Strong. Silent. Stuck? The BS That’s Holding Men Back with Jeremy Roadruck

Dads Interrupted

What happens when a former factory worker, martial artist, and hypnotherapist turns his focus to helping men master their emotions, show up as better partners and dads, and stop suffering in silence?

This conversation with Jeremy Roadruck is a powerful blend of personal story, practical insight, and radical redefinition of what it means to be strong.

Topics include:

• The belief systems that shape men’s reality (and how to rewrite them)
• Emotional intelligence and the power of self-awareness
• Communication strategies for marriage, parenting, and self-leadership
• How to turn frustration into fascination
• Breaking the cycle of shame, silence, and isolation in men’s lives
• Shifting from “being right” to “getting results” in relationships

Takeaway:

If you're tired of defaulting to anger, shutting down, or feeling like you have to fix everything—this episode offers a new path. Jeremy shows us how strength, presence, and leadership start on the inside. It’s not about being harder—it's about being wiser.

About the Host:

Hi, I'm Fred Van Riper—husband, father, former construction professional, and creator of the Connection Architecture Process. I help growth-oriented leaders become more clear, confident, and connected through transformational leadership development.

I work with leaders who are successful on paper but know there's another level available—leaders who want to architect genuine connection rather than hope for it. Whether you're leading teams, building businesses, or navigating the complexities of modern fatherhood, everything starts with how you lead yourself.

This podcast explores the intersection of leadership, connection, and authentic living. No corporate fluff. No outdated "authority" models. Just real conversations about the invisible forces that shape how we show up—and practical tools to transform them.

My approach combines unconventional methods with proven frameworks because breakthrough moments happen when we bypass the analytical mind and access our authentic leadership wisdom. Think leadership archaeology, emotional weather systems, and connection as a competitive advantage.

The Connection Blueprint is my flagship 3-week leadership development experience launching September 2025. This live "course" is designed for leaders who see connection skills as leadership development, not crisis management. Reserve your spot here.

Everything begins with how you lead yourself. Your success, how you handle failure, conflict, and challenging emotions—it all connects back to how connected you are to yourself and others. Let's architect that connection together.
