: Find great people & believe in them

💭 The word helps me understand it wasn’t meant to be easy but to embrace the process

If you're diving into books & podcasts to prepare for your next big move, remember to do 2 things: BREATHE & just start… you'll be glad you did 💯

It’s easy to get lost in earthly things, especially living in a world that’s always used metrics to tell us who’s ‘better’ than one another. I’m kicking today off with a quick question… Are you gonna let the word lead you, or the metrics?

💭 To each their own, but I lead from the word rather than the metrics

💭 Metrics have pulled us apart but the word has always pulled us together

💭 Metrics can be amazing if they’re applied to the gift that only you have

💭 Joy is the best supplement you can take

💭 Without a foundation you can accomplish goals & wonder why you feel the same

💭 Becoming mendid is a community-led principle about finding your own foundation & building life verticals that are important to you

💭 The journey allows you to sharpen your sword & understand your gifts

💭 If you lean on the metrics you might get pigeon holed into feeling like you’re not good enough

💭 It’s okay to mess up

💭 If I can make it, anybody can

💭 There’s so many types of ‘smart’ out there

💭 School judges you off your logic or ability to read, creating tests that place you according to THEIR standards

💭 Fix, don’t point

💭 Judging is the easiest thing to do

💭 Judgement comes from a lack of fulfillment & unaddressed pain

💭 Open your gift & let it fix you

💭 Metrics can take away our gifts

I’m encouraging you to seek out JOY today… No matter what you’re going through, it’s there.. Find it & don’t let anybody take it away 💪

147 explores the relentless thirst for more… More purpose, drive, meaning… Whether you're chasing dreams, overcoming hardships, or seeking your purpose, it’s all about breaking free, embracing the journey & continuing to thirst for what’s next

💭 Thirst for more but have patience…

💭 Becoming mendid is all about thirsting for more

💭 Without a foundation it’s easy to crumble

💭 Thirst again — there’s still more to come

💭 It’s hard to find purpose without drive, motivation & momentum

💭 Thirst again after hardships

💭 If you’re stressing you might be trying to force the blessing & the great outcome of something

💭 Life is an ongoing process

💭 We need to break our ways

💭 Become & don’t hold yourself back

💭 You don’t have to have all the answers

💭 Stop comparing & make sure you’re taking the right steps to become better

💭 If you have a body you have the ability to thirst

💭 It’s crazy how much 1 breath REALLY opens up

💭 Matt Buyten: Chased his passion, found his bigger dream of fatherhood, faced paralysis & continues to find blessings amid adversity

I just wanna see everybody win, & winning is a byproduct of FIGHTING & thirsting for more… Here’s to seeking out new beginnings with thoughtful purpose & passion ✌️

If you’re stressin you’re probably trying to force the blessin… Read that again & let it soak in

💭 God’s got a big plan for you, don’t force yours over his

💭 If you’re forcing anything you probably won’t get the result you want

💭 Pause, slow down & enjoy the moment, that’s when the art comes out

💭 The blessing of art, accomplishment & craft lies in the process

💭 You can tell when an athlete or musician is in the zone, free from stress, as their gift shines fully

It’s Sunday… Take this day to breathe, relax & set yourself up to let your blessings lead ✌️

145 dives deep into a topic that’s been on my mind lately… Thought

Not just a single thought, but the practice of deeper thinking, being intentional with my actions & striving to be a thoughtful leader in every area of life

💭 A thoughtful leader considers every step in the process & understands that their actions can deeply affect others

💭 It’s important that you put a level of thoughtfulness into everything you do

💭 Say the right thing, get served the right thing

💭 Building culture, brands & categories are byproducts of being thoughtful

💭 Use hard times as tools to sharpen your sword

💭 It’s not about being perfect, it’s about taking steps to become better

💭 I’m focusing on becoming a thoughtful leader & empowering others to do the same

💭 Thoughtfulness is the key that opens doors

💭 Thought is movement, movement sparks momentum

💭 Thoughtfulness is the ongoing practice of doing what you love with intention & care

Today I encourage you to take a moment to breathe & reflect on how you can bring more thoughtfulness into your life. Trust me, the ripples will be worth it… 🫡

I’m going after my dreams again & people probably think I’m delusional… But is that a bad thing? 144’s a deep spill on the gift of delusion

💭 I used to think delusional was a ‘bad’ word

💭 Delusional is only delusional until it becomes

💭 Unless you’re losing it in a crazy direction, delusion is a beautiful thing

💭 2 of the most delusional minds of all time: Steve Jobs & Elon Musk

💭 At one point people probably told Tony Hawk he’s delusional to think he’d have a career in skateboarding

💭 The world can try to shut you down, but don’t shut yourself down

💭 Love seeing how many people Malc n Beans is helping

💭 Malc n Beans is just a session to put out good daily bells & whistles on things I’ve grown through

💭 Sometimes you have to stay a lil delusional to change the way things are done

💭 From a kid to wanting to build a global underwear company, I’ve been told I didn’t fit in my whole life

💭 Although people backed my dream of creating a global underwear company, they thought I was delusional

💭 Me opening up a new category in Zumiez & Tilly’s was a complete delusional vision that I fought for

💭 The hardest part was building the culture from 2001-11… Grateful for the OG believers Ryan Sheckler, Carey Hart, Travis Pastrana, The Game, Lil Jon, & so many others…

Today I encourage you to get a little delusional, optimistic, open minded… Even though doors may shut, they’re shutting because you may be paving a lane that doesn’t even exist yet

In the end WE did 🫡

If you’re chasing the bag you’ll feel the drag.. If you’re chasing what’s right you’ll feel the light. Let’s diiiive in!

💭 It’s not bad to chase the bag, but when I’ve chased it with no foundation of what feels right, it’s never worked out in the long run

💭 I wanna see everyone get that bag but I wanna see them feel the light 

💭 The true power of our gut, the most insane thing in the world

💭 The curse of “just one more”

💭 I was crafted by trials & tribulations, don’t let them scare you…

💭 The values I learned from my cousin Kelli & her perseverance after getting diagnosed with leukemia at 16 

💭 Are you happy with where you’re going?

💭 Are you ruled by entitlement or light?

💭 A degree doesn’t make you, your craft & light makes you

💭 BELIEF.

💭 Keep going with what feels right

💭 I believe in the ripple effect of seeing good & spreading light

💭 I’ve been told I “can’t” my whole life

💭 My ever-growing dream of healing the world one person at a time

💭 Chase the light, but don’t get stepped on

💭 Opportunity comes when you start to LIVE your light

💭 Becoming mendid is all about finding those verticals that are so important to you.. For me it’s faith, family, health

Take a moment today to breathe & ask yourself: Does what you’re chasing feel right? Does it make your heart beat differently? 

If it doesn’t, it’s time to pull the e-brake & reevaluate. We’re built for more & that missing extra pulse is often what keeps us from where we’re meant to be ✌️
