jamar hubert abernathy woods is a 28 year old entrepreneur* originally hailing from petersburg, virginia. his father was a custodian, his mother a hair dresser, both of which instilled a quiet sense of hard work and perseverance in their young son, despite his penchant for being easily distracted and never finishing a task once he picked it up. he ran through the saxophone, playing football, painting, and even building birdhouses before he found writing and settled comfortably there, between words of self expression and the nurtured rhythm of hip hop and slam poetry. a love of words made school easier and he breezed through high school, opting to leave his sleepy southern town and brave the big city for college

a perfect blend of his father's smiling congeniality and his mother's sharp edged business sense, nature met nurture in a perfect storm of inspiration, innovation, and genius. theguyde.com was born in his college dorm room, a brainchild bred from the collective experiences of him and his best friend/roommate. it began small, mostly known through the campus for their famous interactive game of fuck, marry, kill that featured pictures of people from their school plucked from facebook. eventually, maturity legitimized the idea, and fmk was replaced by thoughtful thinkpieces on culture and politics. seven years later, the guyde has established a strong web presence and it's owners are reaping the rewards of their hard work.

the guyde is a comprehensive web publication that acts as both blog and magazine, combining the interests of the modern day man and practical advice on everything from fashion, relationships, and fitness. the guyde runs a number of podcasts. the guyde also reserves a presence on youtube, gaining upwards of nearly a million subscribers their most famous videos include "shit white guys say to black guys", "how to pick up girls at the gym", "what to do if your girlfriend's dad turns out to be samuel l jackson", "if jesus was mexican", and most recently landing a viral socio-political hit in "a message to nice guys".
