  • Sex Potential, Stem Cell Therapy and Male Optimization with Dr. Amy Killen

    Ok guys, time to get vulnerable for a minute…

    Clearly, as we get older our bodies inevitably change, but I never really thought I'd notice a shift in how I "showed up" in the bedroom, until I did.

    There's a happy ending to this story (Pun intended).

    A few weeks ago, I met Dr. Amy Killen, who's an expert in maximizing male sexual performance.

    PERFECT. TIMING.

    While she openly shared with me all the details about her work, I was on the edge of my seat.

    Some of the ideas were more complicated, but a few seemed like things I could experiment with over the next week.

    She mentioned beet root powder and talked about how it produces nitric oxide, and that I found out, is a good thing. A REALLY good thing.

    Energy. Stamina. Muscles. And yes, a full -- and I'm talking full -- erection.

    And gents… of course that's not everything, but it's a sign. In fact, Dr. Amy said….penises are like canaries in the coal mine, warning us about our overall cardiovascular health.

    After a week of taking this stuff (and no, this podcast isn't sponsored by a supplement company selling you the red juice), I noticed that my energy was different in almost every aspect of my life–not just the bedroom.

    Sex Potential, Stem Cell Therapy and Male Optimization with Dr. Amy Killen

    After my personal success, I knew I needed to have her on the podcast.

    Amy Killen is an anti-aging and regenerative medicine specialist focused on aesthetics and sexual medicine, including sexual optimization, skin regeneration, and hair restoration.

    In today's conversation, we're talking about the signs (both physical AND mental) that you might need someone like Dr. Amy in your life, simple things you can do on a daily basis to mitigate stress levels and improve your sexual performance, and some of the more advanced therapies Amy works with to help men look and perform at their best at any age!

    Dr. Amy Killen Podcast Highlights

    • What does an optimized sex life look like for a man?
    • How does something as simple as antiseptic mouthwash destroy our ability to perform in the bedroom?
    • Why do as many as 75% of erectile dysfunction cases go untreated?
    • What are the benefits of a healthy sex life outside the bedroom?
    • Why does stress kill sex?
    • What makes medication like Viagra or Cialis not work?
    • How many men suffer from low testosterone in their 40s, and what can be done about it?
    • Does having sex lead to more sex?
    • What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and what is it used for?
    • What are stem cells, and why should we care about them?
    • Why don't we talk about our sexual health in a way that's real?
    • How has shockwave therapy changed the game in terms of treating ED?

  • Helping Your Kids Start A Business with Josh Felber

    Ok fellas, raise your hand if your kids have come to you with a business idea 🙋🏼‍♂️

    As an entrepreneur myself, having my kids show interest in starting a business is pretty exciting.

    Of course, I want them to explore whatever makes them happy. But secretly, I love the idea of them running their own thing. Maybe it's because it's something I know I'll be able to connect with them about. Can any of you relate?

    But how involved should we get? What's the right balance between helping them pursue their idea, and letting them make mistakes/figure things out on their own?

    Josh Felber - Helping Your Kids Start A Business

    Today I caught up with serial entrepreneur, Josh Felber, to talk all about it!

    Josh created his first real business at the age of 14 and has owned 15 more in the 30+ years since. Before the age of 25 he had become a millionaire and today he helps "parent-preneurs" achieve success, while living an integrated lifestyle.

    We talk about the different businesses his kids have started, including Gratitude Gear and Paleo Pets, and some really great tips for any parents who have a kid entrepreneur in the family :)

    Brotha James Podcast Highlights

    • Where does religion need improvement?
    • Intentional praying & gratitude
    • Building a family brand
    • Helping your kids start a business
    • Business models best suited for kids.
    • How involved should you be in your kids business?
    • Integrating entrepreneurship into your homeschooling

  • 5 Things I Learned from my Dad, Before I Lost Him with Brotha James

    Today, I'm talking with my close friend Jeremy Reisig, a.k.a. Brotha James.

    He's been a hugely influential member of the Front Row Dads community.

    Why? It's simple: Jeremy has legendary relationships with his family.

    In our conversations over the years, I've been deeply moved by the stories he's shared–especially when he talks about the ways his dad, who recently passed away, showed up for him.

    5 Things I Learned from my Dad, Before I Lost Him

    If you want to connect more deeply with your father (or any father figure in your life), as well as your kids (and who doesn't?), this episode is for you.

    Brotha James not only shares brilliant music, but what made his relationship with his dad so special. You'll learn about their traditions, how his dad treated his mother, and which actions spoke louder than words–up until the very end of his life.

    Brotha James Podcast Highlights

    • The value of looking for fulfillment in every aspect of your life.
    • How seeing other people's pain at a Tony Robbins event helped Brotha James truly appreciate and acknowledge how his father made him feel psychologically safe, loved, and important.
    • How can we show up and be compassionate for people we love as they navigate pain, fear, and uncertainty?
    • How Jeremy's father's kind, respectful, and acceptive approach to dying set the family up to survive it with less pain.
    • What Jeremy's dad, a massive Beatles fan, learned from George Harrison and John Lennon's perspectives on life and death.
    • The many ways we can look at adversity - including death.
    • The value of having rituals with your children.
    • How can we unlock love in the sadness of losing someone?
    • How do we numb our sadness (or other feelings) in both unhealthy and healthy ways?
    • What does a trap of avoidance look like, and how do we accidentally manipulate ourselves?
    • How Jeremy's father pushed him to do better without ever being hypercritical.
    • How can we show up for and support our kids, even when they get really into an activity you don't want to do (or aren't really that interested in)?
    • How Jeremy's mom created incredible opportunities for his dad and made him feel loved.
    • A question you can ask instead of "How was your day at school?"
    • What makes someone a great listener?
    • The times Jeremy was afraid of his dad–and how he reckoned with being disrespectful as a child in his adult life.
    • Why Jeremy is so grateful that his dad taught him how to see the good in others, to listen more than speak, and to be a great partner.
    • The importance of practicing being a good partner on a daily basis.

  • Score Yourself in These 4 Areas (Spouse, Kids, Work, Health) with Dane Espegard

    Fellas, here's an interesting one for you…

    How would your wife rate you on a scale from 1 to 10 in the areas of Work, Health, Kids and Marriage?

    That's one of the big questions during today's conversation with my buddy, Dane Espegard.

    Dane's a member of Front Row Dads, rock star relationship builder, and someone who is continuously improving in all 4 of these buckets.

    I know for me, it's pretty tough to nail all of these areas, all of the time...

    So, I wanted to know, what makes Dane's relationship with his wife and kids so strong - and how does he manage to play at such a high level in his personal and professional life at the same time?

    Dane drops a ton of wisdom on what does/doesn't work for him and his family. We talk about the importance of being attuned with your wife's emotional needs, the benefits of therapy, healthy forms of fighting, and much more!

    Dane Espegard Podcast Highlights

    • Why my dog stands ON the table while we have dinner.
    • The positive and negative sides of COVID.

    • When Dane and his wife fight -- why, and what does his wife need more of in order to feel loved.
    • How would your wife rate you in Work, Health, Kids, and Marriage?
    • What do you and your wife need in order to feel intimately connected to one another?
    • My goal to talk how I would if a therapist was watching.
    • Why do Dane and his wife have such a great relationship?
    • Why my 6 year old son started having nightmares after I had a big fight with Tatyana and what adjustments we had to make in our house.
    • What are clarity breaks?
    • Why community is your greatest survival tool.

  • How to Identify Your Blind Spots as a Husband and Father with Nathanael Chawkin

    Can you think back to a moment when you lost your cool with your wife or kids? What's going on when our emotions get the best of us?

    What if instead of defaulting to anger, judgement, defensiveness and frustration, we could better understand the feelings of everyone involved, and empathize more effectively with others' perspectives?

    Helping me answer these questions is Nathanael Chawkin, who specializes in interpersonal communication dynamics for both executive teams and families alike.

    I first started working with Nathanael one-on-one so that I could better understand my triggers; the things that really set me off.

    He's helped me tackle some of the toughest communication challenges in my life, and has given me the necessary tools and strategies to identify my biggest emotional blind spots as a husband and father.

    His approach to coaching leans on The Work of Byron Katie. If you aren't yet familiar with The Work, it consists of four questions that allow you to look at specific problems and see exactly what is bothering you in a whole new light.

    In today's conversation, we touch on a wide variety of topics, including Nathanael's unique upbringing in what he calls a "human potential experiment," how he masterfully uses self-inquiry in his coaching practice (and with me), and some of the breakthroughs we've achieved in our sessions together. You'll even get to hear us talk through a scenario in real-time, so you can get a taste of what it's really like to work with Nathanael!

    Gold Nuggets

    • The benefits of a multi-spiritual upbringing.
    • How he lived in a karate dojo for 2 years.
    • The importance of owning your problems instead of trying to meditate or transcend them away.
    • Why it's so easy to think people are judgmental when you're the one doing the judging.
    • Ways people misinterpret The Work of Byron Katie.
    • The 80/20 Rule to help you drop in to your own inner wisdom.
    • A framework you can use to better understand what triggers you and transform feelings through inquiry.
    • How to stop being your worst critic.
    • How The Work is used in a real-life inquiry session.
    • How The Work helps create safe places for the people we love.

    Big Questions Asked

    • How can coaching help us get perspective and see all the different arguments around an issue?
    • How can we use The Work of Byron Katie in our everyday lives?
    • What are our basic defense mechanisms–and how can we defuse them when they don't serve us?
    • Why can't we see our own blind spots without help?
    • Where does healing come from, and how do we end patterns of trauma?
    • Why do we have more control when it's us that needs to change, not our spouse or our children?
    • Why is it so easy to stop treating ourselves like someone who is worthy of respect?
    • Why is it so hard for us to ask for what we really want?
    • Why do we need to practice the basics of inquiry when we're not in the moment?
    • Where does transformation really come from?

  • Gifts to Win Your Spouse's Heart All Year Long with John Ruhlin

    For a lot of guys, gift giving oftentimes lacks true meaning.

    How many holidays have you made a last minute purchase the night before, or decided to buy something just because it has an impressive sticker price? As if a more expensive gift will show your wife just how much you love her lol.

    Gifts should make your loved ones feel valued and appreciated, not forgotten and misunderstood. It's something we should do because we want to, not because we have to.

    And hey, I'll be the first to admit, I've definitely screwed it up on multiple occasions — so you're not in this alone!

    Gifts don't need to be bought, but they do need thought.

    Joining me today to talk all about it is my good friend John Ruhlin — a master at building relationships and winning hearts using his unique approach to strategic gifting.

    We hit on a bunch of topics, including intentional gifting, gifting fails, winning at Mother's Day, making your wife feel special, balancing business & family, and more!

    Gold Nuggets

    • 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.

    Big Questions Asked

    • How can we better pick up on hints and clues when it comes to the intangible gifts that our partners want?
    • Why is it so much harder to pick a great gift for our spouse than it is for a business partner or a client?
    • What happens when we bring other people within families into our gift giving, thanks, and gratitude?
    • How can we use the traumas we faced in childhood as we show up for our kids?

  • How to Play Off Your Partner's Parenting Strengths with Brandon Miller

    As entrepreneurs and business owners, we've all taken tests like Myers-Briggs, DISC, and Core Values Index to better understand who we are and where we naturally shine. But so few of us have used tools like these to understand our strengths as parents, even though it's one of the most important roles in our lives!

    Today's guest, my friend Brandon Miller, is the co-author of Incredible Family: Discover Your Parenting Strengths and Raise Your Kids with Confidence. Not only is the book packed with great information, but it also includes a powerful parenting assessment tool to help you and your partner uncover what makes you uniquely great as parents.

    Brandon's really hit on something big with this book, as proven by the fact that he was voted Most Influential by the Front Row Dads Brotherhood after presenting this material at our last retreat.

    Also joining us is fellow Front Row Dad, Les McDaniel, who trains coaches that help parents and their children become stronger, more loving, and more peaceful.

    So what exactly does it mean to build an "incredible family" and how do we make it happen? That's what this discussion is all about. If you want to bring the joy back into your parenting and shift from being frustrated to fascinated, and from conflict to cooperation, this episode is a must-listen!

    PS: Want 2 free copies of Incredible Family? Write an honest review of the podcast, send a screenshot of your review to [email protected], and I'll send you and your spouse a copy in the mail. It's my way of thanking you for your support, and I know it'll make a big difference for you and your family.

    Gold Nuggets

    • What readers can expect from Incredible Family.
    • How understanding our strengths as parents can help us identify patterns and resolve conflicts.
    • How Brandon's entrepreneurial experience informed his methodology as a parent.
    • The value of raising kids who grow up confident (not arrogant).
    • The importance of being more passionate about our families than our businesses.
    • How reaffirming strengths amplifies them.
    • Why inherent negativity bias constantly reaffirms what we're not - and the power of shifting away from this mindset.
    • Why Brandon and Les said yes to Front Row Dads and why they're still in the Brotherhood.

    Big Questions Asked

    • How do we partner with someone to give our children the five things they need?
    • Do many parents have overlapping strengths?
    • How do I make sense of my parenting assessment?
    • Why don't our priorities as parents always align?
    • How can we look for the shine in our kids' eyes to understand what's working and what isn't, in our families
    • Why do so many parents lack confidence?
    • Why aren't men leading the way on unity right now?
    • What happens when we play to our partners strengths and show up as a true leader?
    • Why does everyone need a coach?
    • How can strengths assessments help us solve society's toughest challenges?
    • How do we amplify what's good to silence what's not?
    • Why can it be so hard for us to identify our true strengths?
    • How does gratitude uncover strengths in other people?

    Are you running on the neuroscience of love and connection, or fear and reactivity?

    For many, fear and reactivity are driving your actions more than we realize. In this show, we're going to address how to fix this and lead from a centered and controlled energy.

    Mike Wagner has been on a path to evolve as a father. He's a member of the Front Row Dads Brotherhood, and is going to share his personal experiences taking a deep dive into his own emotions, and how they used to run his life, and how he shifted into the driver seat.

    A bit of context…

    Mike had trained to be a physical therapist, but felt like something was off. He then made a transition into real estate investing, with a focus on self-storage. His successes have allowed him to explore personal development, focus on his family, and explore the country. In short, he lives what he calls a life of awesomeness.

    He also recently worked extensively with Dr. Danny Friedland to better understand how top performers use mindfulness combined with neuroscience to turn their feelings of stress, burnout, and unhappiness into incredible leadership.

    In this show, we have an honest conversation about learning to love ourselves, working through the rough patches, and what we can do to ensure we're living in alignment with our deepest values.

    PS: In honor of Dr. Danny's life and his work, we're going to be giving away several copies of his book, Leading Well Within. To claim yours, simply leave me an honest review of the Front Row Dads podcast, mention either Mike Wagner or Dr. Danny, and take a screenshot. Send it to [email protected], and I'll personally send you a copy!
