While not 100%, another Andy I needed….Its all in the mindset Stop telling yourself the BS story that it’s harder for you. That everybody else who became successful had it easier… That they had better circumstances… Better connections… More money… More opportunities… And you’re the one who got dealt the crappy hand. It’s BS. Millions of people have built the life you want from circumstances far worse than yours. They had problems. They had setbacks. They had disadvantages. They had every reason in the world to make excuses too. They just didn’t. The difference is they stopped wasting time convincing themselves why they couldn’t… And started figuring out how they could. Your ego wants you to believe your situation is different because that story protects you from having to face the truth: You aren’t where you want to be because you haven’t done what’s required to get there yet. That’s it. Stop making your circumstances special. Stop making your excuses special. Stop telling yourself you’re the exception. You’re not. Other people have figured it out. You can too. But first… You have to stop believing your own BS. ~ Andy Frisella

I have been interviewing lately for senior level executive positions and it seems like nobody is wearing ties any more. Is that a thing? Just dress shirts and jacket but no tie?

Do any of you guys use a cravat? And if so, when and where?

Another day in Scotland at the Talisker whisky tour. Wore my Orvis flannel shirt on a cold wet day. But still no comparison to coolness of the guy behind me at the little inn where we had lunch. Wearing his waders with a tweed tie Tattersall shirt and a tweed Gillet. He just finished a trip as a guide flyfishing for salmon with a Spey Rod (fly fisherman will get this). Of course he is with his dog at the little Inn Pub.

Hi all, Because my nose is mostly broken (for smelling - not structurally), I tend to prefer parfum level concentrations on my fragrances. I went to Nordstrom to get my first exposure to Green Irish Tweed (excellent!) in their only concentration: EDP. I have also had EDP of Wild Vetiver. Does anyone known if either of these come as parfum concentrations vs. EDP? If so, are the smells similar but just stronger or something rather different? Thank you!
