Have you ever felt like you're working harder than ever, but somehow missing what truly matters?

This week, we’re bringing back one of our most popular episodes of all time—a replay of a powerful master class with Hal Elrod from 2019. As we head into the new year, this conversation is as timely and relevant as ever.

In this episode, Hal shares the radical changes he made after a life-altering health scare to reclaim his time, focus on what truly matters, and design a life of deep connection.

We cover:

• Practical strategies to align your actions with your values.

• The power of rituals like family meetings to foster open communication.

• Why learning to say "no" is the ultimate act of self-love and prioritization.

• The critical role of health and emotional mastery in being present.

• How community and accountability drive transformation.

Why listen now? This master class has inspired countless listeners to rethink how they approach their family life and priorities. It’s the perfect episode to set the tone for a year of alignment, connection, and fulfillment.

My personal takeaway? The idea that fulfillment comes not from doing more, but from doing the right things. Creating intentional rituals and saying no to misaligned commitments were game changers for Hal—and it might just change everything for you, too. 

Here’s to creating your best year ever,

Jon

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.  

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? 

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
