You lead with intention in business, in life, and—most importantly—at home.

But let’s be honest: Mother’s Day can sneak up on you. You want to honor your wife well, but you’re not always sure how to do it in a way that actually lands.

That’s why we pulled together something different this year—a short video from a few Front Row Dads who opened up about what they’ve learned from celebrating their wives on Mother’s Day.

These aren’t “tips.” They’re real stories. Real lessons. Real wisdom.

👉 3 men. 🎥 6 short, powerful clips. 🎶 Set to music. ⚡ Built to inspire.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• 🛑 The biggest mistake husbands make on Mother’s Day—and how to avoid it

• 👀 Why making her feel seen matters more than any surprise gift

• 💬 A 10-year journal tradition that’s become a family legacy

• 🧠 How understanding her love language shifted everything

• 🧒 Why including the kids isn’t optional—it’s the whole point

This video will remind you of something you already know deep down: How you show up for her shapes the home your kids grow up in.

You’ve got what it takes. This might help you say it better—and show it louder.

When your business feels like it’s crumbling, what do you do?

Some men cling harder. Some walk away. But the rare few — they evolve.

Today’s guest, Ryland Engelhart, is one of those rare few.

He helped build Café Gratitude into a beloved brand, co-founded the global movement Kiss the Ground, produced award-winning films about regeneration, and is now helping create Sovereignty Ranch—a living, breathing example of legacy in action.

But none of that happened without walking away from what no longer served him. And that's exactly what today’s conversation is about.

If you’re standing at a crossroads in business, family, or purpose, this conversation will show you how to lead through it.

In this episode, you’ll discover: 🔑 How to exit with clarity—and leave behind what no longer serves you 🧱 How to rebuild with vision, not ego 🔄 How to lead through change—at home, in business, and beyond 🧭 How to turn disruption into direction—aligning your work with your deepest mission 🌳 How to create a legacy rooted in values, not just revenue

Ryland’s story isn’t just about closing restaurants or moving to a farm. It’s about letting go with courage, leading with integrity, and building something that truly lasts.

If you’re building something meaningful— If you're leading through uncertainty— If you're ready to define your legacy—

The mission might change. The calling remains.

Ever wonder what kind of leader you’d be when everything hits the fan?

Not when things are smooth. But when your product fails. The internet comes for your company. And you’ve got 48 hours to decide who you really are.

That’s exactly what happened to Jason Bronstad, CEO of MALK Organics—and what he did in that moment didn’t just save the business…

It defined it.

In this raw, honest, and wildly insightful episode, Jon sits down with Jason to unpack how a mission-driven company scaled from $12M to $100M, without losing its soul.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

🔥 The Crisis That Clarified Everything How a vanilla-flavored PR nightmare became the brand’s North Star.

🏆 Culture > Everything The hiring mindset that filters for heart, not just skill—and why the wrong person can wreck your company’s soul.

📈 Scaling With Purpose What it takes to grow from 1,200 to 10,000+ stores without compromising on values.

💬 The 1-on-1 Ritual That Builds Trust Jason’s 3-question check-in that surfaces tension, celebrates wins, and creates deep connection across his team.

🥣 Real Impact, Not Just Revenue The story of a mom, her two boys, and the one milk that made breakfast meaningful again.

If you’re building something—whether it’s a business or a family—this conversation will challenge you to ask:

Are you growing fast… or growing true?

You ever feel like you’re crushing the deadlines, hitting the goals—but when it’s time to be fully present with your kids or your partner, you’re running on fumes?

Jason Bronstad  knows that feeling well.

In Part 2 of our conversation, he opens up about the version of himself that chased titles, numbed out with alcohol, and put presence on the backburner.

But that’s not who he is anymore.

Here’s what changed:

⚖️ He dropped 70 pounds 🥃 He stopped drinking 🧠 He stopped doubting himself ❤️ And he started showing up with his whole heart

This is a conversation for any man who’s done with the excuses and ready to become the father, husband, and human he was always meant to be.

You’ll hear:

🔥 A powerful moment when Jason’s 8-year-old son asked, “How do you feel when people tell you no?” ❤️ The email his daughter sent while he was away—and why it brought him to tears 💭 Why presence isn't just about being there—but being available 🏔️ The adventure that pushed him to his limits—and why every man needs a yearly journey into the wild 💡 What he learned from buying out a restaurant in Spain just to show his daughter the joy of giving 🛑 And the moment he said, “I’m done with self-doubt—once and for all.”

If you're building your business to serve your life—not overtake it—this one will hit home.

And if you're working to raise kids who don’t have to recover from their childhood the way you did... this one is a must.

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.

Ever feel like you have to choose between scaling your business and showing up fully at home?

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to pick one.

In this week’s episode, we go inside the mind of a CEO who’s leading both with soul and strategy.

Jason Bronstad didn’t just turn MALK Organics into a national brand. He built a culture where people don’t burn out—they buy homes. He leads his team the same way he leads at home: with clarity, conviction, and zero compromise.

In this conversation, Jason shares exactly how he builds trust, makes tough calls, and protects what matters most—without losing himself in the hustle.

🔑 What You’ll Learn: 

1. The leadership crisis that nearly broke the brand—and how Jason turned backlash into momentum
2. The surprising team question that transforms friction into trust
3. How he hires for soul, not just skill—and what it’s done for company culture
4. The personal rituals (like Jiu Jitsu and cold plunges) that keep him grounded
5. Why momentum > hustle—and how to measure what really matters

If you're building something that demands the best of you—at home and at work—this episode will sharpen how you hire, how you lead, and how you live.
