Next up in our Member Takeover Series, we’re handing the mic over to my good friend and legend in the FRD Brotherhood, Kasim Aslam. Kasim is joined by a very special guest, his cousin, Farhan Rizvi. Farhan’s life reads like a movie script: His mom died when he was 13, he got married at 18, and welcomed his first child at 19 –  and has been crushing it ever since.

Enjoy this conversation as they dive into the art, struggles, and beauty of raising kids while hustling in the business world. Please share the episode and let us know what you think in the comments and reviews!

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.  

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? 

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
