This is the first installment of the audiobook version of my book The Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring. I'll be releasing one chapter a week, right here in the podcast feed. If you'd rather read the whole thing now (because waiting is for people in line at the DMV), you can grab the full book on Kindle or paperback by clicking here.  Full transcript below (Oh and hey! This is all copyrighted so don't steal my shit.)  This is the "Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring- Irreverent Wisdom From an Industry Insider. Short, Simple, and Straight to the Point." Introduction: I don't care what's under the hood of my car. I'm pretty sure there's an engine in there, but I'll be damned if I know what it's about. And frankly, I don't care. I wanna go fast when I need to and slow when I don't. That's it. Good to go. Some guys get off on knowing every detail about their engine. The compression ratios, the torque curves, the whole mechanical circle jerk. They're the same guys who can tell you the exact temperature their bourbon was aged at or why their guitars, pickups are superior to every other pickup ever manufactured. But here's what 30 years in the trenches of the diamond business has taught me. Buying an engagement ring isn't about becoming an expert. It's about doing something incredible for someone you love. Somewhere between the YouTube rabbit holes about ideal cut grades and the forums full of guys comparing certification numbers like fantasy football stats, we've lost the plot. You are not here because you woke up thinking, man, I really need to learn about crystalline structures today. You're here because you found someone who makes your, he beat faster and you want to do this right? The problem is the diamond industry has turned what should be one of life's most romantic moments into something that. Feels like studying for a final exam you never signed up for. And that's why I wrote this book, not to turn you into some diamond grading savant, but to give you just enough knowledge to work with someone who actually knows their stuff. Think of it as your cheat sheet for navigating this world while keeping your sanity intact. And yes, I'm mostly addressing the guys buying rings for their girlfriends in this book. But if you're buying for your boyfriend or you're a woman buying for your girlfriend, the advice works just the same. The diamond doesn't give a damn who's wearing it and neither do I. What matters is what that ring symbolizes between two people who found something that's worth keeping. I've spent years watching guys walk into my store looking like they're about to face a firing squad. Armed with printouts of diamond specs and enough anxiety to power laws Vegas for a week. There are shell-shocked veterans of a war they never needed to fight. . So here's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna cut through the bullshit and tell you what actually matters. Not the marketing hype or technical jargon, but the real deal, the stuff that makes a difference when you're standing there ring in hand, heart pounding about to ask the biggest question of your life. We'll cover just enough technical stuff to keep you informed, but more importantly, we'll talk about finding someone you can trust to handle the heavy lifting. Because this isn't about becoming a diamond expert, as I've said, it's about making a moment unforgettable. There are plenty of great professionals who live. For helping people like you create those perfect moments. Your job isn't to become one of us. It's to find one of us. You click with. So grab a beer, get comfortable, and let's cut through the noise together. By the time we're done, you'll know exactly how to handle this whole ring thing without losing your mind, your savings or your romantic soul in the process. Now buckle up and let's do this. If you'd like help finding a jeweler closer to home, email me at andy@buylikeaguy.com and I'll do my best to put you in touch with some of the best jewelers on earth.

Send us a textWith the cycling industry gripped by yet another period of uncertainty, this week's episode of the road.cc Podcast focuses on the story that's dominated the front pages all month – Donald Trump's chaos-creating global tariffs. And why, at least according to one industry insider, they aren't going to, as feared by many, “sink the ship”, and could even present an opportunity for bike brands in the UK to capitalise on a re-ordered global market.As brands rush to increase their prices and campaign groups lobby their local politicians during Trump's 90-day pause on his so-called reciprocal tariffs, we're joined by Dominic Loh, the director of business at the parent company that runs mountain bike brands Funn and Granite Design, with over a decade's worth of experience in the Asian and UK cycling market.Fresh from Sea Otter, where the US president's trade policies were the talk of the town, Dominic discusses the reaction to the tariffs within the industry, why forecasts of doom and gloom are overstated, and the potential for prices rises for customers at their local bike shop.He also chats about the continued resilience of the cycling industry, why brands need to stay nimble, and why the tariffs could lead brands to adopt a more global approach, perhaps even presenting opportunities for UK-based companies in the new post-Brexit landscape.

This week, it's an INDUSTRY INSIDERS episode! I sit down with Eric Weiner of The Wild Honey Pie, a company renowned for creating video content and music videos for indie artists and labels. Together, we dive into the evolving landscape of music videos in the indie music scene in 2024. Presented by SMART NOISE - http://smart-noise.com We explore the apparent contradiction of music videos losing relevance in an era where video content dominates platforms like YouTube, while music videos seem to have become the "unwanted stepchild" of the video content family. Eric shares his thoughts on why streaming giants like Spotify and Apple haven't pushed music videos as aggressively as they've embraced video content for podcasts. We also address the practical side of video creation, including the high costs and challenges indie labels face in producing them. Eric shares insights into how some genres—like alternative rock and punk—thrive visually, while others may struggle to translate their sound into a visual medium.
