Shit My Dad Taught Me is where real conversations meet fatherhood, life lessons, and laughter. Hosted by Chris Carter and Jamie Kozub, the show dives into what it means to be a modern dad—navigating success, failure, and everything in between. With over 2.5 million monthly views and guests like Rick “the Temp” Campanelli, Ron Foxcroft, Antoine Vaillant, and even the Trailer Park Boys, we’re building a community of men who believe growth starts with honest talk.
Ivan Fredette has lived what many of us fear: addiction, loss, numbing pain. Ivan didn’t hide from it. Instead, he built a way out. After 17 years of battling alcohol addiction and being wounded by the tragic suicides of a cousin and sister, Ivan decided to take full responsibility for his life.
Today, he’s the founder of Ironclad Brotherhood, where men come together to reclaim discipline, purpose, sobriety, and legacy. He’s not just a coach. He’s a man who’s walked through the fire and now guides others through the flames. Outside of the mentorship world, he runs Safe Tree Ltd., a successful 7‑figure business in Niagara, proving transformation applies in business too.
As a husband and father of three, Ivan brings to the table not just business savvy and recovery wisdom, but the real world challenge of living the legacy you teach. In this episode we’ll talk about: how to turn wreckage into leadership, what real accountability looks like for men, how fatherhood reshapes your mission, and why choosing life is the first step to building something meaningful.
