The Fo0H Tribe Podcast - The In-Between Men - Stage #1 of Men - #fo0h #thefo0htribe

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

You heard me, "Where Men Can Be Men!". 

Building off from the previous weeks podcasts, this episode I dive into the Stage #1 of Men and break down the three different zones that men between the ages of 23-24 to 36-38 may gravitate towards. 

• The Semi Independent & Drive Men:
• The Some Where In-Between Men.
• The Shattered Men 
  • Angry Shattered Men
  • Self Loathing & Isolated Shattered Men 

The overall definition of this group of men is:
Men over time, regardless of their generation, ACKNOWLEDGE the traditional “male value system” is primarily focused on the man’s ability to provide. Consequently, the supporters of the traditional “ male value system” often, society, loved one, family, friends and/or even the individual man himself, downplay or belittle any work that empowers emotional or spiritual growth.

In last weeks episode we also discuss "Growing Up" and I shared on the Eps 34 podcast some of my memorable personal stories that had a profound impact on me. We didn't discuss much of the Growing Up Stage of men so I'll provide an high level overview here and will dedicate an entire podcast to the the "Growing Up" stage. 

The Growing Up Stage of men happens from the time you take your first breath as an infant until you turn 23 or 24 years of age. Your Growing Up Stage is going to be uniquely different than mine for obvious reasons. It just like your finger print, WE are really one of a kind and so is your Growing Up story. There are many dynamics that factor in to how you Grow Up. Race, family structure, brothers sisters, food, shelter, clothing, safety, emotional support, financial and the list goes on and on. It's way to long to list out and that's okay. Your personal experiences will define you and how you go about engaging and interacting with the world. To keep things simple, I've created three Zones within this Stage #1 of Men and they are broad for a reason and I'm confident as we progress we will add further details to each zone. This is a work in progress, please try and remember that. 

The entire purpose of the Growing Up stage is to help you identify any impactful life experiences. My only ask of you is to be brutally & painfully honest with yourself. Not me, not your mom, not your spouse, not your best friend....NO one but you. Since your Growing Up store is yours and yours alone, the very least you can do for yourself is to be honest. If you have reservations, then have reservations you can determine later if you want to share it with anyone. This is for you and you get to decide all next steps with your story.

The introduction song for this weeks episode is Yeat, my kids really like him and the title of the song is called Breathe. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=vC1MFpItI2Y&si=sOy0upujVocNZARB

This song in my opinion, highlights many if not all the Zones of Stage #1 Men. I may be wrong, regardless,
