Today’s episode is a bit different from my typical format, and one I’m very excited about. Rather than revisiting an old post, I wanted to bring on a man whose writings and discussions on masculinity have had a massive impact on my own understanding of what it means to be a man. There’s some NSFW language on here, so if you’re listening to it at the office, pop in some headphones.

Going a bit backwards today and not doing an episode that covers a style-related topic. One of the more common questions I get asked is how I got into writing about style and working in the menswear industry. So today I’m putting it all out there – my background, my path towards the blog, etc.

No Icons or Embarrassments for this episode. We’ll be back to our regular structure next time out.

In today’s episode I revisit the article The First Step. As is now the usual, I back up what I still agree with and correct what I don’t. I also include some ideas for casual shoes appropriate for all thee of the Masculine Archetypes.

As part of each episode, I discuss an Icon and Embarrassment. They are examples who typify both the good and the bad of the topic being discussed.
