Asked, And
Answered.
The questions men ask before they write, answered the way they would be answered at the table — plainly, and without a number invented to fill the silence.
-
What is Higher Standard, and what does it actually cover?
A private practice for accomplished men, run personally by the founder in Los Angeles and Orange County, with six disciplines run together rather than in sequence.
- Presence, conversation and physique — run by him, in the room and on the call.
- Nutrition and recovery, wardrobe and grooming, photography and the profile, moving alongside them.
- Open-ended and by consultation. Nothing about a client is published.
-
Who is this for, and who is it not for?
Accomplished men whose life outgrew the way they present it.
- CEOs, founders and executives: good at the part that got them here, with the rest left to run itself.
- Not a course — there is nothing to log into.
- Not a group, and not a matchmaker. You do the meeting.
-
What does a private coach for men in Los Angeles cost?
The fee is not published, and there is no number on this page to anchor you.
- Quoted in writing once the work is drawn, before anything is agreed.
- Never quoted in the first sitting.
- If the number is the thing in your way, say so in your note and you will have it before you sit down.
-
Is this confidential — will anyone know I hired you?
Nothing about a client is published without written consent.
- No name, no photograph, no story, no before and after.
- No client list, and no wall of testimonials.
- The rule does not expire when the work does.
-
How long does it run — is there a programme length?
There is no fixed programme and no finish line.
- Open-ended by design; month to month in practice.
- For as long as it is useful, and no longer.
- The systems are built so that you can run them without him.
-
What actually happens, week to week?
Some of it is in the room and some of it is by wire, drawn around the diary you actually keep rather than a curriculum.
- The training, and the table — how you eat when there is a restaurant, a plane and midnight.
- Fittings with the tailor, the barber, and a directed sitting with the photographer.
- Conversation rehearsed at a table, then practised in the real world.
- When the quarter catches fire, the calendar is redrawn — not the work abandoned.
-
Do you travel outside Los Angeles and Orange County?
The practice is based in Los Angeles and Orange County, and works across Southern California.
- The parts that need a room — the fittings, the barber, the sitting — happen here.
- Travel beyond Southern California, and clients based further out: ——.
-
How is this different from hiring a dating coach?
It includes how he talks to women, and it does not stop there.
- Conversation runs alongside physique, wardrobe, photographs, the profile and presence.
- A good photograph in front of a man who cannot hold ten minutes of conversation only shortens the distance to the disappointment.
- No scripts, no lines, no persona — you will sound like yourself, better rehearsed.
-
Who runs the work?
The founder directs it personally.
- He is the practitioner for presence, conversation, physique, nutrition and recovery, and the profile.
- The tailor, the barber and the photographer are chosen by him, briefed by him and attended together — and he says which is which.
- You know who is in the room before you walk into it, every time.
-
How do I start, and what happens after I write?
One note, and a private consultation.
- He reads it himself and replies by hand.
- Then one conversation, in person or by telephone, in which nothing is offered for sale.
- You read the terms in full before you commit to any of it.
- If it isn’t right for either of us, it ends there.
