Omar Zenhom and a co-speaker debate whether identity or appearance comes first. The co-speaker argues dressing like who you want to be works: Omar's father, a car salesman, wore a pressed suit, got manicures, and kept everything immaculate. That routine made him feel fresh and confident every day.
Do you become the person first or do you dress like them first?
I think you dress like them first and then you become that person. I think it's like we were just talking about your dad and how he was a successful car salesman.
Yeah.
And he would put on his press suit every day, get the manicures, and that helped him step into what he was going to do for the day.
Yeah. It's like he always says, like, if you feel good if you're wearing— your car is clean, your clothes are clean, you just feel like you're taking a shower, a fresh shower all the time. You can actually produce confidence by dressing in a certain way.
