Sacawa and a guest discuss what it means to be a modern gentleman, exploring how dress, conduct, and character contribute to this ideal. They examine practical aspects of gentlemanly behavior including respect, attentiveness, phone etiquette, treating others with dignity, and online conduct, arguing that being a gentleman is more about mindset and actions than adhering to outdated fashion codes.
Key takeaways
