The Modern Dandy's Guide to Manliness

Going on dates might seem a wistful ambition from the past, but the Dandies feel it's even more relevant now. Wes, Mudcat, Josh and Liam provide their thoughts on why dating is an important Dandy skill, how to be a good date, and why dates are not just for dating.

Having a sense of humor is an essential element of being a dandy. One of the most famous dandies, Oscar Wilde, was famed for both his scripted humor and  quick cutting wit. We're not even going to aspire to that ... but we do have jokes for days.

A death in the family, whether of a parent, sibling, grandparent, or close personal friend is one of the most traumatic experiences someone can face. With the recent death of Liam's mother, the Dandies discuss how they deal with the passing of a close family member or friend.

Part 2 in our conversation with Rebecca Tweed; Wes, Mudcat, Liam and Rebecca continue to discuss how politics and society today are impacted by the ability (or lack thereof) to listen to each other and hold back preconceived notions and judgement based solely on party lines.

In our discussions on religion and politics the Dandies raised the importance of establishing your own credo - the principles you deeply believe. Part of that is respecting and being open to discuss the viewpoints of others, even if they don't necessarily match your own. Wes, Mudcat, and Liam are joined by Rebecca Tweed to discuss how this is playing out in politics and society today.

Even Dandies need to have an outlet for their foils and frustrations. So when and where is an appropriate time to lose your cool and go large* with your emotions? Josh, Mudcat and Wes discuss the need to venti and its importance in staying otherwise frappe, while Liam tries to take a more philosophical approach. 

* See what we did there?

In the face of so many global and national issues, individual contribution to change can seem overwhelming. So how can a Dandy do something to better the world they live in? Join the Dandies, Liam, Josh, Mudcat and Wes as they discuss the role of Local Government and how it impacts the world around you. 

Why is story-telling so important? Communication is so critical in all aspects of modern life, but the simple statement of facts in a chronological order would bore even the most analytical clerical worker.  Join The Modern Dandies Josh, Liam, and Wes as they explore the elements of authentic and effective story-telling in both personal and professional life

Mudcat and Liam warmly, if not begrudgingly, invite Wes to join the Southerners in a beloved conversation about breakfast.  What's your starter meal? Sweet? Savory?  How about a healthy pour of Bollinger (not a sponsor... yet) and Eggs Imperial?

They say there's three topics to never bring up in polite conversation: Politics, Religion, and Money. However what to "they" know, anyway? The Dandies discuss what's shaped their views on religion and how they see it fitting with being a modern man.
