FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned "Dad" into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you'll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it's a Homer Simpson mentality, and it's BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there's still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find "their crew." Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)
If you're reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys… when you're ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.

Fellas,
Today's episode is my last in a series with Dr. Robert Glover who will be bringing his expertise to FRD Live in Austin, December 4-6th.
This episode dives deep into why Brotherhood is more crucial than ever.
We explore:
Why This Matters:Our world often tells men to go it alone, but the truth is, we need each other to become our best selves. This conversation is a wake-up call for men to find or create spaces where they can be vulnerable, strong, and supported by other men.
