Did you know that when meeting someone for the first time, the first 30 seconds will determine whether you impress them or not? In fact, some scientists would even argue that within 7 seconds, someone will have already made a conclusion about you in their mind.

This suggests that you only get one shot at first impressions. Whether you're on a date, at work, an interview, school, or meeting new friends, you need to be able to make a good impression immediately to establish successful relationships.

Before diving into the how, let's first understand what first impressions are all about. It is the initial perception another person will have towards you based on your appearance, personality, style, and physical attributes.

Meeting new people can be a challenging and daunting experience, especially if one is an introvert. However, the ability to make a good impression is a vital skill that you need to possess because it can make or break your opportunities in life.

So many claim to be great listeners, but fail to actually listen to what’s being said, instead thinking of what they want to say next. Although we all fall victim to this at some point, there are a myriad of ways to practice a new kind of listening that’s more mindful of the other person and of ourselves.

This episode is intended to help you to be more present around others and ultimately have better conversations.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been working out in the same getup for years. Baggy t-shirt. Old mesh shorts. Beat up running shoes. You know, an outfit better suited to painting my house rather than going into public.

Recently, I picked up some new workout gear to keep up with my exercise routine. I didn’t think much about it, but bought whatever looked cool, had great reviews, and would be comfortable in the gym.

A funny thing happened. When my clothes fit at the gym, I felt way more confident. I had one of the best workouts of my life that day. That got me thinking. We know that exercise can boost confidence. But we don’t hear much about how confidence can boost your exercise.

10 GYM ESSENTIALS FOR MEN

Gentleman Within has put together a list of 10 gym essentials for looking good, feeling more confident, and getting the most out of your workout.

Whether you’re a weightlifter, crossfitter, runner, or Richard Simmons jazzercise fanatic, these 10 items will change the way you workout forever.

Here’s what guys should bring to the gym to ensure an optimal workout.

You may have seen the movie Kingsman in which the phrase “Oxfords not Brogues” is used as code words for their secret service. This implies that oxfords are the classier shoe. And technically they are, but there’s much more to it than that. And what about derbys anyway?

In this article we will discuss in-depth, 10 men’s dress shoe types:

Additionally, we’ll dissect the anatomy of the dress shoe and other shoe terms that all stylish men should know, courtesy of Esquire’s seminal The Handbook of Style.

And of course we’ll also breakdown the differences between the often confused oxfords, derbys and brogues.

Growth mindset is a term coined by American Psychologist Carol Dweck in her 2007 book, "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success". With this mindset we can navigate life and ultimately find success.

Today’s podcast explores the benefits of having a growth mindset, everyday examples and most importantly, practical tips on how to develop one.

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of mindsets; fixed mindset and growth mindset.

What is a Fixed Mindset?

A fixed mindset is referred to as the belief that everyone is born with traits like intelligence, creativity and certain talents that are "fixed" and cannot be learned or developed over time.

You are just born with it and that's how you are, but the problem is, it is very restricting and limits human potential (according to criticism by various researchers).

What is a Growth Mindset?

On the other hand, a growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through your effort and hard work. Our environment also plays a major role in shaping it.

Humans are flexible like that. My mind was blown when I learned about neuroplasticity — the concept that the brain, in response to the environmental triggers, is capable of modifying, changing and adapting both structurally and functionally throughout our lifespan.

As we wind our way into the cold months of the year in general, I find myself reaching increasingly towards a warming, darker cup of spirits instead of my usual clear summer sprightly drink; namely, for a whiskey and at that, probably a bourbon.

What Is Bourbon?

Bourbon is the only true American contribution to the wonderful world of booze. A distinct form of whiskey, it is barrel-aged and must be produced at least 51% from corn.

It has been distilled in this country, where it was created, since the 18th century and although it is associated with the South (particularly Kentucky) we can now easily find bourbons from all over the country.

Abridged History Of Bourbon

Common lore attributes the invention of bourbon to Elijah Craig (a Baptist minister!), whose name now graces a popular brand of bourbon, but this is entirely apocryphal.

What is important to know is that this was the product of many immigrants moving here from around the world and is a rich thread in the tapestry of this nation.

What Makes It Bourbon?

There are a great many legal requirements (see 27 CFR §5.22(b)(1)(i) for all of the gory details) for a bourbon but a few which we all see printed on labels which might change how you shop. Namely:

When shopping for bourbon, as I do all of the winter months, it’s useful to keep these distinctions and the different types of bourbon handy.

And now let's get into the best bourbons, all under $100.

What do you picture when you hear the word “class”?

If a man is described as “classy,” what would he look like in your mind’s eye?

Most of the time, gentlemen with slicked back hair and thousand-dollar suits from old Hollywood movies come to mind. But what makes those men so classy?

Class is all about poise. It’s the way you hold yourself and treat others that determines whether or not you have class, and whether or not you have class ultimately determines the way women will feel about you.

Do you want to captivate that woman you’ve had your eye on? Do you want to sweep her off her feet and impress her with your elegant charm? Well, these days, it all starts with a few well-planned texts.

Follow these 8 great tips to keep your text conversations calm, cool, and classy. You’ll be on your way to winning her heart in no time.

What does it mean to be a gentleman in 2021? Let us show you exactly how to be a gentleman in modern-day society — 51 ways to be exact.

There's lots of history on what it means to be a gentleman.

To some, it's defined by a man's style of dress. Others would say it's about chivalry; opening doors for a lady or picking up the tab on a date.

Today it means so much more.

Being a modern-day gentleman is about more than dressing the part. And it's about more than impressing the woman you're courting.

It's about compassion and treating others with respect. It's about doing the little things to make the lives of the people around you easier.

Being a gentleman today is about how a you contribute positively to the world.

A gentleman has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and education, but an even greater thirst to create and communicate the things he has learned to contribute to a greater good. This is what defines him.

The great thing is that by practicing regularly, it becomes a part of who he is. All that being said, here are my tips on what I feel makes up a modern-day gentleman.
