Questions from the Live Audience [31:00] Do you help with women who want to help their men dress better?

Best thing you can do is introduce him to Ty and/or Ty’s content. A woman can help with fashion, but a man must take control of his own image. Ty teaches men to take control of their image first. Then, you can help him find and wear fashionable clothes that fit properly.

[33:15] What do you do when your body is transitioning?

• “You want to have clothes that fit the body you have now”
• Find the clothes you have that fit you best, and get them altered to fit you properly until your body can stabilize
• You never want to wear baggy clothes - subconsciously, it makes you look like you’re wearing someone else’s clothes
• People don’t know “the rules” of men’s clothing styles, but visually they can tell when you are breaking the rules because something just looks off

[37:05] Do you work with teens and young men to help them dress for success?

• In the process of building out the Well Dressed Academy membership site for people who do not want 1-on-1 coaching
• Young men can learn these skills early to help open doors
