Why are men finding it harder to make friends and has Britain developed a problem with ambition?This week on the SL Man Podcast, Harvey and Tunde are joined by author, broadcaster and presenter Jack Guinness for a candid conversation about modern masculinity, male loneliness, personal style and what it really means to be successful.Jack shares his thoughts on why ambition can feel uncomfortable in Britain, why we should celebrate people who want more from life and how our attitudes towards success shape the way we see ourselves. The conversation also turns to male friendship, the realities of making meaningful connections as an adult and why finding your people matters more than ever.Elsewhere, Jack discusses creating ‘The Queer Bible’, the importance of understanding queer history and why representation and visibility are so important. He also reflects on the relationship between identity and personal style, from dressing for yourself rather than following trends to whether modern menswear is becoming too uniform. Expect honest opinions, plenty of humour and a thoughtful conversation about friendship, identity, ambition and finding confidence in who you are.Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signupTIMECODES:00:19 – Meet Jack Guinness: author, broadcaster & host of The Queer Bible02:21 – Jack's Queer podcast and the cultural moments that shape us06:21 – Male loneliness, adult friendships & finding your community11:08 – What we're loving: Netflix films, celebrity interviews & entertainment13:54 – Is it embarrassing to be ambitious?17:39 – Could classical music make London commuters happier?19:30 – The Elizabeth Holmes documentary everyone's talking about22:01 – Dilemmas: should you pretend to be surprised by your surprise birthday party?36:41 – The story behind The Queer Bible: queer history, identity & belonging41:00 – Jack's style rules: timeless dressing, fashion icons & men's fashion crimesLinksPANELHarvey James | https://www.instagram.com/harvjam/ Loafers | https://on.ltk.com/+vLd2d0Kpixes3d_gNyok5AJack Guinness | https://www.instagram.com/jackguinness/ Ralph Lauren Blazer (Similar) | https://on.ltk.com/+F5EViV-ahXWMsS-xIcqMVwLevis Jeans | https://on.ltk.com/+XMC8bDVwlZyjp4PvUbzi3ADrake’s Tie | https://on.ltk.com/+P9IdkCf9vfAz5TCYRXw1XwTunde Ogunsina | https://www.instagram.com/tundeogun/Men’s Baggy Jeans | https://on.ltk.com/+q3hidR8m1VXax6PCXBXMnQRiver Island T-shirt | https://on.ltk.com/+qrnhw4TvT9YfDIqZBAW2jwTimberland Boots | https://on.ltk.com/+BLyHD12jycjN4nDTrV7k7w Queerphoria with Jack Guinness | https://open.spotify.com/show/0c3MJLDA1vwz7Mh6U5Wn1e Le Chameau Wellington Boots | https://www.lechameau.com/products/mens-vierzon-jersey-lined-wellington-boot-oxbloodThe Fourteenth | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81908710The Further Adventures of Cliff Booth | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/82054606The Queer Bible | https://www.queerbible.com/East of Eden by John Steinbeck | https://www.waterstones.com/book/east-of-eden/john-steinbeck/david-wyatt/9780141185071 The Castle by Jon Ronsoon | https://www.waterstones.com/book/east-of-eden/john-steinbeck/david-wyatt/9780141185071com/book/the-castle/jon-ronson/9780241754771Murder in 68 | https://www.waterstones.com/book/murder-in-paris-68/edward-chisholm/9781800962675Dishoom Borough | https://www.dishoom.com/borough/Bayeau Tapestry Exhibition | https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/bayeux-tapestrySalman Toor: Someone Like You Exhibition | https://courtauld.ac.uk/whats-on/exh-salman-toor-someone-like-you/SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Serum | https://on.ltk.com/+5Lfj4D3kp3h1DpzdgE52QwSkinCeuticals SPF | https://on.ltk.com/+9Ih5UUzQSlBwo-XMGbNhWQWillow Smart Indoor Plant Sensor | https://on.ltk.com/+5BZVlr0se9oFhxMGfoaPpw
