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.

One more thing…

Has this podcast helped you? If so, please tell us how we're doing. Please take a minute and leave a review. Seriously, they matter. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

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.

Ever wonder what your kids will remember about you when they're grown?

In Part Two of my conversation with Megan and Angie—founders of Front Row Moms—we go deep into the father-daughter relationship, how it shaped them, and what kind of presence they craved most from their dads growing up.

These aren't just reflections—they're insights every father can apply right now, no matter the age of your kids.

Here's what you'll take away from the interview:

❤️ How two women—now mothers themselves—reflect on what their fathers got right (and wrong)

🎯 What grown daughters say they needed most from their dads—and what they still hope for today

🧱 Why structure and boundaries matter more than you think (even when they resist them)

📖 A powerful reminder that it's never too late to rewrite the story with your kids

🌱 The key to supporting your wife's growth—without losing yourself in the process

🔥 The truth about marriage longevity—and what creates real connection after the kids grow up

In this week’s podcast, I sat down with Angie Macdougall and Megan Corey—the founders of Front Row Moms—to talk about the raw, unfiltered journey behind this growing movement. It’s a space for women who refuse to choose between ambition and presence… between building a meaningful life and actually living it.

But this isn’t just their story.

It’s also an invitation—for the husband, father, brother, or friend—who knows a woman like this:

• She’s a mom with big dreams.

• She leads a team, a business, or a mission.

• She’s juggling a lot and somehow still showing up for everyone else.

A woman who:

❤️ Craves being present for what matters most

💡 Longs for real conversations—not just highlight reels

🎯 Is raising kids, building something meaningful, and still searching for space to be herself

Sound like someone you know?

Maybe it’s your wife. Maybe your sister. Maybe your business partner.

👉 Send her this podcast episode. And if she’s nodding her head while listening—invite her to check out FrontRowMoms.com.

They talk about:

• The real struggles high-achieving women face behind closed doors

• What most moms really need—but aren’t asking for

• Why “being seen” is often the biggest gift

• And the upcoming Front Row Moms retreat in Arizona (April 10–13)

It’s not a conference. It’s not a girls’ weekend. It’s an intentional space for reflection, connection, and growth.

Ever felt like your business should be attracting bigger opportunities, stronger partnerships, and higher-paying clients—but you aren't sure how to level up?

The answer might be simpler (and more powerful) than you think: Write the right book.

On this week’s episode, I sit down with Charlie Hoehn, the genius behind bestselling books from Tim Ferriss, Ramit Sethi, Cody Sanchez, and our very own Front Row Dad, Geoff Woods.

Charlie has developed a revolutionary system that allows entrepreneurs (even those who've struggled for years) to finally turn their hard-earned wisdom into a world-class book—in as little as one week.

In this episode, Charlie reveals:

🚀 Why writing your book instantly positions you as THE authority in your niche—and how this attracts clients who gladly pay top dollar.

🎯 The exact system he uses that gets a high-quality manuscript done faster, easier, and better than traditional methods (and without ghostwriters!).

🔥 The secret behind books that generate endless word-of-mouth referrals and naturally grow your business without needing constant marketing.

💡 Why giving your book away for free can unlock bigger opportunities than selling thousands of copies ever could.

🏆 How writing a book cements your legacy, allowing your kids (and even grandkids) to truly know your story, your wisdom, and your impact.

Listening to Charlie made me realize that writing a book isn't just about being an author—it's about becoming the unquestioned leader in your field, magnetically attracting high-value opportunities, and leaving behind a legacy your family will treasure.

If you've ever dreamed of writing your book, there’s never been a better moment—and Charlie makes it easier than you ever imagined possible

They’ve all trusted Charlie Hoehn—the brilliant mind behind some of the most successful books of the past decade.

Charlie is the co-founder of Author Inc., a bestselling author himself, and a man who’s built his career helping world-class entrepreneurs share their stories. But behind the scenes, he’s also a deeply intentional father, husband, and leader.

And in Part 1 of our conversation, we don’t talk business—we go deep into fatherhood, marriage, mental health, and what it really means to win at home and in life. Here’s what you’ll get from this heartfelt and powerful conversation:

📖 The Unexpected Power of Books: How Charlie’s childhood obsession with reading became his superpower—and why books might be your parenting secret weapon in a screen-addicted world.

🧠 Facing Fatherhood Depression: The battle Charlie fought in silence, how he resisted help for years, and the simple act of courage that saved his family.

⚾ Lessons from a Legendary Dad: What Charlie learned from his father’s calm, present, and intentional presence—and how you can apply it to your own fatherhood journey.

🌈 Confidence Through Creation: How bedtime improv stories with his daughter turned into a real children’s book—and how you can create powerful memories and confidence in your kids, too.

🔥 Trial by Fire: Charlie's raw, real story about the financial pressure of being the provider—and how his darkest moments became his biggest breakthroughs.

Most men I know focus on pushing forward, handling responsibilities, and showing up for their families. But what if something hidden was quietly draining your energy, affecting your focus, and even impacting your long-term health?

I know this firsthand because I’ve been through it myself. I spent years trying to figure out why I wasn’t feeling my best, only to discover that heavy metals were accumulating in my body—something conventional medicine completely ignored.

That’s why I’m excited to share this episode with you. Dr. Oubre is a functional medicine doctor who has helped many men in our local community  detox from heavy metals, overcome mold exposure, and take back control of their health. He’s not just a doctor—he’s also a devoted father and husband who knows firsthand how important it is to protect the people we love.

This is not just another health discussion—this episode gives you real, practical steps to assess your own health and take action.

✅ How to Know If Your Environment Is Making You Sick

• Learn how mold exposure and heavy metals may be affecting your energy, brain fog, and long-term health.

• Understand how these toxins linger in the body for years without obvious symptoms.

✅ How to Test for Hidden Toxins in Your Home & Body

• Find out what simple tests can reveal if mold, metals, or chemicals are disrupting your health.

• Learn why most doctors overlook these tests—and what to do instead.

✅ The 6 Root Causes of Chronic Health Issues

• The six major factors that contribute to fatigue, inflammation, and disease.

• Why gut health is the first place to start (and how fixing it can help with everything from brain fog to hormones).

✅ How to Detox Safely & Effectively

• The difference between real detoxification and gimmicks that don’t work.

• The best way to support your body naturally is to remove toxins.

If you’re feeling more tired than usual, struggling with brain fog, or just feel like something is off with your health, this episode could be the wake-up call you need.

Your family depends on you—not just to provide, but to be present, strong, and healthy. If something is interfering with that, you owe it to yourself to find out what it is.
