The turning point that made me humble and made me dressing up the way I wanted without being worry about what others think about my outfit. The old me just lived a casual, everyday, good "normal life" and didn't think much deeper about life, but just took it for granted every day. One day in 2017, I got tingling in my face and went to a doctor who sent me by ambulance to the hospital. By evening, I was completely paralyzed on my entire left side and couldn't even close my left eye, couldn't talk, couldn't walk. A week later, in the intensive care unit of the hospital, I was able to walk 10 meters with a walker, and a year later I was able to walk very slowly without a walker. The entire hospital stay in the intensive care unit and all other care and rehabilitation only cost me about €600 for the entire year's healthcare without me having any health insurance. I'm happy to live in Finland with such good, world-class healthcare. The healthcare is equally guaranteed to all citizens with an upper cost ceiling of approximately €600 per year total. The new me after 2017 has learned gratitude and to fight for life and to be even more positive than before. I have learned to appreciate my health, the one I have left even though it is limited. Learned to be grateful for all the little things that you usually take for granted and to be grateful for all my loved ones. Learned to live life right now in the moment. Learned to no longer take anything for granted because it can disappear in an instant within a few seconds. I have learned to enjoy all the small values in life that one don't see because one are blinded by the speed of the ”normal" life. There is your own quality of life and then another person's quality of life, and those quality of lives are all equally valuable and unique as they are always personal how quality of life is experienced and how it is valued and how it is appreciated. After 2017 the new me finds pleasure in life to dress in a way that you yourself think is nice and that you feel comfortable in. Joining RMRS has been a good forum to develop yourself as well as to learn other skills in life such as how to behave etc. Thank you for all that.

Gents - this challenge was a blast! We had so many transformation and turning-point stories shared, and every single one was inspiring in its own way. Seeing you guys show up, reflect, and take action is exactly what this community is about. Now… for the winner 🥁🥁🥁 🏆 WINNER: @Sean Kavanaugh Sean’s turning point started with years of feeling limited by his size — wearing looser clothes to hide, tailoring only for length, and cycling through “progress… then back to old habits.” Then life changed the trajectory. He stepped into a new chapter, started carrying himself differently, and eventually hit the real wake-up call: About 18 months ago, he woke up with his knees hurting and decided, “Enough is enough.” He committed to keto and consistent workouts — and that kickstarted not just weight loss, but a complete style evolution. What changed for Sean: - He’s down 75 pounds, with another 15–20 to go - Fit became the priority — not “whatever works,” but “what actually looks sharp” - He rebuilt his wardrobe intelligently (thrift + resale + tailoring) as his body changed - He leveled up so much that in December he bought an off-the-rack suit that only needed a hem — not a full reconstruction And the best part? He didn’t keep it to himself. He posts consistently, tracks his progress, and credits the community for helping him feel more confident in who he is — and where he’s going. @Sean Kavanaugh — we're proud of you! Everyone else: keep those stories coming in the community feed. This is how we build momentum — one decision, one upgrade, one win at a time!

Alright gents - we’re kicking off a fun challenge starting TODAY. We often talk about leveling up our style. But the truth is, no man decides to level up just because he bought a new suit. He buys the suit because he first decided he was done playing small. We all have a "Line in the Sand"—that specific moment where the old version of you no longer fit the man you wanted to become. Today, we’re kicking off a 3-day challenge to honor those stories. This isn't a "who looks best" contest. This is about the Turning Point. Whether it was a promotion that felt out of your league, a breakup that forced a reality check, or the day you became a father and realized you had to lead by example - we want to hear about the moment you stopped cutting corners. HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The old you (What did "average" look like for you then?) 2. The moment (What was the specific wake-up call?) 3. The shift (What was the very first change you made?) 4. The result (How are you showing up differently today?) Optional: Feel free to attach a "Before" photo to show the physical side of that internal shift. HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS - Challenge will run for 3 days (starting today until Jan 19th) - Post your story in the comments of this post (not separate posts) - Our team will personally pick the winner at the end - Winner will be announced next week Monday Jan 19th - Winner gets a surprise gift from Antonio 🎁 WINNERS WILL BE PICKED BASED ON - Detail and quality of your comment (70%) - Thumbs up from others (5%) - Paid members will have plus points.

Not everyone is your friend. Real friends are rare. Not the ones who drink with you on Friday. Not the ones who only call when you're winning. I'm talking about the ones who show up at 3 AM with a shovel and no questions asked. The ones that tell you to your face when you're fucking up. The ones that answer the phone on the first ring when your life is falling apart. The ones that don't let detractors throw dirt on your name when you're not in the room. They clap for you louder than anyone when you're winning... ...and help you get back to winning when you're losing. Most importantly: They help you run over the roadblocks who stand in your way. Most people aren't built for that. They want the title of "friend" without the cost of loyalty. So if you have even one... You're wealthy. Here is the part everyone misses: You don't get friends like that without being that kind of friend first. Loyalty isn't something you find. It's something you live. ~ Andy Frisella
