Matt Drinkhahn is a business coach, strategist to growth-minded clients, a dear friend, and valued member of the FRD Brotherhood. He just released a fantastic book, The Eternal Optimist, which I'm excited to dig into and the impact that it's had on so many people. One of Matt's greatest gifts is that any time you spend with him always leaves you feeling loved, accepted, optimistic, and re-energized about your future. You can never have too many friends, especially when struggling with doubt, shame, and guilt. We'll talk about how it's never too late to make a change and be a friend to someone who feels that they're not enough. In our conversation, Matt opens up about his evolution as a parent and how he moved away from micromanaging his kids' lives to letting them carve their own paths. He also emphasizes the benefits of having a Brotherhood to lift you up and remind you that being perfectly imperfect is better than constantly striving for perfection. One last thing, we’re giving away a few copies of Matt’s book. If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a genuine review, send a screenshot of the review and your address to support@frontrowdads.com with your address and we’ll send you a copy. (US residents only due to international shipping costs).

Gentlemen, I’m chatting with my dear friend Ali Jafarian. Ali is an amazing husband, father, and legend in the Front Row Dads community.  If there’s one thing that the two of us have in common, it’s an appreciation for the outdoors. Whether we’re hosting a night with friends and family in the backyard around a firepit, taking the family on a hike, or creating epic adventures, we speak the same language. In our conversation, we dropped some teasers on what the upcoming FRD Summer Summit will look like and talked about how connecting with nature and the people we love creates stories and memories that last a lifetime.  We also shared ways we can sprinkle a healthy dose of uncertainty in our kids’ lives so they can be more resilient and talked about the importance of surrendering to play, get a little silly, and create memories they’ll never forget.

He later co-founded Pela, an innovative start-up specializing in sustainable phone cases which he grew to over $100 million. In 2021, Brad and his Pela team launched Lomi, a successful crowd-funding campaign that raised $9.8 million for the world’s first smart kitchen waste composter which is an incredible device if you haven’t heard about it.  In our conversation, Brad gives us a glimpse of his wild journey filled with epic highs and gut-wrenching lows, including surviving bankruptcy multiple times and how that prepared him to take on the world’s greatest challenges through his later ventures.  You’ll get to hear his tactics on hiring a dream team in your business, and why he’s not a fan of the “24/7” hustle mentality. He also shares a personal revelation inspired by his kids and why he’s now laser-focused on making every moment count with his loved ones.

Gio is a 2x EMMY® Award-Winning Producer, TedX Speaker, and the Founder and CEO of Archangel, a global community of superhero entrepreneurs and game-changers on a mission to impact millions of people together.   We had a lot of fun digging into how Gio believes we can manufacture serendipity if we allow ourselves to stay present and tune in. You'll also hear Gio talk about when his teachers realized he was gifted at a young age and how it wasn't as fun as you'd imagine. But when he discovered the X-Men comic books, it changed his definition of what being gifted meant, and now he wants his and all kids to be encouraged to share their own superpowers with the world. Gio has been creating EPIC events since he was 16 years old. And you won't want to miss the story he shares of the HUGE event he put on when he was SEVENTEEN, at North America's largest nightclub at the time with thousands inside and thousands more lined up to get in.

Mike Brown is a man with a fascinating blend of experiences as a wealth coach, investor, and former NAVY fighter jet pilot. He’s the founder of Unbreakable Wealth, a coaching program with a mission to help entrepreneurs break through key hurdles to hit new highs in their businesses and bank accounts. In our conversation, we dig into Mike’s strategies for swapping the limiting beliefs we have about wealth with empowering narratives that drive success. You’ll hear Mike discuss why boredom and laser-sharp focus are the real game-changers to wealth accumulation, how he made his first million and had an 8-figure exit. Mike also shares the story about when he realized his son hated playing baseball - and how that opened his eyes to letting his son choose what he wants to do. We’ll also get into his experience with co-parenting after getting remarried and why making an impact is more important to him than leaving a legacy.

Christopher Nicolaysen knows what it’s like to grow up without a lot of money and with a father who wasn’t around much because of work. As a parent, he’s done everything he can to ensure his daughters had a father who was home as much as possible and fully present when he was with them. In our conversation, you’ll hear what family time is like in the Nicolaysen household. From getting absolutely demolished by his daughter playing Mario Kart, board game nights, why they decided to get matching tattoos and how he avoids the stereotypical working Dad “How was your day” question. But it’s not all fun and games. Christopher and his wife have already paid for their funerals; they’ve talked to their kids about money and involved them in their legacy planning. We covered a lot of ground, but the big takeaway here is how he’s created such close bonds with his daughters, who are grown-ups now, how he de-escalates confrontation and keeps his marriage fresh and thriving after 26 years. Enjoy! A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through… Learning good work ethics from Dad The quickest way to lose respect from your kids Being present for those ordinary moments Getting smoked in Mario Kart by your kids Staying engaged leads to a healthy marriage Legacy planning and talking about money with kids The $20 tipping rule De-escalation methods to manage arguments  Advice on parenting, marriage, money, and health The FRD 5 - Five Daily Commitments Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?
