In this episode, Bruno Falcone speaks with Philip South about meeting at a large US event and how a five-minute conversation led to recording a podcast, emphasizing entrepreneurs who say yes to opportunities. They explore networking dynamics using a “lions and gazelles” analogy, the role of first impressions, and how personal presentation can lower social barriers while authenticity and energy matter beyond clothing. Philip explains his focus on grooming and style as part of personal branding learned from his mother, and attributes his positive presence to gratitude, faith, and a conscious decision to leave a good impression. He describes leading in business with empathy, understanding others’ challenges, and leading by example.

They share “commandments” such as welcoming others, authenticity, curiosity, versatility, and intentional planning, including meal prep, scheduling, training, and rest. Philip recounts seeking tailoring due to his tall, athletic build and building a personal connection with his first tailor.

Bruno from House of Falcone interviews intimacy and sex coaches Katrina and James King about helping people improve sex and relationships through mindset, energy work, and practical communication. Katrina describes her “clear energy therapy” for removing limiting beliefs and shame, teaching clients to use sexual energy and multiple orgasms to enhance other life areas; James positions his approach between “woo” and hardcore kink, translating tools like negotiation, novelty, and deeper connection for everyday couples.

They discuss barriers to seeking help (fear of judgment, guilt, ego, lack of permission), rebuilding passion in long-term relationships, and practical tips like nonjudgmental conversations, sex-toy shop dates, daily appreciation, love languages, journaling, and James’s 4-2-1-2 communication exercise. They also address porn, open marriages, role play, toys, power dynamics, grooming/style, and taking responsibility for personal healing.

Bruno Falcone, founder of House of Falcone talks about building a luxury menswear brand focused on Italian craftsmanship at accessible prices. Bruno shares how his experience tailoring for Zegna, Canali, and Brioni inspired him to travel across Italy, meet artisans, and partner with a three-generation factory using precision cutting and extensive handwork. He describes shifting from product-focused to people-focused service, defining the brand as “opportunity” by helping clients be seen and make strong impressions. Bruno recounts how a suit tailored by his grandmother sparked his confidence and his belief that style influences perception.

He explains custom design through color, style, and fit, remote AI body-scanning for accurate measurements, fabric innovations, and personalized jacket linings, including pieces made for Tommy Hilfiger and Tonino Lamborghini, and notes expansion into women’s suiting led by his wife Angela.

Today, we chat with Damon Davis, to discuss his backgrounds and the mindset behind success.

He shares lessons from his adoptive father’s rise from poverty to a multimillion-dollar exit followed by financial collapse, and from his mother’s mental illness and loss of assets, motivating him to invest, protect assets, and build legacy.

Bruno recounts a difficult upbringing, a turning point while working as a barista, and later building a tailoring brand using AI measurements. They discuss curiosity, continuous learning, health, presentation, and speed of implementation.

In this episode, Bruno speaks with relationship and sex/intimacy coach Barbara Cole Salmeron, who explains how years of failed relationships led her to study with mentor Alison Armstrong, improve her communication with men, and build a 10-year relationship with her husband. She works with singles and couples to help men and women understand each other, emphasizing inner work, personal responsibility, mindset, and how unhealed trauma fuels projection and repeated patterns (e.g., a client with a “rescuer” pattern after two similar marriages).

Barbara discusses sex and intimacy differences, including men as “microwaves” and women as “ovens,” the role of foreplay, touch for fuller orgasms, and how resentment, criticism, and unmet needs affect desire. She recommends the Five Love Languages, normalizes topics like masturbation, sex toys, ethical non-monogamy, role play, and BDSM consent/safe words, and advocates releasing guilt and shame from societal programming.

Bruno from House of Falcone sits down with Karl Schwantes from Xennox Diamonds for a long-overdue conversation — and it lands like a masterclass in business, trust, and customer experience.

Kyle shares what it’s like to grow up in a European family business (he was making rings at 14), what it means to hit 50 years in business, and why true excellence is never “good enough” — it’s a standard you build, protect, and pass down.

They dive deep into:

• How Google Reviews became a million-dollar lead engine — without paid ads
• Why trust is the metric Google (and customers) are really measuring
• The power of systems: documenting your genius so your team can deliver it every time
• How to create unforgettable “multi-sensory” experiences (yes… even down to the whisky glass)
• The mindset behind being overdressed, intentional, and magnetic in any room
• Kyle’s core values for business and life: authenticity, integrity, intention, and generosity
• Why networking is broken — and how Kyle’s Curated Circle flips it into high-level, high-impact connection

It’s a conversation about craftsmanship, reputation, leadership, and legacy — with practical gold nuggets for any entrepreneur who wants to stop chasing the market… and start creating it.

What does “zero to hero” really look like behind the Instagram highlight reel?

In this episode of Threads of Success, Bruno Falcone (House of Falcone) sits down with Ivan Presquito, the CEO & Director of Elegant Kiwi Homes (New Zealand), for a raw conversation about resilience, reinvention, and building real success the hard way.

Ivan shares his migrant journey from the Philippines to New Zealand (arriving February 1, 2011, just days before the Christchurch earthquake), the reality of starting over, and the grit it took to go from washing dishes and walking 8–10km in winter… to becoming a property developer and business leader with a powerful giving-back mission.

They break down:

• Why “overnight success” is a myth (and what hard work actually looks like)
• The mindset shift from “I can’t afford it” to “What’s the ROI?”
• How Ivan and his wife built a competitive advantage using finance + construction + property law
• The 4-person “dream team” you need to win in property: accountant, lawyer, mortgage broker, and mentor
• Property investing basics: leverage, population growth, and long-term strategy
• Mentorship, humility, and why staying “the dumbest in the room” helps you grow faster
• Why dressing well impacts performance: “Look good, feel good, do good.”

Plus—Ivan explains why he trusted Bruno with a custom suit made from quick measurements in LA… and how style becomes a byproduct of who you are, not a mask you wear.

If you’re an entrepreneur, investor (or future investor), or someone rebuilding your life from scratch—this one will shift your perspective.

What happens when you stop trying to look like a “model” and start letting real women feel seen?

In this episode of Threads of Success, Bruno Falcone (House of Falcone) sits down with Rebecca Pask, founder of Barr Body Swim (and the woman behind Pask Media) to talk confidence, community, and what it really takes to build a fashion brand from the ground up.

Rebecca shares the moment that sparked her annual Community Shoot + Empowerment Day a text message from a woman who admitted she unfollowed Rebecca out of jealousy… then came back. That one message turned into a movement: everyday women stepping in front of the camera, feeling pampered, supported, and leaving “10 inches taller”.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

• Struggled with body image or confidence (even if you look like you’ve got it all together)
• Felt invisible in your 30s, 40s and beyond
• Wanted to build a brand with meaning (not just products)
• Battled imposter syndrome and self sabotage as an entrepreneur
• Wondered how personal brand impacts sales, trust, and growth

Bruno also shares his own behind the scenes journey: rebuilding from scratch, working as a barista while building House of Falcone, and how style can change how the world treats you.
