Dads Interrupted is a podcast exploring the intersection of modern fatherhood, masculinity, and personal growth. Hosted by Fred Van Riper, a men’s coach, corporate facilitator and dad of 12+ years, this show dives into honest, vulnerable conversations about the challenges and triumphs of being a man, a dad, and a partner today. We tackle the outdated models of masculinity that hold us back and uncover fresh insights to help men lead with purpose, connection, and authenticity—at home and beyond. As a Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator, Fred calls men 𝙞𝙣—into deeper connection, shared responsibility, and a vision of leadership that includes equity at home, in the workplace, and in the community. And in doing so, he sets men 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚—free from outdated societal expectations, restrictive masculinity, and the silent burdens that keep them from the thriving relationships and fulfilling lives they truly want. Breaking old patterns isn’t about losing power—it’s about 𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 something far greater: respect, intimacy, and a legacy of partnership that strengthens not only your marriage but the world your children will inherit.
