Dr. Jason Frishman's dad didn't say the words "I love you" often. But he did write him a magical story.
Perhaps that's why Jason is a narrative therapist and men's coach today.
He openly acknowledges that although he is a men's coach and therapist, he still has his own work to do. Jason tells us his kids are his best teachers and shares how they remind him how important that is.
He talks about the importance of accountability, of being on the path to being the best father he can be, and of including adventure, fun and playfulness into your fatherhood journey.
Jason shares his unique spin on his core values self-assessment to drive actionable core behaviors.
Throughout the conversation, you'll hear insights and tips that emphasize the power of storytelling - how telling our stories in community can heal us from the inside out.
And perhaps to consider that you don't just have a story to tell, but a story to craft.
The words we use matter, and this conversation doesn't disappoint!
All this and more...

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 No outdated "authority" models.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.
Ready to go deeper?
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.
