Guest Introduction: Jon Vroman is a keynote speaker, coach, and the co-founder of Front Row Foundation. He is the host of the Front Row Factor Podcast, and the #1 bestselling author of “The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making.” Today, he is going to teach us how we can create moments that will deeply connect us to the people we care about most: moments that we, and the people we love, will remember forever. Interview Summary: In this interview, Jon begins by describing what moment making is, and shares a touching story from the Front Row Foundation. He explains why moment making is important, and gives some examples of how we can create meaningful moments in our lives. He talks about consciously creating the future, experiencing the present, and celebrating the past. Jon also emphasizes the importance of how we communicate with others. He explains how the ratio of positive to negative comments is strongly correlated with the health of our relationships, both in business and in our personal lives. Jon then provides a number of examples of moment making in the business world. He talks about going the extra mile and giving personalized thank you notes to customers, as well as the importance of pictures and gift giving. Jon goes on to discuss how to gain clarity on our values and priorities. He recommends periodic journaling and self-inquiry to evaluate and reevaluate our values. Jon also emphasizes the importance of living a life of service and giving. He talks about how to figure out what people want and commit to helping them reach their dreams and goals. Chris discusses the idea that we nurture certain values out of people. He also talks about how people want to be seen for who they are. Jon then explains how we can honor who people are at their core, while also amplifying certain values or recognizing when they're selling themselves short. He gives two examples, one about himself, and one about his son and his parenting, to illustrate this point. Finally, Jon discusses why we need to be mindful of how we show up for people. As a last insight, he encourages us to get out there and recognize the power we have to make moments.  Find out more about Jon: https://frontrowfactor.com The Craft of Charisma Podcast is also available at: bit.ly/Soundcloud-CofC-Podcast bit.ly/Stitcher-CofC-Podcast bit.ly/iTunes-CofC-Podcast bit.ly/Spotify-CofC-Podcast bit.ly/GooglePlayMusic-CofC-Podcast bit.ly/iHeartRadio-CofC-Podcast

The Pirate Ship of Love with Jon & Tatyana Vroman     In this episode, Sam, Pat, Jon and Tatyana discuss:  Tatyana's podcast debut!  What Jon and Tatyana have learned about themselves over the course of their 10+ year relationship (patience).  Benefits of afternoon sex and also morning sex.  Being authentic and allowing your partner to be their authentic selves.  Parenting the best you can in the situation now – it’s never too late to be a great parent.  Key Takeaways:  Weekly dates aren't realistic for everyone, but planned time alone together is crucial.  With arguments – it’s timing over topic.  Whoever is the least triggered in an argument is the one responsible for healing the conversation.  Your relationship with your partner needs to be priority #1 if you want to be a great parent.  You can't be everything for your partner and that is not a problem.  At the heart of it, love is patience.        "Anything that happens, it’s worth keeping this marriage going. Even if it’s hard, and difficult, and makes no sense, there is a reason why we are together. And it’s a huge reason." — Tatyana Vroman        Mentions: Hal Elrod, Mike McCarthy, Esther Perel        Connect with Guest:  Twitter:  @jonvroman  Facebook:  Jon Vroman, Tatyana Vroman  Website:  FrontRowDads.com  Book: The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making  Show: Front Row Factor, Front Row Dads  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonvroman/     Connect with Sam and Pat:  Twitter: @BiggerLoveBook  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BiggerLoveBook  Website: http://www.biggerlove.com/  Book: Bigger Love- How to have the love of your life for the rest of your life        Show notes by show producer: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie     Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert.

Listen To The Podcast: RESOURCES: Front Row Factor Book: https://amzn.to/2nqN1cS Front Row Factor Podcast: http://bit.ly/2M9wcRP Front Row Dads Podcast: https://apple.co/2ARDV2p INTERVIEW: Jon, welcome back to DREAM THINK DO, buddy. 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,

“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.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Jon Vroman. If you haven't heard of Jon Vroman, he is a philanthropist, a speaker, a bestselling author, an ultra-marathon runner and the founder of the Front Row Foundation. Jon has been doing incredible work for many years, working with people at the end of their lives, mainly people with terminal illnesses. The lessons that he's learned and the inspiration that he's taken away has led him to write an incredible book and come up with an entire philosophy about how to make moments. It's normal if you don't understand what that means, what making a moment is actually about. I was unclear about it as well and I was also unclear on what it means to live life in the front row. We went into both of these in the episode, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they meant something way cooler, way more meaningful and way more inspiring than even I could have imagined. So I am very excited to bring you guys this episode and I am sure you guys are going to enjoy it!

Jon Vroman inspires others to Live Life In The Front Row™ by teaching the art of moment making. He is an award-winning keynote speaker, podcast host and #1 bestselling author of The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making.

''When we have purpose, we find power.'' - Jon Vroman What started as an organization to help people brave life-threatening illnesses, has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined. If you’re brand new to the show, The Front Row Foundation is like Make-a-Wish meets Tony Robbins. We create life changing experiences for kids and adults who are fighting for their lives by putting them in the front row of their dream event. Today, we want to celebrate a major milestone! We’ve recently surpassed a decade of creating these experiences, which has resulted in over 100 magical moments for Front Row recipients! But what amazes me even more, is how this foundation has evolved over the years. It’s not just a wish organization, it’s a philosophy for life. We have built a community and culture that continues to ask the question: “how do we live every day in the front row fully engaged, closer to the things that make us come alive and make us feel like every moment of our life is meaningful?” To celebrate, I wanted to get together with some of the people who have been there from the beginning. Which brings us to today’s special conversation... In today’s roundtable discussion, 5 best friends—myself, Hal Elrod (International Bestselling Author of The Miracle Morning and #1 donor to The Front Row Foundation), Jon Berghoff (Managing Partner of the Flourishing Leadership Institute), John Ruhlin (Author of Giftology), and John Kane (Director of Sales at Cutco and first person to ever get the Front Row tatoo!)—revisit how The Front Row Foundation has brought us together and share stories of how we’ve supported each other over the years.

[01:13:16] Smiling in the midst of adversity—What Hal’s battle with cancer can teach us about making the most out of difficult situations.

Nobody succeeds alone. That’s the simple, yet very important takeaway from today’s conversation. When I was young, I didn’t believe I needed anybody’s help. I wanted to prove to the world that my success was mine—that I had made it completely on my own. Well, as you can probably imagine, that didn’t work out so well! Luckily, I started to recognize the power of relationships and how building a support system of likeminded and like-hearted individuals would not only catapult the success of my business endeavors, but would also bring a completely different level of joy and fulfillment into my life.    20 years later, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by an incredibly talented group of friends. Together we have empowered each other to succeed well beyond what we ever dreamed possible. In today’s roundtable discussion, 5 best friends—myself, Jon Berghoff (co-creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint LIVE Experience), Jon Vroman (founder of Front Row Foundation), John Ruhlin (author of Giftology), and John Kane (record-setting endurance athlete)—revisit the biggest lessons from two decades of supporting each other.   You’ll see that we have a lot of fun reliving past stories, sharing meaningful moments, and discussing the values and philosophies that have shaped our lives. You’ll also hear why the Front Row Foundation (think make-a-wish meets Tony Robbins) is the glue that keeps us all connected and how the values behind the organization are fully aligned with the way we are living and succeeding together!   KEY TAKEAWAYS Leveraging the power of HUMOR in the midst of adversity—What Hal’s battle with cancer can teach us about making the most out of difficult situations.

Jon Vroman inspires others to live life in the front row, and teaches the art of “moment making.” The unique thing is he talks about it from an entirely different perspective, and Jon’s work is transformative and new in this space. He’s an award-winning speaker and #1 best selling author of The Front Row Factor, as well as hosting his own podcast (it all started when Jon founded The Front Row Foundation). I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jon as much as I did…

''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. [25:47] Angie shares some recipient stories about uniting as a team and pushing the limits for someone else. [31:55] Why Angie chooses to support the Front Row Foundation and what makes it such an incredible charity to be a part of. [36:56] The correlation between business success and giving back. [42:36] Angie shares examples of how you can choose to make any moment a better experience. [48:04] Angie provides a powerful explanation as to what it means to live life in the front row.

''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. For many of you Blueprint listeners who have helped us raise over $25,000 during our past March Madness Charity events, I’m proud to announce that we are partnering with Jon and The Front Row Foundation this year.

When you get to the end of your life, will you look back with regret or will you feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude, knowing that you made the most of each and every moment? In today’s episode of the Achieve Your Goals podcast, Jon Vroman is here to talk about how you can choose to either watch life pass you by OR decide to live life in the front row! Jon is a loving husband and Dad to 2 amazing boys. After that, he identifies as a social entrepreneur, award-winning motivational speaker, author, philanthropist, podcaster, personal coach, ultra-marathon runner, and founder of Front Row Foundation. In today’s conversation, we discuss his new book, Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with the Art of Moment Making. 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. During the interview, Jon shares his journey leading up to the creation of the book, including the origin story of the Front Row Foundation, a wish organization that’s helped hundreds of people who are fighting for their lives, live front row experiences. Jon’s time working closely with the foundation has definitely put life in perspective. He recognizes that there is a lot we can learn about living life, from those who are fighting for it. He believes that you don’t always get to choose your seat in life, but you do get to choose whether or not you have a front row experience.
