Who: Kyle Ingham runs the men’s interest website The Distilled Man. As his about page states “These days, a lot of guys grow up without many of the classic skills their fathers and grandfathers had. Like knowing how to cook a perfect steak. How to mix a cocktail. Or how to give a toast. The Distilled Man is dedicated to giving guys a second chance to discover these lost “gentlemanly” arts. Simply put, our mission is to help guys become better men.”

Something to reflect on:

They say that the skills make the man and there are certainly ideal skills that a man should know. Normally our fathers pass on these skills to us but unfortunately, this is becoming rarer. Sites like Kyle’s are ideal starting points to learn the lost ‘gentlemanly’ arts that you should know and that will help you become a better man. If you never had a good father figure in your life, you should make peace with that and look elsewhere to learn these skills. Forgive and start now. Your future self and children will thank you.
