Co-Founder, Partner, Gentleman’s Digest
The Thought
“The concept was very simple. We found that the modern Gentleman, as an idea, is ungrounded. It has been eroded, materialized, sensationalized, cheapened by fashion conglomerates, and lost in literary history. We wanted to find that idea and bring it back in a way that is simple, helpful and educational.”
