It's been awhile since we came out with an episode on style or fashion. It was episode eight a long time ago, that was with Luke Storey. It was an amazing episode. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should go and read it. I don't think of myself as having a lot of fashion sense. I did not dress well a decade ago. I didn't know any better. I rely heavily on my wife and also we rely on stylists for things like closet cleanses, outfit combinations, buying new items. A lot of times we’ll buy stuff on our own, but we also will do big buys with our stylist. This topic may seem superficial to some of you. It does feel good to look stylish and to feel you have some competence in this area. It helps in business. It helps if you're dating. It's definitely something worth reading.
