They're not the highest paid, it's another way of money laundering, Victoria Secret is the worst example and can prove many in the fashion industry are low functioning and perhaps with a low IQ along with the model on the receiving end of stolen dollars. If and when you model it doesn't mean you sold anything...
Me and my sister was in Davids year at senior school, he was shy and quiet but always polite and respectful boy. He reminded me of an old fashioned gentleman really nice person. I saw him in the gym not long before he hit fame with the D&G gig he told me he was waiting for the answer if he got the campaign. What a success so pleased for him. He is one of the good guys. Totally relate to the antiques road show and school the next day! Lol 😂 they were the days eh. Time goes fast x

Uh? He loves to talk about how he and his family are better than the average Essex person and they are all thick. No offence but he hates people from Essex. Said his family told him he needs to speak ‘properly’ etc. Again, no offence to you. Just lazy snobbery and he reinforces it. Said recently everybody from billericay were stupid to a national newspaper.

His appeal for me is that as confident as he is, he doesn't come across as arrogant. He's the exception to the norm, how most good-looking guys, especially the model kind I've met or known, often come across as so arrogant, that it blinds me to their outer beauty. He comes across as humble and intelligent. I think when he wears glasses, it accentuates this about him. And I think he's never let his looks go to his head, and continues to work on his personality and character development that's so appealing. 🤓He opened the way for more of what a male model, to me, should l👀k like, strong and masculine equals sexy. The male runway used to be more androgynous looking, and I thought strange that they would not be more masculine looking. He redefined what the "Male Model" should be, especially with his leg to ratio body and taller height. Primarily, it is seen for a female runway model. i'm sure it cost more for fashion designers to outfit them, but nice to see a Man instead of a weak looking male. Most I've seen on the runways, I wonder if they weren't born a woman, I'd never think that with David Gandy. He deserved to be the top Male paying Model. Could a Man look any sexier wearing a 3-pc suit? I haven't seen it yet. Lol He looks almost perfect to me, smart and sexy, even with his "imperfect features." If ever a man was beautiful to me, he'd be it, because you can see it on hos outside but feel it from his inside. He seems like a genuinely nice person, a g👀d guy, and a great father. He's the rare kind that are born with some of the best genes. " Whatta a Man, what a mighty G👀d Man,"🎵 I think when I hear Salt & Peppa after discovering him. 😍

That’s because he’s doing a bang up job as a Covert Narcissist. You wouldn’t expect him to come right out and tell you he’s a royal prick. He wouldn’t get jobs, adulation, “risky things to do” so you admire his ‘integrity’, right? It’s okay. Let him be him. Use your intellect. SEE HIM. Then… be careful. Sooooooo many Red Flags. I do love his smile, though.
One of my favourite interviews. Very humble and down to earth guy. I can relate to not fitting in and bullying. Very surprising as was not expecting him to be shy and a loner.
He seems to be a very sensible person and not out of touch with reality. He treats his appearance as a commodity, which it is when modelling. He deserves the success.
The level of guests is incredible! Feel fortunate to be living through what I’m sure will become a podcast that has a legacy for generations ahead 🙌

@Seekingthemiddle Way .......but they do NOT look as attractive and painfully handsome as David Gandy ! ! !
Describing David as beautiful doesn't do him justice. With his striking eyes, large nose and strong chin he is a brutally handsome man. There are thousands of more classically beautiful men but they don't have David's presence. He has a great voice too. I think they should consider him for the next 007.
One of the best podcasts I have listened to. Was not expecting this outcome. Totally had the wrong impression of this guy. It’s true don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Was not bored at all. Excellent interviewer.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
David Gandy as the next James Bond. Already looks great in a suit!
I only discovered you a few months ago and I can’t stop watching your interviews. The openness, vulnerability, honesty and integrity is appreciated. Inspirational. Thank you Steven. Keep Happy.

I used to be a male model back in 2010, and having a super focussed and business oriented agency matters! I learned that you only need one big job and then it spirals into the next, and your name becomes recognised, but it's definitely a business and you must always remember your worth/ say no to things which don't align with your values/vision. I stopped modelling to pursue a science PhD, and did learn lots in my modelling career! I was also signed with the same agency in Milan as David called Why Not Models Milan. Any agencies, happy to chat!

Thank you. Excellent conversation. When you see David Gandy, you don’t forget his face nor him. As you learn more about what he stands behind, what he is about and what an intelligent man he is, you learn to not only admire but also respect him even more. Learning more from your mistakes…that line stays with me.
Mr Gandy is such an utterly adorable human, all his facial expressions his vulnerabilities make him even more beautiful imo. I really hope David takes on an acting role in some capacity in the future because my goodness his face can show a huge range of emotions and if he doesn't it will be a great loss to the world! Such a relaxing and interesting conversation loved every minute of this. x Come on Hollywood A film about Walter H Thompson starring our very own David Gandy, we are all waiting !!!! xxxxxx

I learned so much about thinking outside the box when it comes to goal setting and getting where you want to be while understanding that those are good things, goals don’t have to be achievable in order for success to still happen! Loved this
My sister recommended you today and I applaud your "interview" style... It is more like a beautiful dance between souls... Opening someone's book and allowing them to read it to you is the most divine act on earth
..."a beautiful beautiful man" ,🤣🤣 loved that... Really enjoying the variety of guests on the show the past few months 👍🏼
Love this conversation, and absolutely resonated with his perspective of growing older and wiser, and therefore developing a sense of calm post the storm that is your 20s!
Gotta love this guy!! He’s an absolute icon and should be an inspiration for any young , upcoming models. Just look at how he’s maintained those standards throughout the years, still looks amazing and his personality is as beautiful as he is! ❤️
Mr. Gandy is so real and human.
I love the fact that he is humble and doesn't have a huge ego. This is the sexiest of all characteristics.
Looking at it from the superficial aspect of the beauty industry, I found David very refreshing and humble - luckily for him, he still managed to find himself, the real person behind the camera, which is not easy to achieve in this environment.
I’ve followed David since his breakthrough as a model. He always seems humble, well-mannered and kind. And he’s very kind and caring about animals too. Just a great guy. I hope he is genuinely happy and I wish him good health ✨
Good morning, Thank you to all involved in this wonderful podcast, I look forward to Monday mornings as I ponder who may be the next guest..🤗 and it always sets me up for the day ahead! Mr David Gandy, thank you for sharing your lifes journey, I wish for you good health, wealth and happiness 🙌🙌
Absolutely loved this interview, such an absolute gentleman. I was recently invited to a photo shoot to see if I could be a model. I didn’t go but if I’d seen this interview first I probably would have plucked up the courage to go .
So interesting. He has great character . Emotional intelligence. A thinker. It all comes down to that first observation of the disparity between female and male super models.
I can not say that I enjoy any other comparable format more, than this. I am never bored, the questions picture a wholesame picture of the person in front of you and there is always a lot of wisdom in every episode. I started taking notes. Thank you and please continue.
Great pod as always. As a young professional your podcast gives me motivation every morning to attack the day. Thanks!
David Gandy.. I had the pleasure to see him at one of my favorites pubs in Hampstead London, sat at a table next to him and his mother. I couldn’t believe he was in front of me.. of course we had to act cool and pretend he is just one of us. He is even better looking in person.

A very incredible, intelligent,man. With a very relaxing informative out look on life. He's not a look at me I'm great spoiled attitude type. Just a gentle , honest human being, that speaks so well about different things that alot of people wouldn't admit to. He shows us how we can navigate our lives, humble, and accepting, who we are,and how to be venerable,and not needing bravado like every one else in the pack. You are wonderful as you are,and can succeed knowing your limitations. Just believe in yourself,and be you. Your success is what you believe in,and going for it. I absolutely fell in love with this conversation and this strong man who knows his strengths, and his limitations he has. I don't believe he has any limits. His gentle speaking voice,and his wonderful laughter is God given,,not an ounce of arrogance is displayed. May God bless him in all of his endeavors and give him great success. Thank you for this interview. Much happiness.
I love the idea of the guests asking the following guests questions. I can barely hold myself from watching that part first. 😆

Quote from the podcast: "There is risk and reward. Everything must have a slight risk, otherwise, it is not worth me doing it. There must be that risk of failure, as I have learned more from failure than I have learned from success" (I can second that from my personal and professional experience)

Quite an eye-opener interview. I have newfound respect and admiration for David Gandy now.
What he said about making your own luck is true, I’m not a star but I’ve manage to do so with my career, at least I can pay my bills, travel, save and have a home. He is so right!
I have have a gorgeous image of David in my work locker. I’m so happy to hear that he is a genuine, humble guy as well as a handsome one.

What an excellent interesting interview. You are a gracious host asking real questions to my favourite male entrepreneur. David Gandy besides being BEAUTIFUL is such a down to earth person. His parents did a good job with him. In my mind there is no one more handsome just getting better looking as he matures. ❤
Great podcast . David's 'the other ' complex really resonates with me

It's crazy how the most beautiful man in the world to me has insecurities etc. He's such a genuine down to earth guy too so he's like the whole package gorgeous not only on the outside but inside too. I am such a huge fan of gandy and his work not just in modelling but the work he does to help others too truly an amazing human being
This was a really good episode! thanks
Another amazing insight into the mind of a ceo. I particularly took away his statement on risk and reward, that’s one of the primary reasons of being an entrepreneur, you go into something that has a calculated risk in the hope that you get a reward. Thank you Steve for another amazing interview, can’t wait for next week’s!

Wonderful interview. Thank you so much for letting us get to know who the real David Gandy is, outside of the global perception people tend to make of him
this is an excellent interview and an awesome interviewer
Can totally relate to the Antiques Roadshow comment. Was the South Bank Show theme tune that filled me with dread 😂
Watching this episode I want to hug him so bad, David showed us his vulnerability… nobody see the work and no good parts of being a top model, great episode, loved it….
I worked in the fashion industry in NYC, a photographer, David is a classy guy and very grounded. I never worked with him but Greg Lotus, a guy I knew shot with him in Miami. I am glad I left that life. It was very toxic it takes your soul if you allow.
Interesting to hear about his affinity for creativity, he's a lifepath 3 so makes sense!
David Gandy reminds of the human equivalent of a male leopard. Both suave and elegant creatures. 😂
I define depression as walking around with a black cloud over you and you don't know why. For me personally, I was married to a great guy, and I had a beautiful daughter, monetarily, we were comfortable, we owned an apartment in NY and a house in Pennsylvania, but, there was always that cloud.
I was trying to pull together a character for an esoteric novel I'm writing and I looked at a lot of pictures of men trying to find one that could help me really formulate a persona. In that search I came across some images of David Gandy and I was captivated by some unique quality about him. I saved these two black and white photos and they really changed the concept I had for the character and were so helpful to bring him to life. The character is Sicilian, an immortal magician, clever and sort of a deal broker between several factions. He is the brother of the heroine of the story and he's very protective of her and determined, has a lot of integrity. Also he has a collection, not cars, but watches - a joke against time. It's so funny watching this interview because he actually has these qualities. (I didn't know anything about him before I saw this.) If a picture says a thousand words, I guess two of David Gandy are like ten thousand. Thank you for being an inspiration!
