Dads Interrupted

What does it mean to be a good man—and a present dad—in a world that never taught you how? Dads Interrupted is a podcast about fatherhood, masculinity, and the journey to becoming the man your family actually needs. Hosted by men’s coach and dad of 12+ years Fred Van Riper, Dads Interrupted dives deep into the conversations men aren’t having—but desperately need. We explore what it means to lead with purpose, break free from outdated roles, and build the kind of relationships that change everything—at home, at work, and in your own head. You’ll hear honest, real-world stories from men navigating fatherhood, marriage, emotional growth, and the myths that hold us back. As a Certified Fair Play Facilitator, Fred offers tools for shared responsibility, emotional leadership, and creating a home that works for everyone. This isn’t about losing power—it’s about gaining something far greater: Respect. Intimacy. Legacy. If you’re ready to break the cycle and build something better—this podcast is your starting point.
