What does it mean to be a gentleman? Host Anthony Buntyn sits down with Luis Maia. Luis is a Portuguese-born ancient history PhD based in Wales, and a fellow member of the Society of Ordinary Gentlemen. They talk about:
- Dressing with intent, and how a first blazer changed the way Luis saw himself
- Why being a gentleman goes beyond style to manners, integrity and keeping your word
- Building confidence and staying humble while overcoming shyness and a speech impediment
- Being a role model, and why Luis encourages young people to travel and study abroad
- Balancing work, study, family and relationships
- Luis's book recommendation: In Praise of Folly by Erasmus of Rotterdam
