Quote From Research: “Without deliberate intervention to redefine masculine success beyond economic provision and to challenge the Man Box's emotional restrictions, we risk losing an entire generation of men to depression, anxiety, and despair.”

The top three things you can do for yourself and kids to confirm you’re an epic Dad. The last couple of days I’ve been looking over some of my Video & Shorts data and an interesting trend showed itself to me.

My last podcast episode, Acknowledging Your More Than Just An ATM Machine had a nice jump in views on Google Podcast/Music. If I average 4-6 downloads per podcast episode, this episode had 87 views. Which isn’t a lot, but it's a lot for me. Plus, I had three YouTube Shorts that all got over a 1000 views. One was titled, Dad Lessons, Men’s Mental Health & Carl Jung.

The podcast episode was about Acknowledging that one or more aspects of the traditional male values system is lacking emotional growth. The Dad Lesson was me playing a Rage Against The Machine video and going crazy with my three boys. The Men’s Mental Health Short was about how men get stuck in an insanity loop trying to figure out what is wrong with them and NOT ask for help. They never actually figure out anything; they just get more miserable. The last short is titled Carl Jung, Why Suffering is Necessary. Carl Jung talks about there is a necessary suffering that must happen in order to be a human being.

All four of these different pieces of content connected with men in some way. This episode is about taking what I learned from all four of those episodes and bringing them together. A little fun with my boys, how we can connect with our kids in a meaningful and easy way and why learning how to ask questions is a practice every man should do more of and also teach their boys. Learning how to ask good questions is one option men can try without having the anxiety or fear of “asking for help!”. Smart people know how to ask great questions. Questions are the primary WEAPON for attorneys. Questions allow attorneys to see and hear how people respond and gather additional information to help formulate their next question. The goal is to tell a story, expose the facts and lay them out to a jury so they can make a decision. Guilty or Not Guilty. Asking questions is an art form and the more questions we ask the better we get at asking them and understanding the answers.

I believe all men can do a better job at learning how to ask smart questions and teaching our kids how to ask questions is a skill set they can develop over time. Along with three others things you men can do to confirm they are great Dads! This one is short and sweet and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. I’ll see ya in there.

Keep Smiling,

Did you grow up watching your father be the man of the house? Did your mother stay home from work and take care of you and your sister? Who was the primary “bread winner” in your house? Your father? Your mother? Did they both work? What was that like?

In this episode I’m going to share with you the 1st Stage Of Men from my personal growth accountability process, otherwise known as The GOTR Methodology. There are a total of 5 different stages of men and if you are seeking a process to help you isolate & understand personal dynamics you’ve never considered before, you can find more info The GOTR Methodology on my website.

https://thein-betweenman.com/the-gotr

If you would like to know more about how I use the 5 stages of men, you can set up a free one-hour consultation with Renick and he will be more than happy to share our process and hopefully work with you on a one-to-one coaching basis. I’m only accepting three clients right now. I’m already coaching a new client who started at the end of last month. I’m happy to discuss next steps towards the end of our free consultation.

First of all, this episode isn’t going to be your everyday overview. I’ve made a conscious effort to make sure I’m using “Man Banter”. That means, I’m gonna be honest, in-your-face, ball busting and hopefully you’ll learn something. The GOTR Methodology is very simple to wrap your mind around, you don’t need to be Albert Einstein to figure it out or ChatGPT. I promise!

My only ask for this episode is to really think and use your brain to determine if you can simply “acknowledge” my 1st stage of Men. That’s all it is, acknowledging. Can you validate that my 1st stage of men is correct? It’s a simple yes or no question, but if you are “on the fence” about it and need more time to come to a decision, be “on the fence” then.

If you can acknowledge, please do me a favor and share this podcast with a friend and ask them the same thing. Can you acknowledge the 1st stage of men's definition / statement? Maybe you could even have a conversation with a drinking buddy of your to see if he agrees. Share it with your wife, mother, friend, enemy, barber, Doordash delivery guy, whoever. If you could leave a comment also, that would be great, even it’s, “#gfy this crap is stupid.” I can live with that.

Any feedback you can share I would really appreciate it. You can also email me at arenickpodcast@gmail.com.

Also in this video I go over my Emotionally Vulnerable Everyday Greeting Cards by Peder North. They are a must have for any first, just in case your date wants you to pay for take-out for all 9 of her kids. Don’t Do It!! You can purchase all four of my emotionally vulnerable greeting cards on my ETSY Store. The link is below.

That’s all I’ve got for you. I’ll see ya in there!

Keep smiling,

I’m happy to report that this weekend I finally launched the InBetween Man Official Website. It’s taken me a while, but it’s published and available for you to check out. The address is

www.thein-betweenman.com

Right now you can schedule a free one hour consultation with me to determine if our personal growth services are right for you. The topic of this podcast is just one concept that is included in our GOTR Methodology to help men learn and understand their own emotions. The actual process isn’t complicated at all and it’s very easy to understand. What is usually the most challenging part is actually working through the process and it’s much easier to grasp if you are doing it with someone who understands and has lived the process.

In this episode we discuss what it means to actually “Do The Right Thing”. There are four moral and ethical principles: Acting with integrity, considering the well-being of others, understanding the difference between long-term growth versus short-term temporary gains and adhering to universal standards of morality even if it means you won’t get any credit for it. These moral and ethical principles shouldn’t be hard to understand. They are simple for a reason.

The flip side of being able to accept moral & ethical principles is doing the opposite when it comes making your decision. Understanding the “right thing” vs the “wrong thing” thing to do in any personal or professional dynamic is the essence of what being an InBetween Man is. The back and forth battle we have with ourselves to determine what is right vs what is wrong. Some men and even women are so blinded by what they want and believe they deserve everything good, they don’t even realize how many people they have harmed along the way to get what they want. This “self-perpulsion” mentality and victory at any cost no matter who or what it hurts is the termites eating away at our collective wooden foundation. It’s only a matter of time until the foundation gets weak and brittle it just falls down.

Also in this episode, I use the analogy of walking through a long sewage filled dark tunnel with going through and experiencing complicated and painful emotional growth. How some men just sit down in the tunnel and decide to do nothing but wait or how some men stand up and walk through the tunnel because it’s better than doing nothing. Most people don’t grow when they are doing nothing, an action needs to be performed in order to move a muscle and change a thought. I hope it's easy to comprehend. We will be talking more about this specific topic and others in upcoming episodes. I’ll see ya in there.

Keep smiling,
