Welcome back to Breaking Through Glass Ceilings with Uncomfortable Conversations, Brian H. Waters sits down with his son Jonathan for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the generational divide between how they were raised and how kids are raised today.They cover it all — why physical media is disappearing, how Covid rewired an entire generation's social habits, the death of the mall as a "third place," and Jonathan's blunt take on why overly strict parenting backfires: kids who are locked down too tight aren't avoiding bad decisions, they're just planning them for later. The conversation turns into real advice for parents on communication, trust, and letting kids have space to grow — without losing them.Don't forget to hit that subscribe button, drop a like, and leave a comment below with your thoughts on how parenting and technology have shaped today's youth!Remember: Do not let anyone place a ceiling above your success.

On this episode of Breaking Through Glass Ceilings, Brian H. Waters sits down with Marc "Cheats" Cheatham, founder of the Black Baseball Mixtape — the platform built to spotlight Black baseball fans, players, and culture at every level of the game, from Little League to the Majors. Cheats shares the story of how one conversation with Ken Griffey Jr. about photography (not baseball) opened doors that led to four straight MLB All-Star Weeks, how a random Instagram list of "dream guests" led to Bruce Maxwell sliding into his DMs within the hour, and why the game still needs to build buzz around today's stars like Mookie Betts, CJ Abrams, and James Wood — not just the legends of the 90s. He also opens up about raising his son inside this world, including the time he sat beside Derek Jeter at a charity dinner and had no idea who he was.
