Style and Masculinity with Tanner Guzy

Attaining true masculinity goes beyond just physical fitness. It involves harmonizing physical well-being with personal style through dressing. Clothing is not just functional attire but a medium for self-expression and communication. How you dress reflects your identity, values, and aspirations. By neglecting this aspect, you present an incomplete picture of yourself. Fathers and husbands should take pride in their appearance as role models, demonstrating respect and self-esteem, positively impacting their relationships and careers.

Join the conversation with your host, Paul Lyngso, as Tanner Guzy joins us for a candid conversation on style and masculinity. Tanner is a style and image consultant who empowers men to unlock their true potential by dressing well and projecting a confident, authentic image. He believes that in today's world, where first impressions matter more than ever, men must dress strategically to stand out and succeed in their business endeavors. Tanner's approach goes beyond simply picking out the right clothes; he helps men understand the psychology of style and how to use it to their advantage. His clients learn to dress in a way that reflects their unique personalities and aligns with their career goals, achieving a powerful and authentic presence that attracts opportunities and inspires others.
