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. Joi...

If you've ever lost someone or something important to you, you know how devastating the emotional burden of loss can be.  Imagine you're on a hike while carrying a massive backpack, except you're stuck and struggling to move forward with all the weight on your shoulders. The worst part is, that weight can rear its ugly head in your relationships with your family and friends if you haven't learned...

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...

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...

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 b...

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 acro...

It's no secret that smartphones are the ultimate buzzkill for quality time with family. I'm sure most of us have been guilty of being on our phones more than we'd like to admit. And today's guests, Heath Wilson and Joey Odom, are on a mission to change that.  These guys are the brains behind Aro , a company on a mission to help people put down their phones so they can be fully present while spendi...

We talked about his new book and how entrepreneurs can buy back their time, meaningful ways to talk to your kids to praise them for their effort, tell them what you love about them and eliminate entitlement and much more. For those that don't know,...

When we watch someone have incredible success, it's easy to think that that person has life figured out. But as Gino Wickman will tell you, even top achievers carry a ton of baggage and trauma from their past that affects their personal and professional relationships. We often think we can't succeed without using those traumas as fuel to crush it at work. But until we realize we can remove them an...

For any family man and entrepreneur, there are many things (and people) that are asking for your time and attention. But if we get lost in our to-do list, we'll miss out on those magical moments with our kids and spouse that deepen our connection with them. Taking a few minutes each day to pause and connect with our family can help us to remember why we are working so hard in the first place.  It'...

The truth is, if we're crushing it at work but not doing the same at home with our spouse/partner, eventually, it'll catch up with you, and everything (and everyone) suffers the consequences. Men have been taught that showing vulnerability in relationships is a sign of weakness. So we build walls to shield ourselves from the hurt and pain that can come with opening up to our partner. And when thos...

Have you ever thought about writing a book?  I believe every dad should at least consider putting their knowledge, stories, and strategies on paper.  YOU have wisdom, and yes…you should model that for your family and business, AND consider the impact you'd have if you put all this on paper, in an organized way, that could live on forever.  In 2017, I self-published The Front Row Factor for several...

"The great plague of the modern man is numbness." - John Wineland It's natural for men to be in tune with their masculine energy because we're wired to win and to provide for our family. But if we're not integrating our feminine energy, we're not healing our mind, body, or heart. Lots of people have something that they struggle with. Whether it's insecurities, anxiety, a fear of failure, or all of...

Gentlemen, we're changing things up a bit on the podcast today and having a little bit of, shall we say… family fun. Today's guests are Alyce Dailey, her husband and fellow FRD brother Seth Dailey and their daughter Karissa. We probably could have had all four of their girls for this chat if they weren't in school… or in Nepal with my son Tiger bungee jumping off a 500-foot bridge! It's still craz...
