EP147:Ken Stapleton - Why Elders Matter

Written By Chris Rodd

“Hey, we need to lend a hand here. We need to get these younger men into a place where they actually need to know how to change a tire... change a set of spark plugs. Younger men are lost.” 

Are we losing touch with the wisdom of our elders? Do young men today understand the true essence of masculinity? In today's fast-paced world, many men feel lost, disconnected from their roots, and unsure of their role in society. The values and skills that once defined masculinity are being overshadowed by modern distractions and confusion. But what if reclaiming these lost traditions could help us find our way back? 

In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected from traditional values, many of us feel a deep yearning for guidance, wisdom, and strength. We all seek a sense of purpose and direction, especially in challenging times. Elders role is providing wisdom and guidance to younger generations. Their life experiences and insights can help young men navigate the complexities of life with greater clarity and confidence. Elders act as role models, demonstrating values such as integrity, resilience, and responsibility. 

Over recent decades, rapid societal changes have created confusion about what it means to be a man. Movements towards gender equality, changing family dynamics, and the digital revolution have all contributed to this uncertainty. The decline of traditional industries and the rise of knowledge-based economies have shifted the roles men play in both work and home environments. This confusion is compounded by the lack of positive male role models in media and public life, leading to a crisis of identity for many men. 

Ken Stapleton is a man with over two decades of experience in men's work. He is someone who understands the importance of nurturing younger men into true masculinity. He's here to share his insights on how we can integrate traditional masculine values into modern societal norms and why this integration is more crucial now than ever.
