Today, I’m joined by Garrett Weber-Gale and Justin Moss, the creators of Discover Term. This is a life-changing adventure where kids get out of the house for 5 weeks, away from their parents, ignite their passion and discover their true potential. This is an education experience tailored for 6th-9th graders, designed to help them push boundaries and explore who they really are and what they’re capable of by unplugging from their screens and learning - without limits - in the mountains of Colorado or near the ocean in Costa Rica.  When we talk about creating memories that will last a lifetime for our kids, this is the stuff that gets me fired up. Also, there’s an enrollment window for October with spots still available. So dig in, I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation. A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through… Olympic gold medal?

Is the education system dropping the ball with our children? Our world is changing at breakneck speed, and as parents, it’s our job to make sure our kids aren’t left behind.  My guest, Navid, is the Co-Founder of The Knowledge Society (TKS), the world’s first “human accelerator” exposing teens to future-shaping tools like AI, blockchain, and green energy.  One of his students, Viola Seda, has worked with AI in billion-dollar companies and was part of a team working on a cure for type-2 diabetes using gene therapy and nanotech. The crazy part is, she’s 14 years old! Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: How schools fail to prepare our kids. Kids can impact the world too! Help them to find their calling, then step aside.   Learn more from life's stumbles. The downside of parental overprotection.  Unconditional love to take on the world.  Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Eighteen summers. That's about all the time we have to really connect with our children before they step into the next phase of their life.   And if we're not careful, we can easily lose track of how quickly those summers slip away. That's why I'm absolutely thrilled to share this conversation with Jim Sheils. Jim is the co-founder of Board Meetings International, a company that specializes in parent/child retreats for entrepreneurs and their children. He's also a partner in the largest build-to-rent organization in the United States, with over a whopping $600 million in assets under management that pulls in over $40 million annually for investors. Jim's work has been celebrated in the Front Row Dads community for years, and for good reason. Known as the "Crazy Glue" for entrepreneur families, Jim felt compelled to address one of the most tragic issues of modern life - the disconnect between hard-working entrepreneurs and their families.  He developed the legendary "Family Board Meeting" process that has helped thousands of business owners strengthen their bond with their families. And I'll just say that my son Ocean loves it! We all do. He keeps the countdown chart ready for our next board meeting! He's also the author of The Family Board Meeting, which I highly recommend you check out. In fact, we have a real treat for you today, gentlemen.  One last thing! If you've already read the book and you'd like a new copy, show Jim some love, write a review, and email a screenshot to us [email protected] with your address, and we'll mail you a copy.  And if you're new to the podcast or our community, write a review of this episode, send a screenshot to the same address, and if you're among the first five people to do it, we'd be happy to send you a free copy as well. (US Residents Only) In our conversation, you’ll learn: The key ingredients for making the Board Meeting work like a charm in your family. Three steps for building trust in your family that’ll last forever. How to crush the walls and barriers that are between you and your children. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Quality time is the best gift we can give our loved ones.  Rules for getting the whole family involved in your “Board Meeting.”  How steering clear of toxic people improves your relationships. What doesn’t get scheduled doesn’t get done.  Why Jim’s bond with his wife gets better with time.   Ego is the biggest roadblock to personal growth and intimacy.  Guiding your kids to figure out life on their own.  Get rid of your need for perfection; it’ll make life more fulfilling.

Anyone who has been in a loving marriage will tell you that there are peaks and valleys along the way. So what happens when things aren’t going so well?   For some, playing the blame game and pretending you’re the victim is the natural response. But as today’s guest will tell you, when you fully surrender and ask yourself some tough questions about your role in the relationship, a pathway to move forward in the midst of a dark time can be found.  After enjoying tremendous success for over 20 years as a serial entrepreneur, Brent Perkins’ life shifted in 2021 with a difficult divorce. This led him on a journey of personal growth and a book called Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion.  Brent is a Dad to two amazing daughters and has already made a huge impact in our FRD Brotherhood. His contributions have led to a significant increase in participation in our Bands which has been awesome to watch. So, today we’re talking about what it really means to surrender, the role that blissful ignorance plays in our relationships and how the truths that we believe can become illusions. And if we can embrace the art of self-delusion in a positive way, we can flip the narrative and move forward in a happier and healthier way. In our conversation, you’ll learn: Strategies for modeling, trust, vulnerability, and awareness in our kids. The difference between surrendering and victimhood. How to recognize, unpack, and shatter our self-delusions.  Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Surrendering to the good and bad in life without playing the victim game.  Pitfalls to our pursuit of personal growth. Moments that build anxiety and fear in ourselves. Guiding our kids to vulnerability and earning their trust.   Want to help others? Help yourself first.  Being grateful for the moments when we were jerks. The power of creating space to be vulnerable with other men. How we unintentionally harm those that try to support us.  Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Gentlemen, we are privileged to have not one but TWO incredible human beings with us today. My guests are an inspirational father-son duo, Travis Macy, and his father, Mark "Mace" Macy. For those that don't know, Travis and Mark are legendary endurance athletes. Travis has finished more than 130 ultra-endurance events in 17 countries. And his Dad, Mace, spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Their secret? The Ultra Mindset - a relentless determination that refuses to bow to any obstacle.  When Mark was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Travis and his Dad decided to take on the challenge of Eco-Challenge Fiji together - a grueling seven-day, 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle - for one final race together, to prove that anything is possible with family by your side. In their new book, A Mile at a Time, Travis and Mace weave together excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, telling the story of their incredible journey and what they learned along the way. Their story is one of courage, determination, and above all, love. It's a reminder that in the face of adversity, the ties that bind us give us strength and much more. In our conversation, you’ll learn: Strategies for fostering resilience and mental fortitude. How to cultivate a sense of unity and teamwork within your family. How the “Ultra Mindset” can help as you juggle between training, family, and mental health. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: The deep bond between Travis and Mark and their shared love for endurance racing. Choosing love, happiness, and hope. How to fight for your family’s future and enjoy quality time in the present.  The benefits of exercise and being in nature has on your mental health. Embracing adversity as a catalyst to greater resilience and self-assuredness. Mace’s mantra, “It’s all good training.” Insights for those dealing with Alzheimer’s.  The comfort of having someone besides you who’ll always have your back.

This will be a 7-part series where I'll be asking them about their lives as Dads and we’ll talk about what their experiences have been like so far in our amazing group of family men with businesses, not businessmen with families. I hope you'll check out these conversations with some badass members of our community each week. And don't be afraid to share these episodes with your friends and let us know your thoughts along the way! For anyone that isn't already a Front Row Dads member, you can sign up right here: Join The Brotherhood! Here's what you need to know about today's guest, Ben Golden. Kristian Nylund is father to Adeline (7) and Stella (5) and resides in Spokane, Washington with his girlfriend Kelly.  Growing up with Norwegian immigrant parents who chased the American dream, he learned from an early age that taking risks is vital to success. Having traveled overseas to visit family multiple times throughout his childhood, he developed a love for flying and a passion for traveling/aviation. Kristian started his first flying job at a regional airline (Horizon Air) in 2006, and throughout the next decade accumulated enough flight time flying for airlines and private aircraft owners to get hired at his dream job flying for Delta Air Lines. He is currently a Captain on the Airbus 220 based in Seattle. With the freedom and scheduling flexibility an airline career can offer, it opened the door to find a new challenge in business ownership and real estate investing.  In 2020, Kristian acquired a flight school and aircraft maintenance shop in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. As Co-Owner and Chief Flight Instructor of Coeur d’Alene Aviation & Maintenance, he spends his time teaching and mentoring students and flight instructors to become pilots and future aviation professionals.   Outside of aviation, Kristian and Kelly have taken an interest in real estate investing and have recently acquired multiple properties for both short and long-term rentals in Washington and Northern Idaho. After enduring a divorce and battling alcohol addiction for years, Kristian has embarked on a path to sobriety, dived deep into emotional healing, and dedicated his time to what is most important; becoming the best father, significant other, and person he can be.  Want to learn more about Front Row Dads?

I think we can all agree that when we were kids, things were much different than they are today. Most of us probably spent our days racing our bikes, building forts, and chasing frogs around the pond.  The fact is, our kids are growing up in the middle of a raging mental health crisis. It's no wonder why anxiety and depression are on the rise among teenagers with all the pressure to succeed or be popular with unrealistic expectations fueled by social media, or worse, by their parents. I'm thrilled to have Jason Reid with me today for another conversation on this important topic. Jason is a partner at CEO Coaching International, where he coaches top executives on achieving success. Tragically, after losing his 14-year-old son to suicide in 2018, Jason's focus shifted to helping other families navigate the complex world of mental health.  He founded TellMyStory.org, a nonprofit organization that educates and empowers parents to support their children through mental health challenges. Jason's mission is nothing short of inspiring - to end teen suicide by 2030. In our conversation, you’ll learn: The telltale signs that your child is grappling with depression and anxiety. Parenting strategies for helping kids deal with their mental health struggles. Why institutions are dropping the ball when it comes to tackling the mental health crisis. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: How the media is exacerbating our kids’ insecurities.  The tragedy that transformed Jason into a leading mental health advocate.  Empowering our kids to become “mental health athletes.”  What kids wish their parents knew about their struggles.   The dangers of employing authoritarian tactics on your kids. How to talk to your children so they feel understood and safe to be vulnerable.  How to tell if your child is going through a mental health crisis - and what to do about it.  Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

I'm married to my beautiful wife, Lauren. We have one daughter, Annabelle, who is about a year and a half old and goes by "la princessa" at daycare. She's already working her cuteness on people.  I've spent 15+ years in the energy software space, mainly around energy trading and risk management applications.  From managing sales teams, to global project implementation teams, and customer success organizations I've been on the people facing side my entire career.   One of  my passions is finding that right combination of people and technology and seeing how it can change people's perspectives, engagement, and even lives. The power of an engaged and enabled team is something I am constantly in awe of.   My wife and I have always been working on side projects..  We recently sold our home services business this last summer and are now going head first into real estate.  Specifically, storage facilities under the guidance of Mike Wagner, another FRD legend.   If that wasn't enough, we are in the middle of selling our home in Houston and heading into an RV while we look for a house or property on the Dripping Springs side of Austin.  Wish us luck!  Want to learn more about Front Row Dads?

All right fellas. By now, you’ve probably heard about ChatGPT and how AI is taking over. So what does that mean for us family men with businesses? The way I see it, you can either hop on the train and use AI to level up your Dad game, buy back your time and scale your business. Or, you can dig your heels in and resist it with every fiber of your being and inevitably get left behind in AI dust. Joining me for a mind-bending conversation is none other than Perry Belcher. Perry is an investor and serial entrepreneur who went from incredible success at a young age, to being broke and bankrupt to a multi-millionaire. He co-founded Digital Marketer, a top-notch digital marketing training company with over 300,000 students, and hosts the largest marketing event in North America, the Traffic & Conversion Summit. Once you hear what he has to say about AI and ChatGPT, you’ll come out with a fresh perspective about all the advantages that AI has to offer if we simply take the time to use it properly. Buckle up because AI is here and it ain’t going away. In our conversation, you’ll learn: The incredible story of how Perry earned 800k as a teenager, went bankrupt before he was 22, and bounced back to build a multi-million dollar business. Why ChatGPT, Midjourney, and other technologies are just a drop in the ocean compared to what’s coming.  How individuals and businesses are only scratching the surface of AI's full potential. The ways in which using AI can make you a better parent. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: The impact AI will have on parenting. How infinite intelligence is different from infinite information. Why now’s the time for bold moves with AI. Simple ways that ChapGPT and AI can be used in your business. How YouTube is the greatest resource for learning about AI. Using AI and printers to make our own food?

All right, fellas. Today’s episode is a special one with a bit of a twist. First, I’m joined by an amazing husband and his loving wife, who just happen to have a pretty crazy love story.  You will literally hear the love and respect they have for each other. Not just as business partners but how they are thriving as a blended family and how they handled the co-parenting situation early on, which most step-parents will tell you can be very tricky.  For context: When Joseph came into the picture, Alana was already married with 3 kids, and they all worked together (including Alana’s now ex-husband) in Costa Rica. I won’t spoil the rest. You’ll have to hear it for yourself.  Here are a few things you need to know about them. Joseph Davis Bliss is the Founder of Dads Here Now, where he offers coaching and mentorship to like-minded dads who want to show up as their best selves for their families. This is very much in line with what we’re doing here at Front Row Dads. Alana Bliss has been a certified Permaculture designer and teacher for nearly 20 years. Together, they are creating an eco-village and community designed around sustainable multifamily neighborhoods which is pretty awesome. I’ll simply tee up the episode by saying: How they handled the beginning stages of their relationship is really beautiful. And what they’re doing together as eco-friendly business partners is equally amazing. And when you hear Joseph talk about not being able to tell her kids “Because I said so” and how he’s earned their respect, it’s pretty incredible.  In our conversation, you’ll learn: The incredible story of how they met in Costa Rica and how Joseph became a stepfather and role model to Alana’s kids. The importance of showing your kids what a present and loving relationship looks like.  How to disarm personal conflicts in a loving and supportive manner. How Joseph earned the respect of Alana’s kids as a new parent and stepfather. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: How they met in Costa Rica  Resolving conflict with love, respect and communication  What allows an eco-village to thrive  Embracing the flaws of our loved ones. Success in business is meaningless if it comes at the cost of our family’s well-being.  Why fathers should stop saying “because I said so.” Establishing boundaries and earning respect as a stepfather.  Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

All right fellas. Today’s episode is all about getting our bodies in the best shape possible so that we can be physically fit as Dads but also serve as healthy role models for our kids. Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, the founder of the Fit Father Project, knows a thing or two about helping busy dads get into tip-top shape as they get older and be the best parents they can be. He’s already helped over 47,000 Dads in over 100 countries do it, and I’m thrilled to share this chat with you today.  We’re not talking just about diets and workouts. Anthony believes that we need to find what really motivates us to get and stay healthy, and I couldn’t agree more.  And you know what motivates me? Being fit and energized for my kids and wife when I’m old and gray. Enjoy!      In our conversation, you’ll learn: Workout, nutrition, and lifestyle routines for being strong, energized, and full of life as you age.  The biggest misconceptions men have around their health. Strategies for helping your family embrace a healthier lifestyle.  Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Don’t wait for the wheels to fall off before prioritizing your health. How Anthony primes himself for crushing each day.  Nutrition and workout routines for building muscle and losing fat in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.  Why you should bump your calories up on training days. How to have extreme workouts without the added joint stress. How to create a culture of health in your family without skimping on Taco Tuesdays. Why a Continuous Glucose Monitor can be a game-changer for your kids’ health. Foods that stabilize blood glucose and reduce inflammation. It took Anthony five years to start making money online and years more to create a multi-seven-figure business. Success requires patience.  Why women love passionate men.

Nowadays, it seems that everyone has an opinion on what you should eat and the best way to exercise. But the truth is, if we take better care of our body and overall health, it helps us to be more active Dads with our kids and better husbands to our wives. That’s why I’m absolutely stoked to introduce you to someone that really knows their stuff. Dr. Brett Osborn is a board-certified Neurosurgeon and Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine expert with over four decades of experience under his belt.  He’s the author of Get Serious and let me just say that if you’re looking for a great book about health, fitness, and longevity… this is the one.

Dr. Osborn and I covered a ton of ground during our conversation, and all I can say is... he didn’t pull any punches. We get into the nitty-gritty of dieting, supplements, exercising, and mindset while stripping away all the crap that surrounds them. In our conversation, you’ll learn: Brett’s top anti-aging and fat-reducing dieting and exercise protocols.  Strategies for reducing glucose and inflammation and staving away disease. The five pillars of health that will make you feel stronger, look better, and have boundless energy, regardless of age. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Why inflammation is your #1 enemy. The profound metabolic effects strength training has on your fitness and your longevity.  Why you should eat a salad before you eat something sugary.  Brett’s pre-workout cocktail that helps him crush his workouts.  Tweaking cortisol levels to have energy for intense exercise and better sleep. The health gadget Brett says you need to have. Why Brett puts olive oil in his shakes and which carb sources are better than fruits. The one supplement that gives you the best bang for your buck. Why EMS, ab stimulators, and other “quick hacks” are a scam, and what to do instead. The anti-inflammatory effects of fasting.

Imagine being married for eight years, and suddenly, it’s all over. That’s what happened to Andy Heller. Despite being a complete badass real estate investing consultant, Andy felt clueless during his divorce. After the dust settled, Andy identified a gaping hole in the self-help space for men and women, leaving them stranded without the tools to go their separate ways and create the best possible outcomes for themselves and their kids.  That’s how his new book, Take the High Road: Divorce with Compassion for Yourself and Your Family, was born, and I’m thrilled to share this conversation with you today. This book is not a cookie-cutter self-help guide. It’s the ultimate roadmap for navigating divorce with grace, protecting your assets (and sanity), and securing the best possible future for your loved ones.  In our conversation, you’ll learn: How to tell whether you should pull the trigger and get a divorce. Ways to avoid getting sucked into a divorce power struggle. How to navigate parenting when your kids are raised in two households. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: The more you compromise with your ex-spouse, the better it is for you and your kids. Taking care of your children’s emotional needs during and after the divorce. How to tell if your marriage is beyond saving or just needs rekindling. The often neglected strategy that saves 18% of marriages. Anger and resentment drag you behind. Forgiveness paves the way for a brighter future.

When society tells men to “man up” and “suck it up,” their immediate response is often to bury their true emotions, only to fall into the trap of self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression.  But there is strength in vulnerability, and it takes a courageous heart to explore those insecurities and share them with the world.  It’s my pleasure to share this conversation with Connor Beaton, the visionary behind ManTalks, an international organization focused on men’s wellness, success, and fulfillment.  As an author and speaker who has shared the stage with Lewis Howes and Gary Vaynerchuk, Connor’s unique insights cut through the noise of traditional masculinity, offering men worldwide a guiding light toward a more fulfilling life.  Connor inspires men to confront their weaknesses and embrace their emotions, shattering the ego-driven image of a “real man.”      In our conversation, you’ll learn: How to gain better control of your fears, anger, and self-doubts. How to regulate your mind and body under stress and conflict. Why young men need masculine role models more than ever. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Using your “dark side” as a beacon for finding meaning in life. How the lack of fatherly masculine energy destroys young men. Running away from fear and anger robs our loved ones of our masculine presence. Facing insecurities instead of numbing them down with shallow distractions. Why the best relationships help you grow through pain and trauma. Do this the next time you feel the need to lash out!

Josh Goodman went from being a guy who couldn’t get a drink at a bar to building a multi-million dollar technology company that lets the guests pour their own beer, wine, and cocktails. In 2014, his company PourMyBeer was drowning in over $100,000 in debt, with Josh as the only employee. Today, PourMyBeer's self-serve technology is in 500+ locations worldwide, with over 12,000 taps in service across 23 countries!  What's even cooler is that he built it from scratch - using all his life savings - and made over a million dollars in sales. His incredible journey, from personal hurdles to building a business empire, is detailed in his new book, Tap the Big Idea. And even though Josh is crushing it in his business, he’s a super chill guy who always puts family first, no matter what. It's not often that you come across someone who can balance work and family life so effortlessly, but Josh makes it look easy, and I’m thrilled to have him on the show today. In our conversation, you’ll learn: Strategies for avoiding the common trap of constantly feeling busy. Why relationships are the ultimate scaling strategy. How to strengthen your family bond during tough times. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: Showing your kids what a hard-working and attentive parent looks like. Why some families crumble under turmoil. Hiring the right COO for your business. Prioritizing relationships and trust. Embracing the opportunity to learn from people ahead of you.
