Guyset

Hi guys! Welcome to the new official day for Guyset episodes, TUESDAY.

For this very special occasion, I'm launching a brand new part of the podcast, conversations with guys in their 20s. Since I want this to be the guy's guide to what should be talked about in your 20s, it's important to get a breadth of perspectives from, well, guys in their 20s.

My experience only encapsulates that of one guy in their 20s. There are so many other stories and perspectives that need to be spotlighted to create this broader resource guide for guys in their 20s.

I'm starting this with my friend Patrick Kelly, who has a pretty different experience than me right now. He decided to go to grad school and move back home after college which is something a lot of people do, we just aren't talking about it. I wanted to bring him on to hear about his experience living at home after college to give advice to other guys in a similar situation, he's got some great stuff to say!

On Monday night, I got an update on my phone that Angus Cloud passed away at 25 years old. If you don't know who that is, he played Fez on Euphoria, and if you don't know who that is, he played one of the most popular characters on one of the biggest HBO shows in the past few years.

He was 25 years old. I'm 23. I have lots of friends that are 24 and turning 25. This was a powerful reminder that mental health needs to be talked about, especially for guys in their 20s because it's simply something we don't talk about enough.

I talk about why I think that is, the reason I started journaling this year, and how it's affected my life for the better.

Use this as a reminder to check in on yourself, answer the question "how are you" honestly, and check in on your friends and family.

This episode is dedciated to him.

See you next TUESDAY.

This week on Guyset: Ben Birnbaum (co-founder of two businesses Terawatt and Keyframe) talks about the importance of having a differentiated perspective in order to stand out in networking and in your job, his first position, not knowing what you want to do out of college, and his advice for getting started. He mentions that it took him seven months of bad business plans with his cofounders before they found success.

Even if you aren't interested in what he does particularly, which I'll admit is way out of my league, stay for his career advice, it's really solid. We talk about when to know it's time to leave a job, the importance of writing things down, goal setting, and so much more. His advice is tangible and accessible to anyone at any level.

This episode is your comprehensive guide to going on a first date. I talk about everything from what to say in the text asking to go out and picking a day and time to hyping yourself up before, what to wear, and what to talk about on the date (this is what I was most worried about when first going on dates).

When I first thought of the idea for this podcast, this was one of the big topics I was looking for and couldn't find. I wanted to hear more advice and real perspectives from guys in their 20s about dating and relationships and I'm so excited that I feel confident enough to share my perspective on it now after a year of giving it a shot. As dumb as it sounds, I'm proud of this one and hope you take some good things away from it.

This episode is really detailed and goes deep into a lot of different topics around a first date so check out the time stamps below if you're only interested in certain topics. I can almost guarantee there's going to be at least one thing in this episode for you if you're currently dating, going on dates, or thinking about starting soon (or just want to learn more and hear about dating in your 20s).

Timestamps

1:53 Mindset going into a first date

4:55 Picking a day for the first date

5:53 Where to go/ what to do on the first date
