The Fo0H Tribe Podcast - The In-Between Men UPDATE - #fo0h #thefo0htribe

Welcome to episode thirty third episode of The Fo0H Tribe Podcast, Where Men Can Be Men!

Over the weekend, Butch and I went in deep to the catacombs of our minds to come up with an UPDATE to our previous weeks podcast, The In-Between Men. What we uncovered, thanks to the SOAM 2023 Study, was the researchers who put this report together included a generational definition to each of the various different age groups of the men in the study. Butch found that interesting and highlighted it with a yellow marker.

What I realized after publishing last weeks podcast was the view I had of all the men in the study was from my personal (Generation X) male perspective and not the perspectives of the men within the study. I asked myself, could each generation have their own definition of what a "male value system" is and could be different or align with mine? The answer to the question was YES each generation does have a different and more progressive view of how they define their own "male value system".  I believe they are more open to the idea of "emotional and/or spiritual" growth.

Furthermore, with this new understanding and view, I re-wrote the definition of how men view and value themselves in the world today. I also talked about how the traditional "male view system" does help men identify with values, successes and failures can shape them into a man they are proud. I am 100% okay with men finding comfort and value with this definition and not exploring additional areas of emotional and/or spiritual growth. If it works for you, it works for me. PERIOD!

I also rewrote the definition of The In-Between to include two different buckets, the men who have accepted (it doesn't have to be 100%) that one or more values of the traditional definition of manhood could lack emotional and/or spiritual substance, but reject and deny the notion it applies to them.

The 2nd bucket of In-Between is the same definition, but instead of rejecting or denying the notion of emotional and/or spiritual growth, they embrace and make a decision to move forward in their quest for one or both options. If you want to learn or hear more, please tune into this weeks podcast.

This weeks introduction song is performed by Dr. John and the title of the song is "Right Place Wrong Time", I'm confident you've heard it before.
