Woah hey Erin! I'm so glad you don't remember this haha 😂 I have nothing but warm, fond memories of you and your family. You all left a very positive impression on me (and my fam too). I hope you're all doing well!

@@BrockMcGoff The fond memories are mutual. My family is doing good. Peace & blessings to you and yours as well!

That "be around" rule brought back some happy memories. My family would spend several nights a week at our local diner. The older guys, who were mostly WW2 veterans, would sit around the bar (food bar, no alcohol) and have a great time. It was always the same guys and they were always happy! They really left an impression on me as a young boy. I'm 40 and classic diners still hold a special place in my heart.

Love your longer videos Brock!

Love your videos Brock!!

Really like the new style Brock! And the subject matter is quite new for your channel, big fan of that too! One more technique I would add is touch. Nothing complicated, just a good handshake or arm around the shoulder. I basically do it when it feels natural and not try to overthink it. I think it makes a big difference.

I'm glad you're doing a longer video again! 👍

Awesome, thank you!

That’s such a lovely video! Every tip there is so true and I think that at this day and age, the last tip is actually the most important and beneficial - yet tricky to implement at the social media era when people will prefer the comfort of home.

Love this new format Brock!

@@BrockMcGoff Very much! Loved the over-the-shoulder post-it note shots. Keep up the great work, sir!

you gave us 5 tips, not 6 l0l 1. when you're having a conversation with someone, don't talk about yourself, talk about them 2. smile, with your eyes+mouth, wait until they start talking to you 3. give a compliment, about appearance, but not something they cant easily change 4. be vulnerable (by either self deprecation, or asking for advice) 5. be around

I see what you did there with the opening story :)

One tip for vulnerability is to be open about the things you like unironically. Lots of people try to be cool/popular by trying to project the attitudes and interests they think they should, rather than the ones that they actually do. Its very refreshing to connect on things you really like and often bond over your enthusiasm, even if they don't share the same interest. Don't pretend to like sports or cars (or whatever) because thats a masculine hobby but if you do love sports (or cooking, or watches, of Taylor Swift etc...), talk about it with enthusiasm and without shame.

Solid, well written advice!

It’s interesting because, right as I was thinking about commenting that I liked your overhead Post-It shot (as I was watching your video), you made your remark about not being sure about the overhead Post-It shot. Regardless, I liked the Post-It shot 😉

Thanks! I’m going to be experimenting with different formats and shots for a while.

Late to this, but wanted to say, the arrangement of this post is all kinds of Wes Anderson amazing. Different to what we typically see, I feel like it will look just as good a decade from now as it does today. Great for such a timeless topic.

5:22 is an amazing easter egg because he’s being vulnerable with the viewer when he explains that

That shirt is great.

Love the almost cinematic-like style with this video! The tips are also really versatile and grounded in reality which is unfortunately not common enough in most social advice videos. Great stuff!

Lmfao at that intro story

Honestly 😂

Be around is a tricky one as turnover is so high. Certainly getting to know the owner, family members (if it’s a family-run business, or higher level staff makes sense, besides being pleasant to the rest of the workers that actually interact with you. However I’ve noticed that there are places I go that the people I saw for months or years just vanished-and no one will say a thing!

Solid advice here, Brock. Thank you.

💯👌

Video idea: creating a yearly clothes budget. I think most men,(myself included) acquire clothes two ways; out of necessity,(somebody died and I need a black suit tomorrow,) and through Christmas and birthday gifts. This creates a very hodgepodge wardrobe with big gaping holes that leave you with a black suit, a big intense cardigan and some ratty jeans and clothes with stains that are generally of low quality. Creating a clothes budget takes a proactive approach.

Thank you Brock for discussing this without judging while being neutral and humble fashion.

❤❤❤

That’s five not six. What is the sixth tip?
