Saying goodbye to The Modest Man (my story)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Congrats Brock! Excited for your future my friend!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks, Antonio!

[@googlegoogle887]

At least bro was honest about clickbait

[@BrockMcGoff]

It could have been a more dramatic title 😂

[@danieltani2474]

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! 🤣🤣🤣 I was like: thanks for being honest Brock! I will stick with you man!

[@yega3k]

It’s not even clickbait. He sold the brand (perhaps not the channel itself). It is actually good bye to “The Modest Man”.

[@scoopnumrrrratnumoosna7550]

@@BrockMcGoff Wagwan, bro

[@tonyervolina5500]

Honestly, I thought Modest Man referred to someone that didn’t have an oversized ego. You were sincere and modest. I’m 6’1” and 185lbs and have taken a lot of advice from your channel. Thank you Brock.

[@amirhosseinzarandi4095]

As a 21 year old college kid I find this really inspiring. All the best.

[@marvin2678]

What do you study ?

[@hespokestyle]

Congratulations, Brock!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you, Brian!

[@fuffilicious]

I discovered your channel when you were the Modest Man, and you've been a huge inspiration for how I'm rebuilding my wardrobe into something I personally connect with more. I'm happy to continue watching you as Brock McGoff now. Here's to a new chapter!

[@knot2618]

Such a relief that it’s not the actual goodbye! As a short guy who’s a big fan of your channel, I gotta say that who you are,what you do and the inspiration that you make really inspire me man so please keep up good work and good luck with the new journey! All the best

[@coopermoore1507]

Whether is Brock McGoff, or the Modest Man, you still continue to inspire me and so many others! Thank you for all that you do!

[@BrockMcGoff]

I appreciate that!

[@theittsco]

You are an absolute legend. Congratulations on becoming a dad and thank you for being a wonderful role model for us men of more modest height. And nice touch with the Legend of Zelda nod.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you! Yeah, TOTK is the best game I've played in a long time (well, since BOTW haha).

[@theittsco]

@@BrockMcGoff if you get the chance I recommend playing Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (both on the Switch). Otherwise the Witcher 3 would be my other go-to choice to unwind from the world.

[@BrockMcGoff]

@@theittsco I'll check those out! I play Ocarina in college and loved it. Would be cool to relive that one.

[@JamesMazzola-d6w]

As a 5’4” 127 lb. guy, I’ve always had trouble finding well-fitted clothes and feeling comfortable in my body. Stumbled upon your channel a few years ago, and have been a huge fan ever since. Coincidentally, I just pulled the trigger on my very first made-to-measure suit, and finally feel confident in formalwear. Thanks for everything you do for us modest men!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Awesome, thank you!

[@don6148]

You’ve helped me so much on my clothing style. I am 5’6 and watching your content gave me confidence to dress and look better, thank you Brock!

[@alexcosta]

Great video, Brock! Thanks for sharing your story and congrats!!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks, Alex! It’s been a long time, I hope you’re doing well!

[@HarryHas]

Glad you aren’t going anywhere, Brock. Looking forward to the next chapter!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks, Harry! You've been on a roll lately, I'm taking notes ✍🏻

[@JoseDelgado-wn3ip]

I discovered your channel in college and it had a huge impact on me. In the last few years I haven't always been in the best situation financially so I've always cherished the lessons I got from you to always look presentable and keep moving forward through any challenges. Seeing a new video pop up or rewatching old ones is like getting a warm hello from a friend; something that is always welcome! Very happy to see you succeed and excited to see what's coming. If you ever make the trip to Panamá, we'd love to have you down here!

[@poketto7564]

honestly i'm just glad you'll still be making videos, even if it's not modest man content. i'm a female but love your sense of class, elegance, and professionalism that i think is beneficial for the modern male population and is also enjoyable for women to watch. excited to see what you'll put out in the future!

[@BrockMcGoff]

I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏻

[@huntergrey9818]

Well "BROCK", You opened my eyes to what dressing comfortably yet with a certain style, really means. From colors to fit, footwear to hats and how to make it all work together to present a pleasing and cohesive image, YOU were there to gently guide me to making better, more informed clothing choices. THANK YOU .

[@CarlMurawski]

All the best in your new chapter brother!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you, Carl!

[@MrJ3]

Can I just say I really appreciated your concise storytelling? I can only see good things coming from this. You are your brand, as far as I'm concerned, so this seems like a major win all in all.

[@OnPointFresh]

Good luck Brock! Wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do next.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you 🙏

[@berkefinance]

Amazing journey! Thanks for sharing this

[@willval21]

Congratulations Brock! I remember when I was in late high school/early college, I was struggling to find my style (both in terms of clothing and life). Your channel really helped with my transitions to adulthood, and I cannot thank you enough for all the great content you have produced over the years.

[@BrockMcGoff]

That’s great to hear, thank you!

[@iamrjdennis]

Been following you for years, and hearing your story is inspiring! All the best to you, my friend!

[@BrockMcGoff]

I appreciate that!

[@ajaykhatkar6012]

Life is just an hit and trial method to solve problems...so keep growing and changing untill you find what is best for you .. ... best wishes for your future

[@ch00p]

Brock, I found your blog about 10 years ago. I've enjoyed your blog posts and videos ever since. Dressing better has done a lot for my confidence and self esteem this past decade, and your style content for us *ahem* modest men was a big part of that. Congrats on starting this new chapter, man, I'm really happy for you and your family!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Wow 10 years ago, the OG days! Thanks for following along, I really appreciate it!

[@suirp6175]

Dude this video is amazing. I just discovered your channel today and this video makes me feel so much better about the insecurities I have about my future. I’m 22, about to finish college and regret picking my major but after seeing this, I’m sure I’ll figure this shit out eventually and find something I truly enjoy. Wishing you the best

[@stqueens]

When I saw the title, I thought you're pulling the plug on content creation. NOW, I'm happy that this is the beginning of a new chapter. I got introduced to your channel through Alpha Male. I have a small build too and always found it difficult find clothes off the rack. I learnt a lot from your styling tips. Thanks for sharing your story and looking forward to what this new chapter bring! Keep it up!

[@Jeff-312]

Just those first 15 seconds or so must have felt so good to say. Your blog and videos have helped me a lot, despite the fact that I’m not skinny AND short-I’m just short and fat. It’s been a struggle my entire life but dressing even a little bit better than all black everyday has helped me want to continue working at being healthier, losing weight, and looking my best in the present. I’m stoked for your next steps! I’ll definitely follow along as best I can.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Sounds like you're on a good path. Thanks for following along!

[@SenorChangSauce]

Long-time viewer here - loved hearing your whole journey, through all the ups and downs. So proud of how far you've come, Brock!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@panair4126]

That was a wonderful & honest appraisal of a honest man.And it always comes thru' in every video of yours.God Bless you in all your endeavours.👍

[@SiskoSvK]

Happy for you and I'm jealous of your strong and supportive family, some people are not that lucky...

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks! And yes, I'm definitely lucky when it comes to family.

[@EuSrM]

Congratulations Brock. You made a sensible choice. I really like your videos and I'm happy that you're going to continue your KZbin channel.

[@GOD999MODE]

I think so many young men can relate to your story Brock. It's just taking that first step to make a video or publish something online where I think people hesitate. The momentum never catches on. I think so many people (myself incl) want to get out of the 9-5 endless loop and live on their own time and accord. All that being said, this channel has been resourceful as a men's go-to for modern, well fitted clothes for the burgeoning young professional.

[@marvin2678]

Related how ?

[@nimblemade]

What an incredible story! Always been a big fan of the Modest Man. Can't wait to see where you go from here.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you! I hope you and your business are doing well!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Congratulations! We'll stay in touch!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks, Raphael (and GG team)!

[@danielmanor605]

Brock, you are an absolute legend! Thank you for all the wonderful content you created throughout the years, and I wish you all the best in re-inventing yourself. I have no doubt you’ll do brilliantly again 🙏🏻

[@cody2470]

End of an era, I hope this isn’t the end of you providing top advice! As a short, insecure guy your videos and accompanying advice have been incredibly instrumental in my growth as a person. I’m by no means where I want to be but you’ve helped massively. Whatever the future holds, thank you Brock. You probably talk about this in the video, I’m commenting before watching lol

[@msanchez0125]

Brock, I'm incredibly proud of you and what you've done. You've helped me in so many ways, personally and style-wise.

[@BrockMcGoff]

From a fellow modestman aka short and slender, congratulations. Thank you for creating this channel. You are helping a lot of people, modest or not. 😉

[@Larry-qz3es]

"The Modest Man" is a great name that stands out for many of us men who are not only short but of humble nature. Congrats on all of your future endeavors Brock.

[@mohamedhannachi5958]

20 y.o guy here,pre-engineering student , 6 years ago you were one of the first people who introduced me to this world of style , clothing , looks ect, found you randomly while I was looking for a good hair cut( first time ever getting a new hair cut) and I was like "yeah this is interesting". I started following along which made me even more interested in actually developing many aspects and sides of my personality (like hitting the gym, taking care of myself...) and I started digging even deeper and learning the details of styling and stuff. Thanks to you and many others(RMRS for exmp...) , and now after 6 years, it helped me tremendously and still to this very moment in literally everything(relationships , studies, professional life...), again thank you very very much for the work you did and still doing to share information and help others improve themselves, good luck in your future and I hope I hear more exciting news about you sir!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!

[@AnthonyBoutdavong]

I feel like the Alter Egos Era of KZbin is fading now people are just trying to be themselves, which is great. This story is just reality of someone trying to navigate through life. Ups and downs, taking risks… most people just settle for that 9-5 and save until they retire when they’re too old to enjoy the youth of life. I’m 23yo Dad, soo I know that there’s only soo much time in the day to do stuff. Balancing Family, Work, and Hobbies is the next level in life. Best of Luck to you Brock 🙏🏼

[@robc15]

Happy for you, Brock! You've helped me tremendously during my style journey. I wish you nothing but the best.

All seriousness though, Brock, you are awesome for making the content that you do and it's been really awesome to see and watch you grow and expand your horizons with the business and give those of us like you starting out in our 20s advice for fashion and living. Here's to a bright future!

Wow, Brock. I have watched Modest Man videos for quite a few years. I appreciate your research, dilligence and honesty when reviewing things. You have a subtle dry humour that i really connect with. I am glad you have kept the you tube channel. I look forward to more content, i have missed your videos. You and He Spoke Style are channels i really enjoy probably because you and Brian have evolved. I expect that i am pretty far away from your usual demographic or target audience but i have been around for a while. Congratulations on the sale and good luck with whatever new endeavours you undertake.

[@youssefsouaf6023]

u r such an inspiration brock , always have always will

[@plantbased2846]

I've been following you for years...and I am 6'1"! You really are the best Menswear KZbinr out there (IMHO) because your content is the most actionable, insightful and concise. e.g. "20 Easy Color Combos ANYONE Can Pull Off" is so actionable. "The best color for men's boots" is insightful and your "Color 101: How to Wear the Right Colors (Webinar Replay)" is a concise masterpiece... even if an hour long video strains the limits of what can be called concise - it is a dense magnum opus. I'm so glad you are continuing with the KZbin channel. :-) Ideas for future videos? Here are a few: Color patterns i.e. A,B,A where A = the shoe color, B = color of pants & shirt and A again equals the same color of jacket e.g. burgundy Chelsea boots, navy dress pants & shirt with a burgundy Harrington jacket. Texture: how to wear and pair textured polo shirts. Volume: how to play with volume & silhouette. What components make up a signature style?: Old money style vs Preppy vs smart casual vs athlesisure vs resort wear vs yacht attire etc. High rise pants & the Ike jacket; is it for you? Ok, well, maybe that last one is a bit too specific but you get the idea. All the best to you in whatever brings joy to you and yours. 😀

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks for the encouragement and ideas!

[@MyCovertNarcissism]

Been watching you since the early days, easily one of the best channels around. I really like the new name for the channel, it was a good move.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thank you!

[@finn3063]

Hi Brock, first of all, i would like to thank you for this video. I am really enjoy watching this, the matter of fact, i watched 12:28 without skipping a second. I began to follow you in 2019 when i was still in university. As also a small guy, your content really helped me a lot to define my style at that time and eventually i'm still rocking it. I'm currently graduated, working as a consultant in engineering, not the best job in the world but help me get through the day. I've just broke up with my girlfriend, she went to the USA to work and i chose to stay here in France. Things didn't work out, but i'm glad that we have a wonderful time together (that's why i was a little bit nervous tbh when you told the story about you and your wife decided to work in different places, but it came out nicely). Now returning to this video. Thank you for sharing your story, your tough times. It reminds me that everyone, at a some moment of life, has to deal with all sort of things. Your story really inspired me, gave me some motivation to move on, keep hustling and eventually good things will come ^^. I've been on KZbin since the beginning, i saw a lot of my favorite youtubers chose to give up the DNA of their channel, adapt with the latest trend in order to getting more views. By all means, that is not wrong, everyone has to pay the bills. The fact that you have always kept your DNA since the beginning make me respect you more as a content creator and a person! Chapeau bas monsieur :) Sorry for this comment, it's a little bit sentimental from one of your fan ^^. Hopefully my english is not so bad and you can understand the message. I wish all the best for you and your family! Sincerely

[@BrockMcGoff]

I appreciate your comment, thank you! And your English is very good 👌🏼

Really cool hearing the whole story of the Modest Man, been watching for years so it's really interesting to see what was going on behind the scenes a bit. I've been doing BJJ for about two years now, along with my kids! Got four stripes on my white belt, itching to get that blue belt!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Woah, I didn't know you trained! That's awesome that your kids do too. I bet that blue belt is right around the corner 🤙🏻

I hope so! But I haven't gotten a chance to compete yet, and I'd kind of like to enter a white belt competition first!@@BrockMcGoff

[@Fishnchipsyip]

Thank you for this video. I just took time off work due to a concussion, and I found that I hate my job so damn much. Your story has inspired me to find a new path for myself. I am really glad I found your content. Thank you, so very much.
