Hey fellas,
I wanna thank you for listening to this interview today. It's a very special one, a conversation I had that originally aired back in 2021 with my amazing friend John Ruhlin. Many of you in this community, and many in the entrepreneurial and business world, will know that name, and you likely know that we lost John a month ago suddenly. I've been sitting here at my desk, staring at this microphone, thinking about how I might truly honor this man, what I could say about him, the impact he's had on my life and the lives of so many, how great of a father and husband he was. And honestly, I could be talking for hours.
I'll tell you that I knew this man for decades. I was a groomsman in his wedding. He was one of my best friends. A couple of weeks ago, I went back and I was looking at my text messages and emails with him, and every single exchange was him lifting me up, encouraging me, introducing me to somebody. John was at the very first ever Front Row Dads retreat. He's always been there by my side, in my corner. He's such a giver. That's the thing — John was such a giver. He was an incredibly talented businessman, but he's probably an even better family man, a better human.
When I was at his funeral, I just walked away realizing how much of a better person I want to be because of this man. I want you to listen to his heart in this conversation. We're sharing stories, talking about our failures and our wins, and that’s how it was with John — always the real story. I love his perspective on life. I love his perspective on giving. I'm sharing this interview for a couple of reasons: one, I just want you to know my friend. I want you to hear his message. I think his impact will continue to grow, his legacy will continue to grow.
One thing happened recently that I want to share with you. John’s business partner of 18 years, a wonderful human named Rod, pledged a commitment to the family to remain business partners with John for the next 18 years. So as Giftology continues to grow, Rod will take care of John's wife and children as 50/50 business partners for the next 18 years.
So, friends of John's and people in the entrepreneurial space, we wanted to share John's story with all of you in hopes that, yeah, you know, not only are people going to just use Gift because it's an amazing company, read the book because it's an amazing book, but maybe as a little extra nudge today, in honor of John, go pick up a copy, pick up 100 copies, go visit the website, check it out, because when you engage with the Giftology team, with their services, with the products, you're ultimately supporting John's family. And I wanted to get that message out to all of you.
John's work has had a massive impact. If you went to YouTube and typed in his name, you’d see interview after interview after interview. You’ll love the essence of John, the heart of John. He was a deep man of faith, a good human. I think about my friend Cameron Harold talking about how he kept trying to bribe John to say a curse word, and he just would never do it. He never said anything bad about anybody. He was the type of person who always led with his heart. He gave so much of himself at all times. Story after story at his funeral was about how many lives he touched and how so many people felt that John was such a good friend to them. And that's what it felt like to be in John's company — you were the only one that mattered in the room. He was all in with you, an incredible presence. I think that was his biggest gift to the world: his presence, his energy, and his spirit.
He also taught some really great business principles that you can practice, and you'll know that these are rooted in an extremely high-quality human — John Ruhlin. Again, I don't know what to say, guys. There's so much. But I just want to say thank you for listening today. This has been a very emotional month for me. I left his funeral saying I want to be such a better person. At the same time, over the last several weeks, I found myself being short-tempered with people, maybe angrier than normal. I didn’t even know where that came from, but I've experienced all the emotions on any given day. And I question sometimes if I'm doing enough to love on John and his legacy and to support his family. Sometimes I stumble and don't know what to text or email or say in a recording like this because it never feels like enough.
But I just want to tell you that this man, someone I love, I hope you enjoy this interview, I hope you laugh, as we do and as we did so many times. And if you feel called or moved, his team put together a document, which you can see at giftologygroup.com/rwa, if you wanted to support the family somehow. There are various ways to do that. But also, if you're a business person, one of the greatest ways you can help is by helping your company and learning some business skills that are going to help accelerate your message in the world, which is what John would want. You'll also be helping his family.
So, you can go to giftologygroup.com/rwa, which stands for Referrals Without Asking. That is a program that we want to keep calling attention to right now to honor John and his work, and he wanted this work to be out in the world. So we want to support that. Thank you. I hope you enjoy this conversation. And again, please go give giftologygroup.com and give a look.
Some of my favorite moments of the conversation:
Why gifting alone can’t save a sucky business and adds insult to injury in a struggling marriage. Why the bar is so low in business gift giving - and how to give much more intentional gifts in every area of life. The value of facilitating gift-giving within your family. Childhood wounds that stick with us into adulthood.Get the Full Show Notes

What’s up fellas.
Today you are going to get something a little different, I think you are really going to like it. It's a shorter episode packed the entire way through with insights. It’s part of a live recording that took place last week during a live call – we’re referring to as “A brotherhood experience”
It will give you a real feel for the culture of the community and the type of men who are in it.
Each brotherhood experience is different and in this one I’m joined by the one and only Kasim Aslam.
Father of Sammy And Ronan | Founder of Five 7 & 8 Figure Businesses | Two Successful Exits | Co-Founder: DrivenMastermind.com | Co-Founder: ParetoTalent.com
In this discussion, Kasim shares a powerful lesson learned from another Front Row Dad, and how he was unconsciously raising his children to survive a childhood like his own.
We touch on topics like dealing with anger and temper issues, and I share a story about my son Tiger and how I learned I was treating him as he was and not who he could be.
As usual, we’re bringing you the real stuff – which includes the low points and high points of raising awesome kids, with a very full schedule as passionate businessmen, and men with an entrepreneurial spirit.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Are we raising our kids to survive OUR childhood? The amazing ripple effects of fatherhood The ongoing battle of Dads managing their temper A big reason why kids help us be fully present The most powerful words you can say to your kids A little encouragement and belief goes a LONG wayGet the Full Show Notes

In today's interview, I’m joined by Michael Franti, a father, husband, singer/songwriter and owner of Soulshine Bali.
He has been spreading positivity and love through his music for almost 40 years.
I had the incredible opportunity to sit down backstage in Asheville, NC, while he's on tour, stepping directly into his world, and exploring the highs and lows of his very full touring schedule and what it takes to balance fame and family.
In this episode, we explore Michael's relationship with his fathers, and the impact they had on his life – while exploring Michael’s heartfelt stories about raising kids, making music, dealing with anxiety and depression, and so much more.
You'll also hear from his son Cappy, who joined us towards the end of the interview, who shared stories with reverence and honesty about growing up with Michael as his father.
I could feel the love he has for his father, and also respected how he shared some of the pain we all experience as kids when we feel disconnected from our dads.
As Michael believes, “There’s no one you wouldn’t love if you knew their story”.
This episode is filled with true stories, touching moments and deep insights.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with the one and only Michael Franti and make sure to roll down the windows of your car, turn on his playlist (Michael Franti and Spearhead) and sing your heart out.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Overcoming depression and finding ease of heart How Michael teaches others to find their voice Letting your kids make their own choices When Michael discovered the true source of his anger Michael’s top 3 songs that cover the range of human emotions A father and son collab on musical breathwork & meditation How Michael and Cappy enjoy their time together Some of Cappy’s fondest memories with his Dad Dealing with emotions from being away works both ways The vision for Soulshine Bali Music & Wellness retreatsGet the Full Show Notes

Gentlemen, I’ve got Greg Scheinman here with me today. Greg is a performance coach, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author of The Midlife Male, a guide to helping men feel happier, healthier, and lead rewarding lives in their 40s and 50s.
We kicked things off by digging into some common ground: Waking up at 3 a.m. with that old and eerily familiar friend… anxiety. We talked about what works for us to get better sleep and some potential triggers that seem to cause those restless and sleepless nights.
We also talked about approaching midlife by looking for those sweet spots between hustling and grinding to being at peace and enjoying life. We dig into how much therapy and inner work is too much and how relationships and development are like muscles that also need to rest. We also shared a few stories about our hiking adventures, testing and knowing your limits, when to push and when to relax, and mixed in some 29029 Everesting chat and a lot more. Enjoy!
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through...- Managing the 3am anxiety wake up calls
- Finding the sweet spot between hustling & happiness
- Greg’s routines that have improved his sleep quality
- How all men aren’t wired to show love the same way
- Make the most of the first 17 years with your kids
- How much therapy and inner work is too much?
- It’s okay to be okay. Stop digging for trauma
- Know your limits, especially at the 29029 Everesting
- Going away to recharge and not come re-energized?
- Choices are good, but make a decision and go all-in
- Greg’s 3-year process to creating Midlife Male

Today, I’m joined by Brent Perkins and Eric Farewell, two incredible humans from our community who’ve not only crushed it as entrepreneurs but also made a tremendous impact as parents, husbands, and friends to the Brotherhood.
Brent and Eric walk us through their journey of participating in and leading FRD bands, which has helped them open up about their fears and feelings and transformed their connections with their families and everyone around them.
One of the main areas we focused on was challenging the stereotypical “strong man” image and defining real masculinity for men who are willing to put in the work, be vulnerable, and commit to being better Dads and husbands. Yes, men need to be strong, but true strength is being courageous enough to talk openly when we’re struggling.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
The impact that FRD bands have had on Eric & Brent Exploring a different definition of masculinity How FRD bands help men become less rigid and hardened Two key ingredients for a thriving band of brothers How being in a band holds men accountable & skip the BS What happens when men share their lives openly in a diverse group Joining a band could be the spark to change your lifeGet the Full Show Notes

In today’s Member Takeover episode, I’m passing the baton to a couple of Jasons and badass members of the Brotherhood. Today’s host is none other than Jason Bronstad and joining him is Jason Wachob. Jason Wachob is the co-founder of mindbodygreen, an organization that revolutionizes health and wellness with holistic approaches that go beyond traditional medicine.
In this conversation between two Jasons, they discuss something that is easy to forget as parents: it’s not the flashy gifts or the fancy cars that win our kids’ hearts. What matters most is our presence—being there for their sporting events, plays, or simply hanging out and playing at home.
As a former basketball player, Jason W. opens up about the impact sports had on him and the valuable life lessons, health benefits, and positive impact sports have on our kids’ personal growth, both on and off the field.
Jason W. also shares some killer insights, medical tests, and screens to help us step up our health game, catch any warning signs early, and take control of our mental and physical health. Enjoy!

In the second episode of our Member Takeover Series this summer, we're keeping the momentum going with two more powerhouse members of the Brotherhood, featuring Mike Wagner and hosted by Alex Pardo.
Mike doesn't hold back about his struggles with being genuinely present for his family and how he used work to escape the daily pressures of fatherhood.
A big part of Mike's recovery is his embodiment practice of "feeling whatever is" and being honest about his emotional struggles in front of his kids. He shares why this practice is not just for him but serves as a live demonstration to his children on managing emotions in healthy ways.
You'll also hear why Mike recommends testing a concept he adapted from Tucker Max, the Minimum Viable Separation. By spending some time away from our family when we’re feeling disconnected from our loved ones it allows us to reconnect, resolve conflict and show up in healthier and happier ways.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
The metric for quality time = presence Daily practices to get to a flow state Resources for practicing meditation & presence Leading by example with screen time and technology Improving relationships and anger issues starts within Managing conflict by pausing, then communicating Reconnecting with your family values Mike’s daily routines to be at his best Testing the Minimum Viable Separation ConceptGet the Full Show Notes

In the first episode of our Member Takeover Series this summer, we're kicking things off with two incredible humans and VIP members of the Brotherhood, featuring Michael Chu and hosted by Matt Drinkhahn.
In this conversation, Mike shares some of the childhood wounds that he's worked on since becoming a parent, from overcoming his belief that he "wasn't good enough" despite enjoying tremendous success in creating multiple 7-figure businesses and being a National Champion in martial arts to managing BIG feelings, anger, and frustration with somatic coaching & therapy concepts.
You'll also hear how Mike uses a "Stop, Drop & Roll" technique to manage stress and conflict with his wife and children which has helped him to be a better partner to his spouse and Dad to his kids.
It's easy to forget that when the women we love are upset, they just want to be heard. They aren't asking us big, strong men to fix the problem immediately, a lesson Mike has learned and now manages with his superpower and calming presence. Enjoy!
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Breaking free of the “suck it up” mentality Mike’s rough start on his journey of becoming a Dad Healing childhood wounds with somatic coaching Mike’s “Stop, Drop and Roll” tools for dealing with anger Pass “the test” by getting out of your own head Demonstrate that feeling your feelings is a strength Therapy is ongoing, like muscles, use it or lose it Hold space for their feelings first instead of fixing the problemGet the Full Show Notes

Mike Green is a loving husband, father of two amazing kids and a trusted voice in the FRD Brotherhood. Professionally, he’s an ER physician who has been able to shape and sculpt his life around creating memories with his family, even while working long hours, including 24 and 48-hour shifts at the ER.
In our chat, we went deep on the pitfalls of being a people pleaser and how that can stunt and even derail relationships when we try to be somebody other than our true selves. Mike also shares several smile-inducing memories about his childhood with his Dad, from spending his early years on a houseboat in the Bahamas and the work/life balance mindset he inherited to creating a make-shift aquarium in the bathtub for weeks at a time with live fish and turtles. 🤣
Before we wrapped things up, Mike opened up about what it means to him to be a part of the Brotherhood, to have a safe place to be real and have honest conversations with other men who are all striving to be better Dads and husbands despite having different opinions on many topics. That’s something that definitely resonates with me and probably many of you too. Enjoy!
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Two superpowers Mike got from his Dad Early life living on a houseboat in the Bahamas Being afraid of Dad as a child Work/life balance lessons from Dad Shaping your calendar to sculpt your life The golden nuggets from the Health Summit Becoming Mr. Right vs finding Mrs. Right Balancing boundaries, trust with people pleasing Planning future family experiences How about Father’s Day FRD Meetups?

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Glover. Robert is a therapist, coach, speaker, and author of the groundbreaking book, No More Mr. Nice Guy. This is a must-read for men who struggle with expressing their needs and setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty or shame.
In our conversation, we explored how our childhood traumas set the stage for how we manage emotions and interact in our relationships and how to ditch those "covert contracts" we make with people, assuming they should read our minds and know what we want without us having to say it.
Robert shares practical advice on how to set boundaries in a way that doesn't alienate others and instead draws them in. You'll also hear about the 3 covert contracts that nice guys make with themselves that cause anger and frustration. We also bonded a bit by talking openly about how we handled disagreements in our own marriages, how easily we get triggered, and how to approach these moments with love the next time. Enjoy!
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Early days of No More Mr. Nice Guy The toxic extremes of nice guys and jerks Identifying the two types of “nice guys” The challenge of managing boundaries & shame Three covert contracts that nice guys make The link between our nervous system and triggers Robert’s mindfulness routine for dealing with anxiety How letting go brings us closer to the answers we seek Boundaries are for me, not youGet the Full Show Notes

Fellas, today's episode is near and dear to my heart because I'm here with my very own Front Row Dad, Rick Vroman. Many of you are likely aware of my father's impact in shaping the man I am today, but we're digging a little deeper here and going back to my father's childhood and taking a peek into our own evolution as fathers.
You'll hear what it was like for my father to grow up with a pretty demanding dad and his experiences and importance of hard work and providing for his family. But we'll also get into some fun stuff like fishing trips, where our athletic bloodlines and my entrepreneurial spirit come from, and some family traditions that go way back.
We talked about the bond we share of never feeling pressured to follow in our father's footsteps, why my Dad never tried to nudge me toward a specific career or path in sports, and how the best parts of moving around so much as a child allowed me to explore and reinvent myself.
Finally, we talked about our Family Cornerstones document that my Dad created when I was very young, why he wrote it, and how much that document still means to both of us to this day. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Rick’s childhood with a very demanding father Carving your own path is sports, not your Dad’s Wishing for more heart-to-heart convos Parenting goal: Make the next generation better Embracing responsibility, hard work and persistence The different seasons of fatherhood Being happy by NOT following in your father’s footsteps What if we made different choices as young fathers?

Gentlemen, I am here with real estate mogul Brandon Turner. Brandon is a real estate investor, podcaster, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and founder of Open Door Capital LLC. He's built a world-class real estate empire closing on a billion AUM, he's recognized as one of the foremost experts in real estate and led the BiggerPockets podcast to 100 million downloads—just an all-around legend.
We talked about how he balances his time between business and family and how his faith and religion have shaped him into the amazing Dad he is today. Brandon explained how his success skyrocketed by not letting indecision become the decision, learning how to trust and manage risk, and also how to delegate instead of abdicating. And perhaps surprisingly, could his love of playing Monopoly have revealed the billion-dollar secret to success in real estate at a young age?
You'll hear his thoughts on involving your kids in real estate deals, the importance of scheduling some "no kids connection time" with his wife, and what he's doing with the BetterLife Tribe to donate a billion dollars to fight human trafficking. Brandon also talks about how he's using AI and ChatGPT to create adorable bedtime stories in real time with his kids and how he makes time to play on their level, literally.
Last but not least, I asked Brandon a question that he's never been asked before, and you'll want to hear the incredibly moving story that came from it. This episode is jam-packed with much more, so buckle up and enjoy!

Trust vs Risk and Delegate, Don’t Abdicate Crisscrossing the frozen ice with Dad to McDonalds Don’t do what I do! No yelling allowed! Enjoying some “no kids” time with your spouse A deeper level of faith, spirituality & Christianity Evolving and staying away from politics Connecting by hosting sleepovers for your friends & family Homemade bedtime stories using AI & ChatGPT Playing on your kids level, on the ground floor The billion dollar real estate lesson from Monopoly Why real estate isn’t for everyone Buying real estate with and for your kids Challenge: Describe your kids in a single word Thoughtful gifts of writing notes and letters to your kidsGet the Full Show Notes

We're very fortunate to have so many legends in the FRD Brotherhood, and today's guest, Dr. Kelly Flanagan, is definitely one of them. Kelly is a psychologist, consultant, speaker, and author of several books that profoundly transformed my views on marriage, family, relationships, and friendship.
In our conversation, we talked about how easy it is for couples to get triggered by seemingly minor things. Even after decades of expertise in understanding the human psyche, he still deals with this in his relationship. You'll hear how he's become aware of when his heart is closing and how the key to managing marital conflict is to keep your heart open.
You'll also hear what Dr. Kelly is doing with his Humaning Substack and how you can join 14,000 other subscribers. He's using his platform to share inspiring stories of how we can improve our reaction to stress and crisis by not fighting against the current but instead being present enough to find the updraft as an easier way to reach our destination.
One last thing, if you appreciate this episode, I’m offering to send you a copy of any of Dr. Kelly’s books. Simply leave a review, take a screenshot and send it to us with your address to [email protected] and I will gladly purchase the book and send it to you. (This offer is for US residents only due to international shipping costs).

I'm joined by fellow FRD Brotherhood member Ray Bayat. Ray founded NetCo Investments, Inc. along with Mitch Bayat in 2002. But if there's one thing you should know about Ray, it's his dedication to being an amazing Dad and husband, always striving to improve in every role he plays.
Today's conversation is all about growth. Ray shares his journey growing up in Iran during the revolution, his family's sacrifices (especially his Dad, who was tough-as-nails), and how that experience molded him into a more understanding and evolved parent and loving husband.
Ray believes real growth happens when we're uncomfortable, and he's making sure his children learn that lesson early. Despite being teenagers, his kids have traveled to dozens of countries, exposing themselves to different cultures, ideas, and ways of life.
Ray also talks about how grateful he is for his amazing wife, Katrin. From parenting to business, she always pushes him to be better and has been invaluable in helping him achieve his goals and stay grounded.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Make sure you add value to every interaction Everyone is a work in progress Growing up during the Iran revolution How like-minded men help you grow faster How a Tony Robbins event transformed Ray’s marriage Supporting his son through grief A better way to deal with your kids’ temper tantrums Choose her every day Raising brave adventurers Ray’s message to future FRD membersGet the Full Show Notes

As we countdown to International Mother’s Day, we’re shaking things up a bit because I’m joined by Angie MacDougall and Megan Corey. These two moms are incredible souls and successful businesswomen with families who co-lead the Front Row Moms community.
In our conversation, Angie and Megan share the joy and balancing act of modern motherhood. They dropped some great advice on how Dads can score some bonus points on Mother’s Day. And here’s a hint, fellas: If you ask her what she wants, she’ll probably tell you. 😁
You’ll also hear how Angie and Megan have created a community where like-minded women can share knowledge and experiences, lift each other up, and show up for their kids, husbands, and families. In short, Front Row Moms empowers women to thrive at work and home in the same ways that the FRD Brotherhood does for men. Enjoy!

Today, I’m joined by Dane Johnson, Founder and CEO of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, the most successful Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) consulting firm worldwide, offering no-BS effective strategies for battling chronic illnesses.
Dane’s personal health journey is beyond inspirational. Having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when he was 22 and there were times when Dane couldn’t walk and was hooked up to a feeding tube. Defying the odds, he completely transformed his health using holistic methods instead of relying on conventional heavy-duty antibiotics and medicines.
In our conversation, you’ll hear the routines, supplements, and life hacks he used to become the best version of himself. Dane’s philosophy is actually quite simple: forget about quick fixes. Real change requires a complete overhaul of your daily life. And sometimes that means re-evaluating the company you keep, and having the discipline to watch everything that you put into your body.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…
Facing Crohn’s Colitis in your 20s Consistency over perfection Depression is a feeling that can be changed Removing negative energy from your life Real healing takes time Your family’s balance starts with you Health and happiness first, money second How the food you eat ruins your metabolism The daily blueprint for track results Supplements that really work A proper detox to remove toxins Innovative therapies for boosting your immune systemGet the Full Show Notes
