Value Is Undervalued: Gratitude, Access, and the Cost of Not Letting Go | Dear Son Show
On the Dear Son Show, hosts Jey Blac and D Johns discuss how “value is undervalued,” using examples from family life, finances, and work. They reflect on valuing needs over wants, the difference between price and long-term value, and how experience and expertise are often dismissed out of pride. D shares project-managing the rebuild of his father’s home after a minor fire while navigating his father’s early dementia and difficulty letting contractors lead. They explore protecting access to good people, setting boundaries around unequal exchanges, and how damaged value doesn’t always return—comparing a repaired car’s diminished worth to relationships where apologies don’t guarantee reconciliation. They also mention upcoming Dear Son Network content, including “Unhinged,” and encourage viewers to support other network shows.
