Dear Son, I’m Listening | A Conversation With My Son | The DSP Ep 9
from Dear Son, · host Derek Johns
Dear Son, I'm listening. No really, I hear you. This will forever be the most meaningful conversation I have on this platform as it is reflection of how the podcast was birthed. See, I wasn't great at communicating important life lessons to my son. Heck, I'm still a work in progress. The articulation has never been my challenge, but great articulation does not a great communicator make (at least not that alone). This journey is about overcoming the fears, the inadequacies, the shortcomings of being father. I am convinced that we can shift the trajectory of the next generation of fathers through vulnerable, transparent conversations about fatherhood. Me and my lofty dreams....I get it. This is the cause, my hill if you will, upon which my life's work will be built. Legacy. The condensed version is that I love my sons (and daughters equally), and will invest in them daily to ensure they are prepared for the world that awaits. Grab a snack and enjoy. This is going to be a great one! Be blessed, fam. #fatherhood #blackfathers #breakingnegativecycles #iloveyouson Support the pod by supporting our sponsors: Johns & Co Apparel: www.johnsandcompany.co Love Kisha J Studios: www.etsy.com/shop/LoveKishaJStudios Let’s connect socially: www.instagram.com/thedearsonpodcast www.twitter.com/dearsonpodcast www.facebook.com/thedearsonpodcast --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
