Episode 127: When Did the Dress Code for Leadership Change? Encore Edition.

About this episode

The episode discusses the changing perceptions of dress codes in leadership and their implications on international relations.

Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you. Is there really any value in a "dress code"? Will leadership of a foreign country respect us any less if our politicians were to show up in flip flops and Polo shirts? What would Putin do? I have a thing or two to say here.
