In this episode of Introspective Insight: The Black Wall Street Podcast, King Dev and Magic Gretzky sit down with Guest Host Bri for a wide-ranging conversation on parenting, boundaries, culture, and what it really means to raise kids in today’s world.

The episode opens with the word of the show, Jnana, a Sanskrit term meaning absolute insight gained through study and self-awareness. From there, the conversation moves through everything from first impressions and cultural bias, to mental health awareness, respect, and how trauma shows up in parenting styles.

The hosts break down Pastor Mike Todd’s comments on children cursing in front of their parents and challenge the idea that removing boundaries equals emotional safety. They discuss respect versus repression, time and place, and why teaching kids how to communicate matters more than pretending certain behaviors don’t exist.

The episode also dives into gentle parenting, survival vs love-based upbringing, hyper-independence, and how technology, social media, and instant gratification are reshaping childhood. Throughout the conversation, one message stays consistent: kids need structure, presence, and space to actually be kids.

This is an honest, layered discussion about culture, community, parenting, and responsibility, without filters or performative takes.

Tap in, reflect, and join the conversation.
