Episode: #47 Sunjeev Prasad on using your style to tap into your true potential

Who: Today's guest is Sunjeev Prasad (@jeevsxxiv), the founder of Street Gentleman, who helps ambitious men feel more confident, by teaching them how to dress well and know what is stylish. As he states 'The goal is to ultimately make men feel confident and empowered. Men's style happens to be the vehicle for achieving this. When you look great, you feel great, and when you feel great that translates into performing great -- both in the workplace and in your personal life.'

In this interview, we discuss fashion, style and how to use both to tap into your true potential in all aspects of your life.
