MORE ON THIS EPISODE

Welcome to the first episode of Guyset: the guy's guide to what should be talked about, hosted by Josh Felgoise.

Think about this podcast as a resource guide and toolkit to hear advice, tips, and recommendations on lifestyle, fashion, health, wellness, dating, fitness, and much more for guys in their 20s.  

Why I Started Guyset: The Resource Guide for Guys in Their 20s That Didn't Exist

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Guyset, the guy's guide to what should be talked about. I'm Josh, I'm 23, and I'm here to find all the tips, advice, and recommendations for guys in their 20s - because honestly, this resource didn't exist anywhere else.

The Problem: Where Do Guys Go for Real Advice?

Let me paint you a picture. It's my first Friday night in New York City after college. My friend and I are getting ready to go out to a bar, and we look at each other with the same confused expression: "What the hell are we supposed to wear?"

I mean, how are you supposed to know that? We'd never done it before. And here's the thing - we felt weird asking friends what we should wear. We felt awkward asking our siblings because, well, shouldn't we know this already?

So we did what anyone would do in 2023: we Googled it.

And that's when I realized the problem. The advice online didn't feel like it was coming from somebody our age. It didn't feel realistic. The resources just weren't good enough.

The Missing Resource Guide

Throughout college and my year after graduating, I kept running into this same issue. There really is no resource guide or place that guys can go to find answers about lifestyle, fashion, health, wellness, fitness, dating, and tons more.

Here's what really hit me: there are a shitload of resources like this for girls our age, but nothing really catered toward or focused on guys in their twenties.

That night in New York, I got thinking: Why is there no resource guide that compiles all this advice and recommendations on different topics from lots of different resources and people in one place?

What Guyset Actually Is

My goal is simple: to have all the types of questions you're wondering about, confused about, or feel uncomfortable talking about in one place where you can come and find conversations, answers, and tips.

Here's how it works:

One week: I talk about my experiences, things I've learned, tips, tricks, and advice from my own life.

The following week: I have on a guest who I interview to get their expertise and advice on topics where they know way more than me.

Why Someone Our Age Needs to Be Behind This

I think it's crucial that someone our age is leading these conversations because realistically, I'm going through the same or very similar shit that everybody else is going through.

I'm dealing with very similar questions, and I think we all have a lot of the same problems that we have no idea where to find answers to - or even where to get advice about them.

I'm willing to share what's going on in my life and what I'm experiencing because I really believe it's important for people to know that you're not alone in all of this. We're all going through it together.

For the things I have no idea about (which is a lot, if not most), I'm going to bring on guests who are much more experienced and have knowledge in these areas to get all their advice and recommendations for us.

The Weekly Goal

Each week, the goal is for you to leave having heard an episode with some sort of takeaway - some piece of advice that will make your life, your week, your day a little bit easier or lead you to think about something in a new and fresh perspective.

Topics We'll Cover

I'll be here every single week to talk about:

  • Lifestyle choices and decisions

  • Fashion and style guidance

  • Health and wellness tips

  • Fitness advice and motivation

  • Dating and relationships

  • Career and professional development

  • Social situations and etiquette

  • Personal development

  • Financial advice for your 20s

  • And tons more

Think of this as a resource guide or toolkit on all these different topics that brings in advice, tips, and recommendations from lots of different people.

Why This Matters

This is something I know is missing from my life and I know it would really benefit me. The questions we're dealing with in our 20s are real:

  • How do you dress for different occasions when no one taught you?

  • What's appropriate behavior at work happy hours?

  • How do you budget when you're just starting to make real money?

  • How do you navigate dating apps and modern relationships?

  • What should you actually know about skincare, fitness, and health?

  • How do you make friends in a new city after college?

These aren't stupid questions - they're the real stuff we're all thinking about but not talking about openly.

The Guyset Community

I'm incredibly excited about starting this because I truly believe this resource can benefit all of us. We're all figuring out how to be adults, how to be professionals, how to take care of ourselves, and how to build meaningful relationships.

The goal is to create a place where guys can:

  • Find honest advice from someone going through the same experiences

  • Learn from experts who actually know what they're talking about

  • Feel comfortable asking questions without judgment

  • Get practical tips that actually work in real life

How You Can Get Involved

Have questions or topics you want me to talk about? Send anything to josh@guyset.com. Whether it's something you're struggling with, something you've always wondered about, or something you think should be talked about for guys in their 20s - I want to hear it.

This isn't just my journey - it's ours. The questions you send, the topics you suggest, and the conversations we have will shape what Guyset becomes.

What's Coming Next

Every Friday, I'll be here with new episodes covering the topics that matter most to us. Some weeks it'll be my personal experiences and what I've learned. Other weeks, I'll bring on experts who can teach us things we actually need to know.

The format is simple: real conversations about real topics that affect our daily lives. No pretending to have all the answers, no talking down to you, just honest discussions about the stuff we're all trying to figure out.

The Bottom Line

Guyset exists because this resource was missing. There wasn't a place for guys in their 20s to get honest, age-appropriate advice on the topics that actually matter to us day-to-day.

I'm not claiming to be an expert on everything - or really anything. But I am committed to finding the answers, having the conversations, and sharing what I learn along the way.

We're all going through this together, and there's no reason we should have to figure it all out alone.
