Living with Intention

 Welcome to The Intentional Gent - a modern lifestyle space crafted for the man who’s done with autopilot living.

This is where intentionality meets identity. Where classic meets modern. And where personal growth, purpose, and a bit of polish are part of the everyday game plan.

Who’s behind The Intentional Gent?

I’m Tanz - a guy who’s navigated the boardrooms, rebuilt life after cancer, and styled my way through home renos, heartbreak, and hustle. I created The Intentional Gent as a space to explore what it means to show up deliberately - in our style, our routines, our health, and our impact.

This isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being purposeful.

Whether you’re levelling up your grooming game, decluttering your mindset, or trying to make sense of this modern world while still keeping it classic, you’re in the right place.

What you’ll find here:

  • Style guides & curated finds – Timeless looks, skincare routines, and modern accessories worth the investment
  • Life & mindset - Real talk about wellness, resilience, habits, and self-leadership
  • Home & lifestyle tips - From the bar cart to the bathroom drawer, setting up spaces that work with you
  • Affiliate finds & product recommendations  - Handpicked tools for intentional living (with transparency always)

Why “intentional”?

Because life’s too short to live passively.

Intentional living isn’t just about meditation and minimalist wardrobes. It’s about knowing what matters to you - and making moves that align with it. It’s about quiet confidence, self-respect, and surrounding yourself with things (and people) that elevate your every day.
