A lighter is one of those things you want to carry around even if you’re not a smoker. Not that the apocalypse is upon us but fire is a key element when it comes to any survival situation. There are myriad uses for a lighter so it’s good to keep one on you. And, if you’re going to, you might as well take that Bic and dress it up a bit.
PS. The month is more than halfway over so take advantage of the reduced price on Basic Consultations before they go back up.

I’m working on a consultation right now for a man who runs with both a creative SWPL and a blue-collar crowd. He has to be able to come up with artful, attractive ideas and then build them himself as well. It’s been a fun consultation thus far as his situation is pretty unique and challenging.
One of the things I’ve found for him is something that can be used for almost any man who wants to mix white and blue-collar worlds together.
It’s still a briefcase and is aesthetically pleasing and it’s a carpenters bag that’s made of durable materials you’re not afraid to throw tools or books into or leave lying in the dirt for a few hours while you work. The blue is deep enough not to pop and it allows the leather to do so.

While this advice applies to any man, I’m specifically talking to those of you who will be entering a completely new situation this Fall – whether that’s going to college for the first time, starting an internship or new job, or moving to a new high school. As humans we tend to take our time and feel out the water first before we really dive in to any situation. I understand the philosophy behind it, but there’s a more masculine way to handle things.
When you head to your first day of class/the new job/that internship go in like a shark into a school of fish. I’m not a blank-slater but I do believe that the majority of people are inherently good. That being said, I also believe that the majority of people are happy and content being a fish who fits in with the rest of the school. It seems our world is continuing to value uniformity and safety more than uniqueness and freedom and this just makes the contrast of a shark that much more apparent.
You will have people who resent you. Being a shark will win you friends and respect but it will also get you enemies and hatred. You have to be willing to handle both. A fish in the middle of a school doesn’t have either – he just is. I don’t fault people for taking that route, but this site is geared towards men who want to be the shark.
For me the hardest thing about being the shark is that there is no time off. He can’t turn into a fish when he’s lazy or doesn’t feel up to hunting because he’s already established himself as the shark. It’s an all or nothing situation and you have to commit to it. But, if you’re up for it, the rewards are so much more than you’d ever get by just fitting in at school.

Green suede and a rich, brown, pebbled leather. These are awesome.
