Dear Son,

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.

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: Tomorrow Isn’t Promised — Condensing the Lessons, Health Wake-Ups & Dating vs. Marriage Energy

Hosts D Johns and Jey Blac open the Dear Son Show by reflecting on health wake-up calls, accountability, and support Jey has received while chronicling his fitness and recovery journey. They emphasize that tomorrow isn’t promised and urge parents to “condense” key conversations with their kids rather than delaying important lessons. They discuss how children can misread a parent’s communication, reinforce that love and frustration can coexist, and argue that correction shows belief in a child. The conversation shifts to relationships: distinguishing lust, love, sex, and long-term consequences, warning against applying “marriage energy” in dating, and advising sons to understand value, phases, and self-awareness. They also defend having practical talks about protection without “letting the streets” educate kids, encouraging listeners to stop leaving critical conversations to chance.

From Gangs to Purpose: Louie McClain II on Fatherhood, Identity, and Building Pathways

On The Dear Son Show, host (D Johns) converses with Louie McClain II from Arlington, Texas, who recounts getting involved in gangs, hiding violence and drug activity from his Liberian immigrant mother, and a pivotal school incident caught on camera that devastated her. Louie explains how seeking protection, acceptance, clout, and a father figure drew him deeper into that life amid a diverse, volatile environment, while his biological father was largely absent after moving to Delaware and later kicked him out. After college in Pensacola studying criminal justice, he found purpose helping at-risk young men and worked in juvenile justice for seven years. Now a father of two, he discusses being unprepared for parenting, challenges of having hard conversations with kids, and building a clear vision through entrepreneurship, including Melanin Origins, The Meditative Coach, and leading the nonprofit Building Pathways to connect disadvantaged people to high-paying construction careers.

Dear Son: Which Side of the Process Are You On? Boundaries, Criticism & Real Growth

On The Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss how society treats disagreement and criticism, arguing that always “taking the high road” can enable disrespect if boundaries aren’t set and enforced. They explore “which side of the process” you’re on—waiting for outcomes versus doing the work—using an orange vs. fresh-squeezed juice analogy, and connect it to parenting, public perception, and social media clips shaping opinions. They emphasize training people how to treat you, defending your name when boundaries are breached, and teaching children awareness, environment-reading, and how behavior communicates value—especially in risky social settings. The episode closes with announcements of a docuseries and live event, and a personal doc-style segment beginning August 15, 2026, following a 90-day health journey after a dangerous blood-pressure reading and a commitment to lifestyle and nutrition changes.

NéAndré Broussard on Fatherhood, Vulnerability & Building Blac Menswear | Dear Son Show

On The Dear Son Show, host D Johns talks with NéAndré Broussard—child of God, husband, father, and visionary entrepreneur—about how his Marine father’s disciplined presence shaped his approach to parenting, structure, and being a dad who’s not a friend. Broussard shares how corporate travel and the loneliness of hotel life pushed him toward full-time entrepreneurship, and how his wife Erica’s support, therapy, and better communication helped him lead through a difficult transition while learning to be vulnerable. He explains Blac Menswear’s mission to change narratives about Black men through content, storytelling, experiences, service, and global brotherhood, including navigating early backlash and defining excellence as aspirational. Broussard credits the vision’s origin to Philando Castile’s killing and describes goals to become a destination platform for Black men. Subscribe and comment with the moment that resonated most.
