Episode 154: Unlearning Ego
from Black Men Think Podcast Hosted by Black Men Think
In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the fellas use the recent back-and-forth involving T.I., his sons, and 50 Cent as a jumping-off point for a deeper conversation about fatherhood, ego, and legacy. What happens when our public conflicts become lessons for our children? Are we modeling leadership, emotional control, and wisdom or are we unintentionally passing down pride and reactionary behavior? We unpack what it looks like to raise sons in the social media era, where every disagreement can become content and every response is permanent. The conversation explores generational differences in masculinity, knowing when to step in as a father, and when to let your son learn on his own. We also reflect on the responsibility that comes with being an example, especially in a world that rewards clap-backs over composure. We also tackle the question: What did we have to unlearn from our father? Which leads us down the road of understanding the reasons why our father's did the things they did and realizing we wanted to do some things differently. 👇 Join the conversation 📞 Leave a voicemail: 404-939-6477 🎧 Support the pod and get exclusive episodes on Patreon: www.patreon.com/blackmenthink
