Front Row Dads with Jon Vroman

Fellas, here's an interesting one for you…  How would your wife rate you on a scale from 1 to 10 in the areas of Work, Health, Kids and Marriage?  That's one of the big questions during today's conversation with my buddy, Dane Espegard.  Dane's a member of Front Row Dads, rock star relationship builder, and someone who is continuously improving in all 4 of these buckets.  I know for me, it's prett...

Can you think back to a moment when you lost your cool with your wife or kids? What's going on when our emotions get the best of us? What if instead of defaulting to anger, judgement, defensiveness and frustration, we could better understand the feelings of everyone involved, and empathize more effectively with others' perspectives? Helping me answer these questions is Nathanael Chawkin, who speci...

For a lot of guys, gift giving oftentimes lacks true meaning.  How many holidays have you made a last minute purchase the night before, or decided to buy something just because it has an impressive sticker price? As if a more expensive gift will show your wife just how much you love her lol.  Gifts should make your loved ones feel valued and appreciated, not forgotten and misunderstood. It's somet...

As entrepreneurs and business owners, we've all taken tests like Myers-Briggs, DISC, and Core Values Index to better understand who we are and where we naturally shine. But so few of us have used tools like these to understand our strengths as parents , even though it's one of the most important roles in our lives! Today's guest, my friend Brandon Miller , is the co-author of Incredible Family: Di...

Do you have true companions in your life?  And let's back up for a minute -- how do you define a true companion anyways?   Is your wife a true companion?  Returning to the show, my friend Dr. Kelly Flanagan and I are going to talk about how to build true companionship with the people who are most important to us.   Before Kelly joined the Front Row Dads brotherhood, I knew him as a speaker, elite-...

Are you running on the neuroscience of love and connection, or fear and reactivity? For many, fear and reactivity are driving your actions more than we realize. In this show, we're going to address how to fix this and lead from a centered and controlled energy. Mike Wagner has been on a path to evolve as a father. He's a member of the Front Row Dads Brotherhood, and is going to share his personal...

For many of us, the money we make is directly related to the amount of time we put into something. When we are directly responsible for growing our businesses, writing books, or traveling to speaking events - to name just a few examples - we are putting time in to get money out . As we all know, this comes at a cost, and every hour we grind is an hour spent not focused on our families. My friend J...

For high achieving Dads, it's far too common to get sucked into cycles of success. When we're addicted to being busy, it's easy to let ourselves think that we just need to write one more book or do one more round of speaking events – and providing for our families becomes our excuse to keep going.  So, how do we get the job done AND show up for our families?  Earlier this year, Brock Blake had to...

Very few kids understand money, investing, charitable giving, or financial literacy by the time they finish high school. As parents, a lot of us learned about money the hard way, through struggles and tough decisions, but our experiences don't always make it easier to teach our kids how to make great financial decisions. When COVID-19 brought in-person schooling to a crashing halt, family wealth m...

What are you doing to create structure and stay productive as you navigate the chaos of your life, both at home and at work?  How do you take a stand when you need to, have tough conversations, and take big risks to truly understand everything that's out there?  If you're looking for answers to questions like these, today's conversation - one of my favorites I've had all year - is for you. I'm spe...

This year, practically everyone experienced some form of failure. A lot of things that didn't work, didn't take hold, or set us back as we navigated extraordinary challenges in our personal health, our marriages, and our ability to parent. But why fixate on that? Why not explore what did work?  Today, Front Row Dad members Mike Higgins, John Kane and I are getting together for an honest conversati...

So many parents who own businesses want to help their children dream big. We want our kids to be able to turn their visions into reality, no matter what they want to do. However, it isn't always easy to teach those skills. You may not be able to tell if your kids are serious when they come to you with an idea. You also may not know how to help them get the clarity they need to take that idea serio...

How's your sex life? 1-10 scale, if 10 means you're totally on fire!   How would you wife rate it?   When was the last time you had a totally honest chat about it?  Many guys think it's great (and their partner may or may not agree), while other guys wish it were 10x better.  A few years ago, for me personally, my wife and I were lacking something -- spoken clearly, things were predictable, routin...
