Masculine Style

On today's show I bring on my friend Goldmund Unleashed.

Goldmund is a photographer, author, and all-around interesting vagabond who's lived more life in the past few years than the majority of men will experience in a decade.

In our conversation we discuss how his style has evolved, what it does for him as an artist and an introvert, and how he's leveraged it to better success in his endeavors.

Whether you like Nike's latest ad with Colin Kaepernick, you can learn a lot from how Nike chooses to court controversy, embrace polarization, and unapologetically brand itself.

All of which are components to dressing better than average.

In this episode I step away from the moral outrage of the ad itself and talk about the principles of branding and you can apply them in your own life.

Myke Macapinlac was a shy immigrant who used to work a boring engineering job and became a talk show host, a social dynamics specialist, and a lifestyle entrepreneur. He now teaches shy guys to develop social confidence so they can succeed in their personal, romantic, and professional lives. His work has been featured in the Calgary Herald, on Breakfast Television, on Shaw TV, and in the Huffington Post. To get to know him personally, visit his website at www.socialconfidencemastery.com

In May 2018, Fortnite, a free-to-play video game, generated $318 Million dollars in revenue from in-game purchases.

What separates them from all the other games following a similar structure is that the purchases had absolutely zero impact on game play - no extra lives, special moves, or power weapons.

Every purchase was for purely cosmetic purposes.

In today's episode I break down the three things the players are signaling to themselves and each other with these cosmetic changes, why those signals are hard-wired into our brains, and how you can do the same thing in your real life for much better results.

In this episode I talk with Greg O'Gallagher from Kinobody, Manny De La Cruz from Well Built Style, and Nate Lewis from Iron & Tweed.

All three are very well dressed and in great shape.

We discuss their own struggles with finding clothes that fit, why they care about their clothes, what their gym style looks like, and their take on wearing gym clothes around town.

All three bring a great perspective to the table and have a lot of valuable insight to offer.

Time for season 2 of Masculine Style - a show in which we discuss the relationship between masculinity and appearance.

This episode breaks down the reasons why men assume they should dress in a way that attracts women, why that's wrong, and the differences between men's goals and women's goals in how we dress. See the show notes here: http://masculine-style.com/?p=8867&preview=true

This episode discusses both the mechanics of dressing well while carrying a firearm, along with the reasons I personally choose to carry a weapon. I understand that this is a controversial subject and one that can lead to a heated discussion in the comments. I don't need to defend myself. I may engage in a few comments to clarify some confusion, but I have no interest in engaging in an online battle about gun control. As part of today's episode I brought on Antonio Centeno of Real Men Real Style. Antonio is a former officer of the USMC and the resident style author for the Art of Manliness. He runs a popular and helpful YouTube channel and is also one of the founders of StyleCon. See the show notes here: http://masculine-style.com/podcast-episode-11-dressing-the-armed-man/

This episode breaks down why some of the best sartorial icons in modern cinema are not the heroes, but the villains. I talk about the top three best-dressed villains in all three of the Style Archetypes and provide contrast between this concept and an older post about not dressing like a cartoon character.

This episode was based on a revisitation of my September 2012 post Dressing the (Smaller)Man. Being as I'm six feet tall, I can only approach this topic from a hypothetical perspective. So I decided to bring on two of my good friends who are both style experts and on the shorter end of the spectrum. Aaron Marino runs I Am Alpha M (http://iamalpham.com/), a hugely popular men's style site and YouTube channel. Aaron puts out daily videos that cover topics like dress, grooming, and fitness and has one of the largest, most abundant personalities of anyone I've ever met. Brock McGoff runs The Modest Man (http://themodestman.com/), a menswear site dedicated entirely to helping men of shorter stature learn how to dress to their proportions and ensure that their style game is always on point. Brock puts his money where his mouth is and is one of the best dressed, most confident men I know. In the episode we cover topics like: Aaron and Brock's Archetypes How and why they both started caring about men's style The biggest challenges short guys face when trying to dress better How to have the right attitude when it comes to custom clothing Why being short is only one aspect of a man's physical presentation to the rest of the world Should short guys wear elevator shoes and other height-enhancing articles of clothing. Show notes can be found at: http://wp.me/p2nB1Z-2eX If you're sick of feeling like your clothes don't adequately express who you are, pick up my new course called Style as Storytelling. It uses examples that span both time and culture to demonstrate four key ways in which men have always used their appearance to improve their lives. http://masculine-style.com/product/st...
