What if community is currency and you can never truly be broke? In this episode, Eric Farewell shares how he helps founders grow their businesses while staying grounded in purpose, presence, and resilience. Eric is an entrepreneur, author, and somatic business coach who has built industry-shaping brands like Aviator Paramotor and National STOL. He's a devoted husband and father of three whose journey through loss, injury, and burnout led him to redefine what success truly means. Eric retired at 35 (four years ago) after 26 years of building businesses since age 13. In his book Farewell to Normal and through his coaching with the Royals Mastermind, Eric helps founders cut their efforts by at least 50% while doubling revenue. His work week is usually about 90 minutes, allowing him to be deeply present with his family and use the wisdom of his experience instead of the abilities of his brain. Eric moved halfway across the country to be closer to his community in Texas, specifically the Front Row Dads mastermind. He's on the board of Rising Man, which specializes in Native American style rites of passage for men and boys. Eric reveals the relationships that transformed him: his wife, who for 16 years of marriage has reminded him he's a good man and makes good decisions, keeping him from the brink more times than he can count when their marriage was in crisis before they found therapy and somatic work; his first mentor Alex Ozzi, whom he met at an internet marketing conference at age 13 and followed puppy dog style, moving to California and living in his garage from ages 13 to 21, learning that having a mentor who's where you want to go is absolutely imperative; and his Front Row Dads community in Texas (especially Jason Bro who challenges him more than anyone and gives him more love from another man than he's ever received), teaching him that community is currency and you need mentors, coaches you pay way too much for, and community that builds you up and holds you accountable when you fail.   [00:03:40] Retired at 35 Retired four years ago at age 35, been building businesses since age 13 This is not first retirement but this one actually took For him, addiction to producing was tied directly to childhood abuse and trauma Four years ago realized he didn't need to be the best worker to matter anymore [00:04:20] Serving Entrepreneurs Who Want More Stepped down as CEO, moved halfway across country from companies two years ago Work week is usually about 90 minutes, using wisdom of experience instead of abilities of brain Serves entrepreneurs and founders who are waking up spiritually Goal: Cut efforts by 50%, increase revenue by double (some reduce hours 70-80%) [00:05:40] Legacy Is Relationships Most proud of clients reducing hours 70-80% while increasing revenue Legacy is not money in bank account, it's relationships with people and family Marriage was in crisis (relationship is over, how do we cut things apart) Found therapy and somatic work, now have best relationship he can imagine [00:07:00] The Hardest Year but the Happiest Hardest year in at least last nine years (financially, emotionally, death in family) Got dozed in February, tariffed in April, had to lay off half of team Production truck and trailer flipped in Montana, caught fire, burned to ground Because of the work he's done, genuinely the happiest he's ever been [00:08:20] Started Selling Airplanes on the Internet Started in 1999 selling airplanes on this new thing called the internet ADHD kids not designed to build airplanes, so sold them instead Turned into hundreds of airplanes sold over next five years Became internet marketing career, retired from that at 23 [00:09:00] Flying as First Form of Therapy Flying was first taste of perspective shift (like Burning Man or therapy for others) Astronauts call it the overlook effect Built para motor flight school, manufacturing business, media company, aircraft racing series Many clients will never go to therapy, but flying is great tool for them [00:09:40] Losing His Brother Changed Everything Seven years ago lost his brother at age 22 (had three-month-old son) Brother was first employee at Aviator Huge wake up call about what really mattered Had been chasing constantly moving goalposts (million, 5 million, 10 million, 25 million) [00:10:20] Logo Tattooed on Bodies Worldwide Logo tattooed on ton of bodies all over the world Clients call it a family, vociferous fans, massive fans Racing series has one part-time employee and 1600 volunteers For-profit business with volunteers who believe in mission and love community [00:10:40] Why Do I Work a Hundred Hours a Week?

So many people fear going broke, not having enough, that they will fail. The problem is we have this fear based on this tangible idea. The universe is finite. And it's not. The universe is infinite. When you have community, you can't ever truly be broke." - Eric Farewell (quoting Preston Smiles and Garin Jones) "You're not asking for help. The biggest bridges in the world are suspension bridges. They need support from others, and each of us are in different places in our lives and can offer different levels of support." - Garin Jones (shared by Eric Farewell) "If you are not allowing others to pour into you the way you pour into them, it's a one-sided relationship. There is no reciprocity, and that's the deepest part of a relationship." - Eric Farewell CONNECT WITH ERIC FAREWELL

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 life Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Man, this turned out to be such a wonderful conversation with Eric Farewell. I first listened to Eric in person at a conference called CapCon just a little over a month ago. After hearing him speak, I knew he would be a fantastic guest on the show. Man, was I right. Eric is an amazing person who has been through quite a bit but has emerged from it all a better individual. He has taken all the hits from life and turned them into valuable learning experiences that have shaped him into who he is today. I absolutely loved how he describes life as a journey. We are all on the same journey, though we travel different trails and experience various good times. It is a journey without a destination, and all we have is the journey itself. Let's make the best out of every day. Eric has had to overcome terrible physical pain, which he continues to suffer from to this day, as well as the emotional pain that accompanies it. He talks about all that and more in this episode. Don't miss it, and share it far and wide. Thanks, Eric, for coming on the show!

Eric Farewell is a lifelong entrepreneur who started working at 7, his first successful business at 13. He has been blessed by big name mentors since his teens and spent years speaking at internet marketing conferences and consulting for businesses and brands in industries as varying as gaming, and wellness. In 2011 he launched a business in an impossibly small niche. Using a very specific blueprint they became the 500lb gorilla of the industry bringing in millions each year while building systems, and hiring the right people that have allowed it to continue to grow while he now works less than three hours a week. Eric has spent the last 20 years in constant physical pain after breaking his back (twice) and emotional pain after losing his brother and countless friends but refuses to be a victim and chooses to focus his energy on his wife of 14 years and their three children. In his spare time he helps brands through periods of rapid growth in exchange for equity and has recently acquired an aircraft racing series. The Farewell family has a weekly YouTube & TV series that has driven the majority of their businesses marketing strategy for over a decade. His true passion is in doing good for others and making the world a better place.  Want to learn more about Front Row Dads? We are in the business of building better families.
