Youth Online Safety | Parenting Pressure | Conversations on Identity | Finding Grace
About this episode
Jerry Agar discusses youth online safety, parenting pressures, identity in Canada, and insights from Rocco Rossi's novel Finding Grace.
Jerry Agar explores why social media bans may miss the mark when it comes to protecting young people, highlighting perspectives from youth on what actually improves online safety. Listeners weigh in on parenting ambition, debating whether pushing kids toward stardom—sparked by reflections on Taylor Swift’s success—can do more harm than good, especially for other children. The conversation then shifts to identity and perception in Toronto, as former CSIS and RCMP undercover operative Mubin Shaikh discusses the complexities of being brown in Canada amid heightened tensions following a high-profile police killing. The hour wraps with author and business leader Rocco Rossi, who shares insights from his novel Finding Grace, a story about grief, personal growth, and the search for human connection.
