Front Row Dads - The Show For Dads Who Want To Level Up Their Dad Game

With all that’s going on in the world and the challenges we’re facing as husbands, parents, and entrepreneurs, how do we make the time this year to meaningfully celebrate? How do we make sure that what we’re doing positively impacts ourselves, our families, and our communities? How do we make sure that when we have conversations with people, we’re really listening to what they have to say?  If you’ve got a lot on your mind and tough challenges to face, either at home or at work (or both!) this year, today’s conversation with Stan Pearson is for you.  We’re exploring how to navigate a world full of more challenges (and information) than ever before, how to have impactful conversations during tough times, and how to not just be grateful, but to grow throughout them. Gold Nuggets    Why being “out of control” can look so different for so many people - and how we can effectively cope with these feelings.  Why it’s so important to be able to choose empathy over ego. How meeting people in the middle allows us to r

So many parents who own businesses want to help their children dream big. We want our kids to be able to turn their visions into reality, no matter what they want to do. However, it isn’t always easy to teach those skills. You may not be able to tell if your kids are serious when they come to you with an idea. You also may not know how to help them get the clarity they need to take that idea seriously. If you’re wondering how to teach problem solving, encourage your kids, and instill the spirit of entrepreneurship along the way, you’re going to love today’s conversation. I’m speaking not just with Ryan Waugh — a winemaker, entrepreneur, and father of two — but also his son Carter. Carter came to Ryan with the idea for his product, Critts shoes, when he was eight years old. Instead of being dismissive or thinking of it as a pipe dream, Ryan helped Carter create his first business plan and file his first patent. Two years later, they’ve run a successful Kickstarter and raised over $40,000, manufactured products

If you like what you hear in this bite sized segment, you may want to check out the full length episode on Wednesday at FrontRowDads.com/249 About Today's Guest The story of Waugh Family Wines is one of Hopes, Dreams, Fate, Passion and True Love! Ryan Waugh was born and raised in Newberg, Oregon and Crystal (Kettle) Waugh was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Ryan had aspirations to be a surgeon and followed that dream to Santa Clara University where he graduated with degrees in Biology and Chemistry. Crystal enjoyed business and fashion and attended Texas A&M where she achieved a bachelor degree in Marketing and Business Administration. After graduating Crystal entered the Executive Training program at Neiman Marcus. Quickly climbing the ladder, soon Crystal was in charge of the college recruiting program. During Ryan’s freshman year at Santa Clara, a friend’s father shared a bott

Do you have a great mentor in your life?  Were there people in your childhood, at school, or at work who pushed you to new heights and inspired you to dream bigger?  When you’ve faced real challenges, who showed up for you in your moment of need?  If you answered yes, you already know that mentors are extraordinary people. They can lead us to new opportunities, help us triumph over the toughest things we face in life, and push us to be better fathers, husbands, and business owners.  As I interviewed today’s guest, Wayne Herring, it became clear to me just how impactful mentors can be. Wayne is the founder of Business Builder Camp, where he helps guys grow businesses to serve their families more efficiently, but he didn’t get there alone. He is living proof that mentors of all kinds help us thrive in good times and survive in bad ones. We’re talking about the incredible lessons we’ve learned from others, and how you can use this wisdom to step up your game as a human being and show up for the people you love,

If you like what you hear in this bite sized segment, you may want to check out the full length episode on Wednesday at FrontRowDads.com/246 About Today's Guest As the founder of Business Builder Camp, Wayne Herring has helped men across the country grow their businesses into successful and thriving enterprises. However, there is so much more to his story than simply “coach” or “consultant.” Wayne has worked as a specialty drilling and blasting contractor and an organic farmer. He has run ultra marathons, gone on epic road trips, and is a 1997 Montana state arm wrestling champion. He loves to hunt and farm, but he also enjoys yoga and meditation. Some have described Wayne as a renaissance man, but he thinks that is a strange term for the son of a coal miner.  Having grown a business and coached other business owners, Wayne understands we all have times in our lives where we are blocked.

How’s your sex life? 1-10 scale, if 10 means you’re totally on fire!   How would you wife rate it?   When was the last time you had a totally honest chat about it?  Many guys think it’s great (and their partner may or may not agree), while other guys wish it were 10x better.  A few years ago, for me personally, my wife and I were lacking something -- spoken clearly, things were predictable, routine and boring.   Like anything in life, having an extraordinary sex life takes focus, learning, experimenting and making adjustments along the way.    I decided it was time to up my game. I started putting in the work, learning as much as I could, and having open conversations about it.  I read books, listened to podcasts, talked with friends and guess what -- I didn’t know everything. Go figure.   Since then, our sex life has caught fire.  True intimacy, on every level, is such an important part of a happy marriage, yet there are very few men who are having honest conversations about it, which is why I’ve invited sex

Over seven years ago, food activist, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and Café Gratitude founder Ryland Engelhart took a trip to New Zealand, where he saw a panel presentation that moved him to tears. He was convinced that there was simply too much carbon in the atmosphere. Even if humanity successfully reduced its emissions and decarbonized transportation, he likened the experience to slowly driving off a cliff. But after this presentation, he saw another - and it helped him truly understand the connection between nature and humanity. He finally saw a way forward, a way to make the world better in seven generations, and could envision a pathway to the future that didn’t end in catastrophe. Over the next seven years, Ryland put together the Kiss The Ground documentary to share this discovery with as many people as possible, and I’ve been excited about this film for a long time. Narrated by Woody Harrelson and now streaming worldwide on Netflix, the film has been called “The key to combating climate change” by Forbes
