We are taking the show on the road once again and headed to Project Show in Las Vegas, NV where we look to link up with a ton of great up and coming and established brands. Stay tuned to learn more about these brands and also - how and why you need to advertise on a podcast for greater exposure (or on this show for that matter). Podcasting is a great opportunity and Denis and Richard explain why.... Then we are joined by Marques Ogden, a former NFL player that won big on the field and then turned that into a multi million dollar construction company! Then - guess what? He lost it all! Marques began working as a janitor for $8.50 an hour when a light went off in his head. He could turn it around... but how? Find out how he did that and what it took to go from the highs, to the lows and back again - working with Fortune 500 companies!   Lastly, we highlight an amazing entrepreneur in menswear that has been featured everywhere, including the NY Times! Yosel Tiefenbrun drops by and tells us how he got started

What do you think 2020 has in store as far as fashion? Rich and Denis Styles give their best predictions and also discuss a new business venture that you may want to be part of - custom suits! It's time that you went custom. Then we are joined by Chris Burns, a menswear style and image specialist who talks about what it's like living and growing up in a smaller city and loving men's fashion. People sometimes judge, criticize and don't understand - the small town guys desire to look his best. Lastly, Glen aka Mr. Cologne pops in and educates us about fragrances. The information he gives is equivalent to a college course.  If you like to smell good, but aren't sure what will work for you, where to apply it and everything in between - pull up a seat as we get schooled by a true connoisseur.
