The Senegalese Tailor Who Dressed America's Most Powerful

YOUR WARDROBE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN YOUR CAR. Haj Gueye, third-generation Senegalese-French couturier and founder of Maison de Haj, joins hosts Eloiza Domingo and Andrés Tapia to reveal the hidden psychology of executive presence and personal branding. What does it take to command a room before you even speak? How do the world's most powerful leaders use clothing as a tool for authority? And why are so many executives getting it completely wrong? This isn't just a conversation about fashion—it's a masterclass in identity. Haj takes us back to his roots in Senegal, the lessons passed down from his grandfather who dressed kings, and his journey to dressing global icons like Bernie Mac. He reveals the raw truth about how color communicates confidence, why "dressing the part" is a myth, and how he transforms his clients' lives by aligning their wardrobe with their true selves. We challenge the corporate uniform and explore the incredible power of an impactful presence. Tune in to hear a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the secret language of style that will change the way you see yourself and the world.
