Cord shares how he learned to cook out of necessity in Mississippi summers, how a Food Network recipe sparked his passion, and how he turned cooking videos into a fast-growing business during the pandemic after working as a claims adjuster. He discusses meeting his wife before his platform took off, building as a team without ego, and the flexibility and mental load of being an entrepreneur-parent.

Forgive to a Fault: When Grace Becomes a Trap | Ep 225 | 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. Forgive to a Fault: When Grace Becomes a Trap | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss “the forgive to a fault fallout,” exploring whether anything is truly unforgivable, how forgiveness differs from reconciliation, and how expecting forgiveness can erode its value. They unpack how endless forgiveness and unspoken boundaries can create the illusion that harmful behavior is acceptable, leading to resentment, exhaustion, and eventual blowups. The conversation stresses the need to communicate clearly rather than relying on others to “read the room,” especially within family dynamics where children may be conditioned to undervalue themselves and tolerate neglect. They share examples about overextending, misinterpreting increased effort as forgiveness, and the consequences of reacting impulsively. The episode closes by encouraging self-awareness, taking time to process, and articulating issues even after calming down. 00:00 Unforgivable Questions 01:02 Show Intro and Hosts 01:32 Live Show Announcement 02:17 Life Updates and Gratitude 03:51 Forgive to a Fault 05:27 Is Anything Unforgivable 06:24 Forgiveness Versus Reconciliation 10:16 Communicating Boundaries 15:34 Family Dynamics and Assumptions 19:19 Fallouts of Overforgiving 21:34 Doing More Is Not Forgiving 25:16 Teamwork Through Communication 26:10 When Forgiveness Enables 28:25 Ambition Versus Family Time 29:59 The Chocolate Cake Wakeup 31:56 Conditioning Kids to Settle 35:21 Forgiveness Is a Choice 39:02 Know Yourself Before You Snap 40:41 Road Rage and Real Consequences 45:21 Healing Means Avoiding Triggers 46:53 Articulate and Process Conflict 49:30 Show Updates and Farewell #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 Big Black Therapist: Triggers, Healing, and Intentional Fatherhood | Ep 224 | 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. My Big Black Therapist on Triggers, Healing, and Intentional Fatherhood | Dear Son Show On the Dear Son Show, host D. Johns talks with therapist Demani Anderson (“My Big Blac Therapist”) about what success in therapy really looks like: intrusive inner conversations and triggers may not disappear, but therapy builds tools to recognize, ground, and respond differently. Demani shares how losing his mother at 21, growing up as a large Black only child with identity pressures, and later reconnecting with his father shaped his path to therapy and his brand name, which challenges stereotypes. They discuss being intentional in marriage and parenting, validating children’s experiences (especially post-pandemic), separating intent from impact, asking for help, managing biases through real relationships, and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. 00:00 Therapy Success Defined 01:07 Show Intro and Guest 03:28 Family Wins This Week 05:42 Learning Intentionality 07:30 Path Into Therapy 07:43 Identity and Childhood 09:45 Loss and Breaking Point 11:17 Becoming Big Blac Therapist 13:05 Healing With Mom 14:43 Imposter Syndrome Talk 16:54 Therapy Tools Not Erase 18:19 Why Everyone Needs Therapy 19:37 Pandemic Impact on Kids 21:02 Stop Dismissing Children 23:53 Free Therapy Dallas County 25:13 Parents Guilt About Therapy 27:17 Generational Trauma Context 30:36 When to Push Through 31:51 Work Ethic Inherited 32:47 Beyond Survival Mode 34:21 Process Before You Crash 35:09 Therapist vs Husband Dad 36:30 Holding Space Across Differences 38:58 Naming Biases Intentionally 42:48 Capacity And Taking Off Cape 46:06 Asking For Help Personally 48:04 Owning The Brand 55:20 Choosing The Right Partner 01:00:22 Meeting Dad And Forgiveness 01:04:44 What I Wish He Said 01:07:29 Final Takeaways And Where To Find #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 Damani: https://instagram.com/mybigblacktherapist https://mybigblacktherapist.com 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.

Maybe It Is Harder for Our Kids | Don't Dismiss Their Struggles | Ep 223 | 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… It Might Be Harder for You: COVID, Tech, and Not Dismissing Their Struggles In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, D Johns and Jey Blac discuss how modern pressures—technology, social media, shifting norms, and the lasting effects of COVID—may make life harder for today’s young men. Jey Blac shares concern after hearing an “off” tone in his son’s voice following missed calls and texts, prompting him to pivot from frustration to checking in and offering space to talk. They reflect on how parents can dismiss children’s difficulties by comparing them to their own experiences, and how isolation, lost milestones like graduation, and changing work culture have reshaped expectations. The conversation emphasizes reading the room, acknowledging impact even when it isn’t a loud cry for help, and approaching kids’ struggles with neutrality, support, and humility. 00:00 Worried Dad Call 02:04 Show Intro Setup 02:47 Life Updates Loss 03:37 Support And Growth 04:47 Harder For You 06:34 COVID Parenting Blindspots 09:33 Son Sounds Off 13:12 Isolation And Expectations 16:01 Workforce Waiting Season 18:07 Marriage Reading The Room 20:30 Not Always About You 21:21 Rethinking Toughness 22:10 Damani on Lost Milestones 23:39 COVID Norms and Business Shifts 27:45 Kids Need Space to Share 29:19 Common Core Patience Lesson 32:33 Work From Home and Kids Perception 34:41 Hard Is Relative for Generations 36:34 Grinding for Opportunity 41:27 Information Age Overload 44:14 Neutral Parenting Closing #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.

Autism Is A Superpower | Daycare Abuse to Autism Advocacy | Ep 222 | 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. From Daycare Abuse to Autism Advocacy: Will Adams on Fatherhood, Purpose & The Village Network In this episode of The Dear Son Show, host D Johns sits down with neighbor and nonprofit founder Will Adams, Sr. to discuss fatherhood, identity, and purpose through the lens of raising a son with autism. Will shares how his family discovered his youngest son’s needs after a daycare abuse case surfaced six months later through CPS, leading to a difficult diagnosis process and years of depression he largely masked while in corporate America. He explains the importance of early intervention, therapies, and ABA, and describes meaningful milestones like hearing his son say “Happy New Year” and progressing to full sentences. Will also talks about being laid off, ego and provision, building The Village Network to support fathers and families navigating autism, and challenging misconceptions while encouraging kindness and education about special needs. 00:00 Daycare Abuse Shock 01:21 Show Welcome Guest Intro 02:48 Life After Corporate Exit 04:00 Building The Village Network 06:42 Layoff Ego And Purpose 13:30 Kids Notice The Changes 16:20 How Autism Was Discovered 19:58 Diagnosis Depression And Masking 21:50 Early Intervention And ABA 25:08 Accepting A New Fatherhood 28:33 Learning Love And Communication 30:26 First Words Moment 32:19 Milestones Worth Celebrating 33:42 Family Shift and Legacy 35:52 Autism Misconceptions 38:28 Advocacy as a Black Dad 40:24 Dad Linkups Safe Space 42:28 Authenticity Over Clout 44:23 Called to the Work 51:33 Grace and Fear of Success 58:19 Fatherhood Without a Dad 01:01:03 Where to Find The Village 01:01:45 Final Message Be Kind #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 Will: https://instagram.com/thavillagepodcast https://instagram.com/bigsir_84 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.

Don't Let Anyone Disqualify You | Ep 221 | 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: Don’t Get Your Qualifications Disqualified On The Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss how people can “disqualify” themselves despite being qualified—through pride, distractions, emotional reactions, or poor decisions. They reflect on fatherhood challenges like knowing when to let sons learn lessons the hard way, recognizing different expressions of focus, and helping children seek support such as tutors or therapy without making it about parental failure. The conversation covers owning outcomes and opportunity cost, finding mentors, staying consistent when consequences from the past surface, and not letting one negative comment outweigh broader impact. They also share workplace lessons about power, courtesy, and long-term cycles of authority, plus a personal story about wasting time over a $25 tire plug as a reminder to pause before acting on frustration. 00:00 Let Them Learn Lessons 01:10 Welcome to Dear Son 01:33 Fall Check In and Community 02:26 Making Space for Priorities 03:57 Qualifications Disqualified 05:49 Don’t Let Doubt In 09:36 Distractions After Graduation 13:44 Pushing Without Controlling 17:00 Asking for Help Matters 20:27 Own Your Outcome 21:55 Mentors for Young Men 24:14 When You Need New Tools 26:41 Learning Through Deficiency 28:04 Understanding Depression Together 28:56 Ego and Asking for Help 29:41 Stop Justifying Relapse 34:05 Consequences Lag Lesson 34:45 Money Habits and Lifestyle Creep 38:48 Gatekeepers and Compassion 43:09 Seize Teachable Moments 46:04 Power Leapfrog and Humility 48:53 Yesterday Today Tomorrow Balance 50:41 Tire Shop Value Lesson 54:45 Final Fatherhood Takeaways #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.

I Asked My Dad the Toughest Questions | Ep 4 Remastered | 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. A Father-Son Conversation on Legacy, Loss, and Breaking Cycles | Dear Son Network (Ep. 4 – 5-Year Anniversary) D Johns re-releases and remasters his first unscripted podcast conversation with his father, Leonard Johns, for the show’s five-year anniversary. Leonard reflects on growing up in a stable two-parent home, his father’s early death at 46, and how a largely nonverbal, hardworking dad shaped his own parenting style. They discuss fond memories of his father’s carpentry, the pain of returning from Vietnam to face family loss, guilt and unprocessed grief, and how those experiences influenced Leonard’s distance, discipline, and later self-reflection—especially after a prostate cancer diagnosis that refocused him on legacy and family. The two address misunderstandings from D.’s childhood, generational differences, marriage and affection models, and the purpose of the platform: clarifying, healing, and ending negative cycles.

From DUIs to Redemption: Steve Anderson on Addiction, Prison, Fatherhood & Faith | Dear Son Show Steve Anderson joins D Johns on The Dear Son Show to share how alcohol-fueled choices led to multiple DUIs, fighting, a felony DUI with great bodily injury, and eventually a third DUI that sent him to prison for a year and a half. He describes a turning point through Christian rehab, his father’s unwavering support, and leading a growing Bible study in prison where dozens of men got saved. Steve discusses leaving corporate to become an entrepreneur, facing his 13-year-old daughter’s suicidal ideations, relapse risks, and the importance of community and accountability through The Good Dad Tribe.
