I Worked for this Smile | Protecting the Unprotected | Ep 218 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. John Lewis on Childhood Trauma, Identity in Christ, and Becoming the Father His Son Needs | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with Jon Lewis about growing up in Pleasant Grove, his parents’ divorce around age 12, and being told he was “the man of the house,” which led to pressure to perform, resentment, and years of carrying responsibility for his mother and brother. John shares experiences of child abuse and being molested while protecting his brother from a neighbor, and how his father’s reaction left him feeling unprotected. He describes learning his worth beyond providing, seeking affirmation in relationships, pursuing therapy and coaching, and having difficult but healing conversations with his mother and later his father, who apologized and shared his own fatherlessness. John recounts years of nonstop crises, including a gun being pointed at him, a legal case, and a head injury causing cognitive deficits, and explains how faith and community helped him cope. He discusses how these lessons shape his relationship with his son and highlights his journal, “When God Calls You by Name,” about men’s identity in a biblical framework, available via @justjohnlewis. 00:00 Childhood Trauma Revealed 01:11 Welcome to Dear Son 01:44 Fighting for a Smile 02:04 Family Life Updates 03:40 Where You From Dallas 05:11 Parents Divorce Fallout 09:07 Man of the House Pressure 13:14 Resentment and Rejection 15:38 Healing Talk With Dad 17:43 Learning Self Worth 20:10 Therapy and Mom Talks 23:21 Molestation and No Protection 25:01 Protector Identity and Aggression 26:20 Living for Me After COVID 27:44 Love and Brain Cancer 28:59 Blended Family Commitment 30:33 Identity After Loss 32:22 Life Event After Event 33:15 Gunpoint Hotel Incident 36:11 Injury And Recovery 36:43 Community Over Isolation 41:00 Faith Becomes Real 45:03 Fatherhood With Honesty 48:58 What I Wish Dad Said 51:36 Book On Men's Identity 54:26 Where To Find The Book 54:48 Final Thanks And Outro #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Jon: https://instagram.com/justjonlewis Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Just Because You Could Doesn't Mean You Should (AI and Fatherhood) | Ep 217 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Dear Son: Just Because You Could Doesn’t Mean You Should (AI, Discipline, and Fatherhood Lessons) Jey Blac and D Johns open The Dear Son, Show by introducing the theme “just because you could doesn’t mean you should,” reflecting on how freedom can lead to poor choices and how fathers decide when to intervene with kids versus letting consequences teach. They discuss students relying on AI to transcribe lectures and complete work, warning that it can reinforce laziness and produce graduates who can pass exams but can’t perform in real jobs, drawing on hiring-manager experience and entitlement seen in interviews. They also connect the idea to professionalism in business, where owners may abuse flexibility at the cost of customers’ trust. The hosts share parenting stories about checking on a college son’s grades and avoiding assumptions after misreading a situation at home. They promote the merch store, tease upcoming lives and a docuseries update, and encourage audience support via likes, subscriptions, memberships, and sponsorships. 00:00 Just Because You Can 01:40 Welcome to Dear Son 02:26 Catching Up and Wins 03:44 Merch and Hoodies 04:53 Topic Setup and Parenting Lens 06:32 AI in the Classroom 10:09 What Grades Measure 12:47 Real Skills vs Credentials 14:29 Workplace Reality Check 16:56 Professionalism and Entitlement 21:01 Convenience Without Earning 22:13 Leaving Life to Chance 23:23 Grave Secrets Debate 23:53 Baton Rouge Trip Canceled 24:51 Parenting With Prompts 26:56 Dad Assumptions Lesson 30:52 Default Parent Reality 32:01 Q4 Plans And Lives 33:58 Could Versus Should 35:49 Let People Support 39:03 Finish Year Strong 39:26 Final Sign Off #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk #AIandparenting #parentinggenz Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Beleaf on Fatherhood, Identity, and Healing: From Baltimore Trauma to Building a Family Legacy In this episode of The Dear Son Show, the host talks with Glen “Beleaf” Henry, creator of Beleaf in Fatherhood, about growing up in Baltimore with a single mother, a distant but present father, and how trauma shaped his views on love, Black identity, sex, and family. Glen shares suicidal thoughts from childhood, the pivotal call to his father that led him to move to California, and how exposure to other families, mentors, hip-hop, Upward Bound, and an HBCU helped restore pride in Blackness and expand his vision of manhood. They discuss marriage, serving a spouse, pressures of leadership and entrepreneurship, boundaries around family and public life, and how Glen’s book "Father Yourself First" pushed him toward therapy conversations with his mother.

I've Had Enough | Dads Are Tired | Ep 215 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Stop Being Everyone’s Fixer: Protect Your Health, Family & Purpose | Dear Son Show In this episode of The Dear Son Show, hosts D Johns and Jey Blac open up about feeling spread too thin, frustration from a lack of reciprocity, and how being dependable can lead others to exploit your time and energy. They discuss setting firm boundaries, prioritizing health, family, and the platform, and learning to be “selfish” for self-preservation without becoming a selfish person. D. Johns shares lessons from his corporate past about overextending, how unaddressed stress can spill into other relationships, and why communicating needs matters before resentment builds. The conversation also touches on letting people fall off if they don’t fit your priorities, and the value of trusted friends who genuinely ask how you’re doing. 00:00 Setting New Priorities 00:58 Show Intro and Catch Up 01:53 Feeling Spread Too Thin 05:52 Consideration and Reciprocity 12:17 Breaking Point and Cutting Ties 14:42 Health First and Letting People Fall Off 16:34 Hard Lessons Build Grit 19:05 Red Flags and Emotional Suppression 22:38 Frustration Spilling Over 24:23 Selfishness For Survival 25:40 Speak Up Before You Snap 27:10 Career Goals And Boundaries 28:00 Marriage Needs Clarity 29:12 Corporate Burnout Story 31:51 Birthday Email Blowup 36:15 Dependability Gets Exploited 39:40 Stop Spoiling People 41:02 Real Friends Check In 42:55 Trust And Proximity 45:23 Signs And Confirmation 46:26 Episode Wrap Up #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

Father Wounds | Forgiving My Dad Just In Time | Ep 214 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Billy Grubbs on Healing Father Wounds, Trust, and Becoming the Father He Needed | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with Billy Grubbs about how maturity changes a man’s readiness for fatherhood, reflecting on how a younger, cockier version of himself lacked accountability compared to who he is now. Billy shares growing up as an Army brat across the U.S. and abroad, the instability of a broken home, attachment and trust issues, and how those patterns fueled relationship struggles, including infidelity and fear of being alone. He describes reconciling long-held animosity toward his late father after a personal development training led to a powerful phone call where his father admitted he didn’t always know what he was doing but called Billy and his brother his greatest accomplishment. They discuss vulnerability, friendship accountability, fatherhood standards, and Billy’s desire to build a healthy, authentic family legacy. 00:00 Maturity Before Fatherhood 01:18 Welcome to Dear Son 01:51 Timing and Loss 03:10 Where Billy Is From 04:12 Life as a Military Brat 08:39 Searching for Stability 10:36 Parents Divorce and Secrets 14:20 Loner Years and Gangs 18:04 Identity and Trophy Kids 19:17 Healing Talk With Dad 23:14 Vulnerability and Fatherhood 29:42 Generational Standards 30:59 Granddad Standards 31:47 Dad Hidden Struggles 32:35 Becoming Like Dad 33:40 Machismo And Vulnerability 34:58 Being The Friend 36:47 Preparing For Fatherhood 39:53 Trust And Triggers 42:28 Masks Off Authenticity 46:25 Girl Dad Perspective 54:17 What I Wish He Said 59:19 Contracting Side Talk 01:01:27 Where To Find Billy 01:01:57 Final Thanks And Outro #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Billy: https://instagram.com/bgoat04 Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

I Waited For My Dad to Die | A Father's Fight with Diabetes | Ep 213 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Rob Weaver on Caretaking, Co-Parenting, and the Words Our Sons Need to Hear | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with Rob Weaver (known in Dallas as “Chi-Town Rob”) about how his upbringing shaped his identity and fatherhood. Rob shares being born in St. Louis, becoming a man in Chicago, and becoming a dad in Dallas, emphasizing the importance of village and family support. He describes his mother’s resilience—working multiple jobs and becoming a dialysis technician without a diploma—and his father Big Bill’s decline from diabetes, including Rob caring for him as a child while living with long-term anxiety about losing him. Rob reflects on missing levity in youth, learning that “real men change,” and how he now balances high expectations with letting his children be kids. He discusses co-parenting since 2018, communicating decisions to his son, teaching perseverance through basketball, and ensuring his son never has to interpret love—he says “I love you” directly. 00:00 Waiting For Dad To Die 01:33 Dear Son Show Intro 03:16 Rob Weaver Origins 04:09 Confidence And Identity 06:51 Faking It Social Capital 10:47 Parents And Upbringing 12:43 Mom Resilience And Work 15:39 Big Bill And Decline 16:45 Child Caregiver Anxiety 20:34 Late Night Porch Talks 23:18 Generational Fatherhood Lens 26:06 Fatherhood Under Pressure 27:59 Papa Versus Dad 29:22 Dad Adapts to Disability 30:24 Uncle Ralph as Mentor 31:27 Rushing Fatherhood Dreams 33:08 Missing Youthful Levity 36:32 Perfectionism and Anxiety 38:39 Co-Parenting and Kids 41:35 Basketball Life Lessons 45:49 What I Wish Dad Said 52:31 Saying I Love You 55:04 Rat Pack Reflections 01:00:03 Closing and Recurring Guest #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow Rob: https://instagram.com/weaver_robert https://instagram.com/thedooddadtribe Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

That's Not Really You | Adjusting for Acceptance | Ep 212 | The Dear Son, Show
Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood. Dear Son: Why Can’t People Safely Dislike Anymore? | Boundaries, Groupthink & Raising Kids to Think Hosts Jey Blac and D Johns open with D’s birthday and a recap of Eden’s first night cheering at a football doubleheader, then shift into a discussion sparked by social media about why disagreeing or disliking something is increasingly labeled as “hate.” They explore how public platforms amplify conflict, how kids absorb “if you’re not with me you’re against me,” and why parents must teach independent thinking, respectful disagreement, and boundaries. They debate whether you must “defend” a dislike, emphasizing that “no” is a complete sentence while acknowledging times when explaining helps collaboration. They connect this to trends, relationships, modeling healthy communication, avoiding stagnation disguised as preference, and distinguishing dislike from disrespect, support from respect, and personal preference from groupthink. 00:00 Sports Fans and Hate 01:21 Welcome and Birthday Talk 02:04 Cheer Game Schedule Chaos 04:05 Celebrate Life and Loss 04:50 Why Dislike Feels Unsafe 08:00 Teaching Independent Thinking 11:37 Do You Need to Explain 15:12 Boundaries and Relationship Safety 21:24 Parenting Guardrails and Timelines 25:36 Personal Preference in Public 28:16 Trend Parenting Reflection 29:00 Guacamole Bias Check 30:39 False Ceilings and Avoidance 32:18 Why Dont You Like It 34:17 Preference Without Hate 38:11 Respect Versus Support 40:45 Peace Comfort Compliance 45:42 Groupthink and Music Takes 49:44 Final Thoughts and Updates #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Shop DSN Merch: https://thedearsonshop.store Follow James: https://instagram.com/jeyblac Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.

My Son Chose Money Over the NFL | Fatherhood and Finances | Ep 211 | The Dear Son, Show
From Jordans to $580K: Teaching Kids Ownership with Wall Street With Wallace On the Dear Son Show, host Jey Blac welcomes financial analyst and chief market strategist Wallace Fisher (“Wall Street With Wallace”), a husband, father in a blended family of seven, and Christ follower, to discuss fatherhood through financial literacy. Fisher shares how his investing journey began with Home Depot’s employee stock plan and 401(k), how a spiritual advisor inspired him to give assets instead of big Christmas gifts, and how consistently buying his son stocks in companies he used helped build a portfolio that reached $580,000—leading the son to quit football due to CTE concerns and pursue portfolio management. They discuss starting early with kids, routines for learning the market, the dangers of internet “tips,” the value of mentorship and accountability, and beginner approaches like disciplined saving, ETFs, and researching fundamentals.
