Have you ever thought about writing a book?  I believe every dad should at least consider putting their knowledge, stories, and strategies on paper.  YOU have wisdom, and yes…you should model that for your family and business, AND consider the impact you'd have if you put all this on paper, in an organized way, that could live on forever.  In 2017, I self-published The Front Row Factor for several reasons. First,  I wanted to document some of the most important life lessons for my kids. For my business, I wanted to scale impact.  For our charity Front Row Foundation, I wanted to help more people.  In the FRD community, we have guys like Hal Elrod, Author of The Miracle Morning, Justin Donald Author of The Lifestyle Investor, Ned Schaut Author of The Adventure of Fatherhood – and we have dozens of other examples. I'm blown away by some of our members who've written books that are changing the world while creating a legacy for their kids.  My interview today is with Chandler Bolt. He is the founder and CEO of Self-Publishing School, which has helped over 7000 authors write and publish their books. He was named to Forbes' 30 under 30 list, and Self-Publishing School got into the INC 5000 four years in a row. We discuss why you should start writing a book and why you don't need to be a great writer to be a published author. One last thing. If you go to Publishedbook.com/FrontRowDads, you can get a FREE printed copy of Published, Chandler's latest book. (Printed copy for US residents only, digital copies are available for non-US residents) Chandler Bolt Podcast Highlights Why you should encourage your kids to experiment and figure out life on their own. Why Chandler and his brother chose to write a book as a legacy for their parents. What we can learn from our failures and what others can learn by sharing those lessons. How do you keep your kids grounded when you're super successful? Whatever you do in life, give it your all. Why books are an incredible legacy for our children. Chandler explains how you can write a book by simply devoting 30 minutes a day. Your kids are always watching you so lead by example. Your confidence and self-worth shouldn't be tied to how your business is doing.

And I'm aware of them. That's why they are blind spots... It's recognizing that actually, you might not even know what you don't know right now. But if you have faith in community, if you have faith that by putting yourselves around other people that have honorable intentions, like we say be a family man with a business, not a businessman with a family, that is a filter for what type of person we're looking to surround ourselves with." - Jon Vroman   The Strongest Foundation for Growth "I reframed what rock bottom is in my world, and rock bottom is also a foundation. Rock bottom is the strongest foundation for growth." - Jon Vroman   Playing With The Feminine And Masculine Energies "The realization for me lately has been range. It has been expanding my range of possibilities, truly tapping into this. Openness, the feminine energy, this receiving energy… just letting the world give to you, fully receiving, curiosity… I also thrive in the masculine, what I would call this driving energy where I want to be in my car going somewhere, focused, with a direction, achieving… And how fast can I move back and forth between those energies? How can I accept those energies and play with them?" - Jon Vroman   Links From Today's Show  Front Row Dads The Front Row Factor by Jon Vroman Front Row Foundation 021 Master Your Mindset: Life In The Front Row With Jon Vroman Dumbing down Dad: How media present husbands, fathers as useless Kelly Flanagan Tony Robbins Paul Chek | All is God Cutko Knives 194 Rob Dial: Peace, Purpose, & Psychedelics John Rullan Tatyana Vroman 369 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Front Row Retreat David Packard - HP The Tetris Effect: The Game that Hypnotized the World by Dan Ackerman Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath Matt Sharp - KidStrong 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity Rewire Retreat 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage 438 Justin Donald | Why Wellness Is A Pentagon: The Art of Financial Intelligence & Lifestyle Investing 009 How To Live An Extraordinary Life With Hal Elrod Loveable, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell by Kelly Flanagan Power vs. Force by David R.

People with mission-driven businesses infused with empathy, service and purpose,  don’t just run companies, they lead a tribe. In this kind of operation, exponential and explosive growth happens when everything is aligned. From the mental and spiritual state of the leader, to the type of messaging that flows from the organization and the impact the business has on the customer, every aspect of the operation is in harmony.   Everything flows beautifully and we reach that sweet spot where purpose and profit fit together seamlessly and effortlessly. This is what we need to help our planet and to light up every soul in this world.    How do leaders align ourselves to the mission? Why is family such a crucial part of changing our planet for the better? What is the difference between linear scale and global scale? In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, speaker, author, podcast host and the founder of Front Row Dads and FrontRowFoundation.org, Jon Vroman. We discuss his entrepreneurial journey and what our planet needs right now.  3 Things We Learned From This Episode   - The importance of redefining success  In our culture, success is often centered on us having the spotlight, but it’s important for us to learn that showing up for others is success too. Lifting someone else up and helping them find their spotlight is a mission that’s as important and worth pursuing.    - Why we’re always homeschooling our kids  We’re always leading our kids, we’re either examples or warnings. Teaching our kids to crush it as work isn’t going to be enough to save our planet, we need to also teach them to be present, to love, serve, give and focus on what matters.    - How to lead our tribes effectively  We need to be in tune with what our tribe wants, and be intuitive enough to discover their as yet unknown needs. To connect to both these streams, we need time to have conversations, but we also need to listen, meditate and tap into the Universe’s purpose.   Guest Bio    Jon Vroman is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, podcast host and the founder of Front Row Dads, a company for high-performing entrepreneurial men who believe in being family men with business, not businessmen with families.   As the author of #1 bestselling author of The Front Row Factor, he shares inspiring stories, compelling science, and life strategies that challenge you to explore your values, establish priorities and reconnect to a higher purpose and deeper meaning within your life.   He is also the founder of FrontRowFoundation.org, a charity that helps individuals who are braving life-threatening illnesses, to experience the event of their dreams, from the front row.    Jon has been featured on Today Show and Inc.com for his work in helping others “Live Life In The Front Row™”.

Mitch, this is fun, man. I was looking forward to this all week, and I just came off a pretty stellar three days, and this is going to be a great time. I appreciate who you are. I love it. I mentioned the Front Row Foundation. Tell people a little bit why the Front Row is so important, this concept, why do you live and breathe to get people into the Front Row? What I love about your question is you asked why. We can tell people what we do, and they'll get it in 20 seconds. And I learned from my buddy Clay Iberra that when people ask me what I do, I often say I help people live life in the Front Row. And they say that's cool, what does that mean? Exactly, tell me more. Well, I'll tell you a story. It's the story of Sophie. I got introduced to Sophie about a decade ago, and this is very early on in our work with the charity. Sophie was battling a life-threatening condition, she had a brain tumor, and she was in the midst of heavy treatments. In and out of the hospital, daily, weekly, fighting migraines, multiple surgeries. She's fighting for her life. Our charity goes to work to try to help her see her favorite performer who in this case is Kelly Clarkson, from the front row. So we start working with the family, and we put together an incredible day. We pick her up at the house in a limousine, little Sophie's wearing a purple dress, we pour her sparkling cider, we treat her like a princess. She is just having an awesome time leading up to this event. She knows that she will eventually see Kelly Clarkson live that night. And by the way, I should mention she is a true fan. The way her mom describes it when she gets in the car with Sophie if she didn't turn on Kelly Clarkson, her daughter would just cry. When the Clarkson comes on, Sophie's smile always gets big. Every night before they went to bed, they had a dance party on the bed and danced to Kelly Clarkson. So on this night, she went to dinner at the Rainforest Café, and then off to the show. They had an incredible concert with Kelly, and the surprise came at the end when Sophie has fallen asleep, this is pretty late night for her, especially based on all the treatments that she was going through. But we snuck her backstage, and we were waiting in a room for a private meet and greet with Kelly. When Kelly walked into the room saying, "Hey, everybody," little Sophie awoke from this nap, looked up and got this beautiful smile, and Kelly and Sophie locked eyes. We have a picture of that moment. I will tell you, that picture is so important for us, and that's why we do what we do. Because eight weeks after that event, Sophie took her final breaths,

When was the last time someone asked you how your heart is today? Have you ever been asked that question? This was one of several intriguing topics I discussed with today’s guest, Brett Culp. Brett is an acclaimed filmmaker and keynote speaker who spent many years as a wedding and personal cinematographer for Hollywood celebrities, royalty, and other high-profile figures. Today, Brett creates his own form of art through documentaries, including Look to the Sky. This is an amazing film that has not only inspired my family, but others in the Front Row Community, including Hal Elrod.

“Our whole lives are made up of moments… How we approach the here and now ultimately writes the stories of our lives.” Ever felt as though you’re missing out on life as it happens? It’s a common concern. When you’re juggling a ton of responsibilities (and a to-do list that never ends) your head and body aren’t in the same place! And when you’re chasing the future and rushing over the here and now, you end up missing out on a lot. It’s why I was so excited to chat with Jon in this episode. Jon is on a mission to show people how to live life in the front row - and his tool of choice is moment making. It’s a mindset I totally buy into. I used to focus on the grind. I used to constantly chase the next promotion or the next big goal because I believed that’s what would make me feel successful. But I soon discovered this mindset puts you in a game you’ll never win. That’s because life isn’t a journey. Instead, it’s a series of here and now moments. And my guest today reveals how to grasp that profound insight and use it to create the life you want. “Personal growth isn’t always about learning something new, it’s often about remembering something true.” Jon Vroman is an award-winning speaker who’s given more than 750 keynote presentations for many companies, organizations, universities, and associations. He’s also the #1 bestselling author of The Front Row Factor. Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making. Jon is a real authority on this important approach to living so I was grateful to find out more about his ‘rituals, routines, and rhythms’. We cover a lot of ground in this episode. From the lessons you can learn from people battling life-threatening illnesses to tangible strategies that put you in the front row, this conversation gets profound. So tune in now and learn how you can master the art of moment making in episode #29. “I have learned so much about living lifefrom people who are fighting for it.” Some questions I ask:How do you define ‘moment making’. (1:14)How has your awareness of the power of moments allowed you to create more moments that matter? (3:52)When joining up the dots, how do you process a backstory of extraordinary pain and shift your mindset to look for growth and meaning. (6:44)How has your dedication to moment making led to career success? (12:14)What first step would you recommend to someone who knows they’re not a ‘front row friend’? (16:55)What do you do on a daily basis to get centered and remind yourself what’s really important in life? (19:20)How does scheduling time for you FIRST allow you to do more? (24:09)Where did you learn about the pendulum analogy? (32:00)How has teaching your message about moment making made you a better recipient of that message? (35:33)How do you stay grounded on a daily basis? (38:51) In this episode, you will hear about: What it means to ‘live life in the front row’. (2:48)The question to ask yourself to become a ‘moment maker’ - for yourself and others. (3:25)The experience that sparked the creation of the Front Row Foundation.Your mess becomes your message: Why humans are ‘meaning makers’ and how this influences our lives. (8:15)Jon’s story - and the meaning he applied to his childhood. (9:07)What Jon learned from Nicky - a stage 4 breast cancer sufferer. (9:37)Why it matters who’s in your front row - and how this awareness can change your life. (15:10)Why you need systems to live in the front row and the impact being your own ‘marketing manager’ has. (19:55)The proximity principle, the law of familiarity, and why Jon keeps a gym bag in his car. (22:15)Why Jon color codes his calendar and how this ensures his life doesn’t get eaten up. (24:56)The great equalizer and how this inspires Jon. (26:00)Why you should visualize the future and reflect on your past - and how this is different from ‘living’ in the future.

Welcome to THIS, our first “success story” episode! Join me as I interview Jon Vroman, a gentleman I can confidently say is showing success in many areas of his life—financial, family, business, relationships and more. About Jon Vroman: Jon Vroman is an author, speaker, and an all-around incredible human being. He grew up in a military family and moved around a bunch, where he honed the skill of adapting and making friends. He was super short in high school, which made him feel insignificant. That pain is what has led him to where he is today—helping someone feel significant—that their life and all their moments matter. Jon helps people live their lives in the front row! Jon’s Top 5 StrengthsFinder Themes: 1. Learner 2. Positivity 3. Woo 4. Input 5. Activator Key Takeaways  Just show up. Showing up for others—doing the best you can with what you have—is where you’ll truly find success.  Ask yourself what you really like to do. Look at your strengths and how you deploy them. This will lead you down the path that is right for you.  When you know your fears and your loves, you know what is pushing you and pulling you.  Sometimes figuring out what ISN’T working will point you toward your superpowers.  You must be open to hearing input from others. And sometimes you must really ask for it.  It’s okay to provide yourself space to be still. Consciously choosing not to do something is doing something!  Identify and even celebrate your failures. It is from your failures that you pull your most valuable lessons. Listen in Now!

If you ask Gary Keller what inspired him to write The ONE Thing, he will tell you that it's about living a life of no regret. How can we make the most out of our limited time here on Earth, and live a life that is extraordinary?   We believe that living a life without regret really comes down to making moments that matter.   Today's guest, Jon Vroman, was inspired by this idea. He founded the Front Row Foundation and wrote the #1 bestselling book The Front Row Factor, and he has dedicated the rest of his life to helping others, especially people who are fighting for their lives, create moments that matter.   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Many of us tell ourselves the story that we can't do something because we imagine the person we were yesterday and not the person we are today – or who we will be tomorrow.   We believe that you can achieve far more than you believe is possible if you are willing to help raise other people up.   So out of everything that you heard in this episode, what is the ONE thing you can do that will allow you to help others create moments that matter?   In this episode you will learn... [7:00] How you can start experiencing moments that matter every single day. [14:50] The difference between wishful thinking and hope (and why hope is so powerful). [21:40] How you can make moments that matter for yourself – and others.   Links & Tools From This Episode Learn more about the Front Row Foundation Read: The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making Listen: The Front Row Factor podcast --   Production & Development for The ONE Thing Podcast by Podcast Masters

''You never know until you do it.'' - Tim Conners What preconceived notions and limiting beliefs are holding you back from dreaming big and living life fully? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and did something courageous? In this powerful conversation, my friend Tim Conners, will challenge you to see life from a whole new perspective! At the young age of 15 Tim’s life was thrown upside-down after receiving a diagnosis of t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For about three months Tim would find himself in remission from the cancer, but before he had time to catch his breath it was back. Not only was it back, but this time it was attacking his optic nerves in his eyes. In approximately 48 hours Tim would lose his sight, but the real concern was how to keep him alive. Tim would go on to receive a bone marrow transplant. What was supposed to save his life almost took him in the process. He experienced heart, lung, and kidney failure. Against all odds including doctors who prepared his family for their last goodbyes, he would make it. Tim has chosen to use this life changing experience to gain a positive perspective and says it has "opened up his eyes to everything that was in front of him”.  Although he still faces complications today, he continues to persevere through them, and work toward his mission of living life fully, making a difference, and redefining possible. Tim is attending his senior year at Ithaca College, studying "Communications Studies" in New York and has already taken a path as a motivational speaker, a blind adventurer, and released his first book It’s Impossible Until You Do It. He believes people can move mountains if they move them together, and on May 22nd he is embarking on his latest endeavor called “MounTimPossible” to climb the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. His goal is to raise money for the organizations that not only saved his life, but gave him the strength to start living again so they can provide the same services to other children like him as well. I got the pleasure of meeting Tim a few years ago, while giving a speech at Ithaca College. His story and outlook on life completely inspired me and I’ve been fortunate to call him my friend ever since. Today, Tim is here to share his story with the Front Row Factor community. His sense of adventure, desire to live big, and his profound ability to see the world, despite being blind, is truly inspiring.

''There’s something that you can only learn about yourself when you’re out there by yourself.'' - Angie Macdougall It’s easy to sit back and watch from afar. But the experience is different when you choose to live life in the front row. How are you participating in your own life? Who are you surrounding yourself with? How do they push you beyond what you thought was possible? On today’s episode of the Front Row Factor, I interview my longtime friend and one of the best examples of someone who is living life in the front row, Angie Macdougall. Since 1994, Angie started selling CUTCO® while she was a student at the University of Calgary. After graduation, Angie moved to Victoria, B.C. to open up a District Office. As Vector Marketing Canada grew, Angie was promoted to Division Manager and relocated to Calgary, Alberta. Angie achieved distinction in that role and was promoted to Western Canada Area as Manager in 2014. In 2016, Angie was named National Sales Manager of Canada. Angie is a remarkable human that I look up to and admire. We’ve worked together, we’ve traveled together and she is a powerful moment maker! Angie is also an Ironman triathlete, President of Front Row Canada, has been happily married for 15 years, is a Mother to 2 amazing kids and resides in beautiful BC, Canada. During today’s conversation, Angie shares her story, including how training for endurance sports has challenged her to push herself well beyond what she ever imagined was possible. We also talk about the spillover effects this has had on her career and how it’s impacted the lives of people around her. This interview has so much great information. Angie will inspire you to push beyond your own limits, overcome your biggest fears, and choose how you show up for yourself and for others! Here’s a quick breakdown of our chat… [11:40] Angie takes us back and gives us a peek into her childhood and what it was like growing up in a small town. [12:50] Find out how endurance sports changed what she thought was possible AND what it taught her about overcoming fear, testing her limits and strengthening her mindset. [19:30] When things get hard, that’s ok! [21:45] Jon shares a fun story that demonstrates the anticipation principle and the power of hope.

''Tomorrow is guaranteed to nobody'' - Jon Vroman When you get to the end of your life, will you look back and ask: Did I live life to the fullest? Did my life matter? Did I use my gifts and talents to make a difference? If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, then you definitely won’t want to miss this interview! In today’s episode of the Front Row Factor podcast, we’re doing something a little different. A few weeks ago I was interviewed by my good friend Jon Berghoff on Hal Elrod’s Achieve Your Goals podcast about the launch of my new book. There was a ton of positive feedback and JB pulled so much valuable information out of this conversation, that I wanted to release it to the Front Row Factor community. For those who don’t already know, my new book Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with the Art of Moment Making has been in the making for many years and it’s finally about to launch. The book is a collection of inspiring stories, compelling science, and life strategies that will challenge you to explore your values, establish priorities and reconnect to a higher purpose and deeper meaning within your life. In our conversation, you’ll hear all about the collaborative process that went into publishing the book AND why I’m terrified to finally release it to the world! We talk about the power of proximity, what the past and future can teach us about living in the present, how your physical environment impacts your success, and some incredibly powerful stories from Front Row Foundation recipients who have had to fight for their life. You’ll also hear what it means to create a Front Row moment and how to make more of them so you can transform your own life!

''There's nothing you're going to do today to earn or deserve tomorrow.'' - Jon Vroman  This week on The Elite Advisor Blueprint, I get the chance to talk with Jon Vroman. Jon is an American award-winning motivational speaker, author, philanthropist, podcaster, personal coach, ultra-marathon runner, founder of the Front Row Foundation and most importantly, husband and father. I got to know Jon personally at a dad’s retreat last year that he ran with his good friend Jon Berghoff who we had on in episode 16 of the podcast. Jon has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I’ve ever met and has a truly inspiring story. After an incredible start to his career in the sales industry where he climbed the corporate ladder very quickly, he made the decision to literally step into his boss’s office and quit so he could start a charity. This led to him co-founding the Front Row Foundation which helps create “Front Row” type experiences for those suffering from life threatening illnesses. This has included past recipients literally sitting front and center and often meeting their favorite athletes or entertainers. Performers like Justin Bieber, Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffett, Carrie Underwood, Bon Jovi, & Alan Jackson. Along with professional athletes like Steve Nash, Johnny Damon, and Derek Jeter. Jon shared some incredibly powerful stories during our conversation on how they’ve been able to impact others that are battling for their life, but also how these experiences have impacted his life in return. Be ready for some emotional moments as Jon had me on the verge of tears multiple times with the stories he shared.
