Adam Feck is the founder of Forward 46, a fractional sales management company and the father of 3 girls.
Prior to Forward 46, Adam has worked in a variety of roles - from orthopedic operating rooms to volunteering in the fire and EMS service to ski patroller to owning an orthopedic medical device distributorship to growing a SaaS startup - it seems like there isn't much Adam hasn't done or seen.
And yet, Adam is humble, still seeking growth and opportunities to learn and share his insights along the way.
That's exactly what he has come on Dads Interrupted to do.
Today, Adam discusses what he's learned after 25 years of marriage and raising 3 daughters, ages 22, 19, and 16, with his wife Julie.
We cover feedback, negative self-talk, sales performance, communication...
And he gives away his biggest secret to a successful marriage.
All this and more...
This... is Dads Interrupted.

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 No outdated "authority" models.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.
