6: George LaBoda | Menswear Influencer from GentsLounge.com

May 10, 2017

 
George LaBoda, world class menswear influencer, checked in to Studio 92 and we discussed all the things Gents Lounge is about and the exciting journey he’s been on as a Menswear influencer.
 
What Gents Lounge is about
George tells us his Ah Ha moment for creating Gents Lounge came while helping young YouTube stars edit their tv shows for Discovery Channel
Then he showed how doing the things he loved ended up in due time leading to money with patience.
He talked about what him and Blake Scott’s 12 hour video blog days look like.
Here’s where George talked about why promoting products you believe in and actually use, can lead to better brand relationships, and what you should do when the product you get doesn’t fit what you’re doing.
Then how convincing the more established brands that influencer marketing is what they should be getting on board with, and educating them on what they can do for that company has proven to be the most challenge so far.
We touched on how athletes and celebrities like Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are pushing the boundaries of style and still making it look well.
George gave an example on how sometimes people can confuse the advise they give as mandates instead of ideas to think about .Quick video on their thoughts on ripped jeans https://youtu.be/sNs4FIGu5jM
Then George made a quote I fully believe in here.. If you have a vision or a goal stick with it because everything takes time. It took Gents Lounge almost a year and a half just to get up to minimum wage!
