Discipline over Motivation

In this episode, we sit down with Yashar Jones, founder and leader of the Locked‑In Fatherhood Alliance, an organization committed to strengthening families by restoring and empowering fathers.

Yashar shares the heart behind his work — why fatherhood matters, how absence impacts generations, and what it looks like to truly be locked in as a man, a parent, and a leader. He walks us through the mission of Locked-In Fatherhood Alliance and the practical ways his organization is creating space for healing, accountability, and growth for fathers across our city.

This conversation goes beyond programs and titles. We talk about:


  • The responsibility men carry as fathers and father figures
  • Breaking cycles that have existed for generations
  • How strong fathers help build safer, healthier communities
  • The vision Yashar has for Spokane and the role men must play in it
  • Why mentorship, support, and presence change everything

Yashar brings clarity, conviction, and vision — not just for fathers, but for the future of our city. This episode is a reminder that when fathers show up, families grow stronger — and when families grow stronger, communities thrive.


Tap in. This is a powerful one.
