Phillip Stutts, my new friend, just published The Undefeated Marketing System.
It's a book about how to grow businesses and build audiences. If you want to learn a lot about digital marketing and the tools and techniques that win presidential campaigns, he lays it all out.
But I took more from it than that. Phillip's book taught me to learn more about my kids and my wife. Most importantly, it made me ask myself, "How can I connect and deliver as a family man?"
Phillip writes about the importance of really listening to people when it comes to reaching them through marketing, yet all the lessons he teaches apply just as much to our families as they do to our companies.
In today's conversation with Phillip, we talk about the dramatic changes he's made in the last five years of his life to write a book, show up for his family, own six companies, and fight an extraordinarily rare esophageal disease. You'll learn about his remarkable transformation, the five rules of marketing that every successful campaign follows, and how to become a better listener to improve every relationship in your life.
I strongly feel like this is a book that everyone should read right now (in fact, I'm having my entire team read it right now), and as a thank you for listening, I want to gift it to you! All I ask is that you write an honest review of the podcast on Apple. Be sure to mention the Phillip Stutts episode in your review, take a screenshot, and email it to info@frontrowdads.com and I'll mail you a copy of the book.

My friend Johnny Kane didn't just recommend that I read Jesse Harless's book, If Not You, Then Who?–he told me that everybody should read it.
And man, was Johnny right. I was blown away by the first 50 pages. It's a raw, shockingly good, honest memoir about addiction and recovery. But it's more than that.
Instead of simply sharing his very moving story of struggles with addiction and his road to recovery, Jesse gives his readers the power to take action and change their lives–or provide someone close to them with the help they need.
After reading the book, I knew I needed to chat with Jesse, especially as we all work to unpack the collective trauma we faced as a society in 2020. In this conversation, we dig into how he became a thought leader in the world of addiction and recovery, why we're all addicts of some kind, and how to replace the patterns that don't serve us with ones that can make our lives better.
I strongly feel like this is a book that everyone should read right now, so as a thank you for listening, I want to gift it to you! All I ask is that you write an honest review of the podcast on Apple. Be sure to mention the Jesse Harless episode in your review, take a screenshot, and email it to info@frontrowdads.com and I'll mail you a copy of the book.
Read it, share it, and let us know how it impacted you–I'm confident you'll love it!

What would you learn if you asked 40 amazing guys to write you a letter sharing their best dad advice?
Well, Craig Kessler did exactly this — and now he's sharing everything he learned in his new book, The Dad Advice Project: Words of Wisdom From Guys Who Love Being Dad (coming out on June 1).
Dad Advice: Words of Wisdom From Men Who Love Being Dads with Craig Kessler
As you'll hear in my chat with Craig, his inspiration for the book actually stemmed from not having a great relationship with his own father.
In his search for answers, he decided to ask a handful of friends to write him a letter on "how to be a good dad."
The responses he received inspired him to compile stories from 40+ dads from all walks of life — including professional athletes, TV personalities, businessmen, civic leaders, military veterans, and more!
On our call, Craig shares some of the best insights from the book and provides actionable strategies that you can use to win as a husband and father :)
BTW, if you'd like to get a free copy of Craig's book, leave us a review on iTunes, mention this episode and Craig in the review, and take a screenshot. Send it to jon@frontrowdads.com, and I'll buy and mail you a copy of the book!

When everyone in your life tells you to read a book, the world is telling you something.
This is exactly what happened with John Eldredge's book, Wild at Heart. It started with my friend Ryan Mickler, who'd been talking about his work for years, and soon I felt like I'd heard this recommendation from over eighty guys I trust.
When I finally read it, I was stunned by his work and his message–and today's conversation left me just as floored.
Raising Resilient Boys, Being Wild at Heart and Finding Healthy Ways to Fight with John Eldredge
In today's conversation with John, you'll learn how he unpacked his family trauma to become the man he is today and raise three sons of his own, how to nurture masculinity without being edgy for the sake of edginess, and what it means to show up with courage when you're needed the most.
And if you'd like to get a free copy of Wild at Heart, just leave us a review of this podcast on iTunes, mention this episode and John in the review, and take a screenshot. Send it to jon@frontrowdads.com, and I'll buy and mail you (or anyone you want) a copy of the book!

Guys, as much as we may not want to, we have to think about what will happen to our families after we're gone.
I'm not talking about money or an estate here. I'm talking about what our last words to our kids will be, and how we can share our wisdom, our advice, our love, and our memories not just while we're here on earth, but forever.
Blake Brewer realized this in the hardest way possible–he lost his father in an accident while on vacation in Hawaii. While enjoying a beautiful day of snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, Blake's father suddenly got caught in a rough spot and was struggling to stay above water. His father literally died in Blake's arms while he was trying to rescue him.
Just hours after he passed, Blake had to call his grandparents, his work, and his church to deliver the news.
As he sat with his grief, his mother appeared in the doorway. She put some papers in his hand, which started, "Dear Blake, Natalie, and Marcus…"
This Letter Changed Everything with Blake BrewerHis father had been writing him a letter for several months, and was planning to give it to him on the trip.
On a simple sheet of paper, his father shared his thoughts, his wisdom, encouragement, and advice–and 18 years later these words continue to guide Blake through life.
Over the course of the next year, Blake saw himself develop more as a person and a leader than ever before–and learned how to live with a newfound sense of purpose.
Now, Blake has dedicated his life to helping other dads share legacy letters like the one his father wrote, leading and guiding their children for an entire lifetime.
In my conversation with Blake, you'll get to hear the defining moment that would change his life forever and how to write the legacy letter that's inside your heart waiting to be put to paper!

Ok guys, time to get vulnerable for a minute…
Clearly, as we get older our bodies inevitably change, but I never really thought I'd notice a shift in how I "showed up" in the bedroom, until I did.
There's a happy ending to this story (Pun intended).
A few weeks ago, I met Dr. Amy Killen, who's an expert in maximizing male sexual performance.
PERFECT. TIMING.
While she openly shared with me all the details about her work, I was on the edge of my seat.
Some of the ideas were more complicated, but a few seemed like things I could experiment with over the next week.
She mentioned beet root powder and talked about how it produces nitric oxide, and that I found out, is a good thing. A REALLY good thing.
Energy. Stamina. Muscles. And yes, a full -- and I'm talking full -- erection.
And gents… of course that's not everything, but it's a sign. In fact, Dr. Amy said….penises are like canaries in the coal mine, warning us about our overall cardiovascular health.
After a week of taking this stuff (and no, this podcast isn't sponsored by a supplement company selling you the red juice), I noticed that my energy was different in almost every aspect of my life–not just the bedroom.
Sex Potential, Stem Cell Therapy and Male Optimization with Dr. Amy KillenAfter my personal success, I knew I needed to have her on the podcast.
Amy Killen is an anti-aging and regenerative medicine specialist focused on aesthetics and sexual medicine, including sexual optimization, skin regeneration, and hair restoration.
In today's conversation, we're talking about the signs (both physical AND mental) that you might need someone like Dr. Amy in your life, simple things you can do on a daily basis to mitigate stress levels and improve your sexual performance, and some of the more advanced therapies Amy works with to help men look and perform at their best at any age!

Ok fellas, raise your hand if your kids have come to you with a business idea 🙋🏼♂️
As an entrepreneur myself, having my kids show interest in starting a business is pretty exciting.
Of course, I want them to explore whatever makes them happy. But secretly, I love the idea of them running their own thing. Maybe it's because it's something I know I'll be able to connect with them about. Can any of you relate?
But how involved should we get? What's the right balance between helping them pursue their idea, and letting them make mistakes/figure things out on their own?
Josh Felber - Helping Your Kids Start A BusinessToday I caught up with serial entrepreneur, Josh Felber, to talk all about it!
Josh created his first real business at the age of 14 and has owned 15 more in the 30+ years since. Before the age of 25 he had become a millionaire and today he helps "parent-preneurs" achieve success, while living an integrated lifestyle.
We talk about the different businesses his kids have started, including Gratitude Gear and Paleo Pets, and some really great tips for any parents who have a kid entrepreneur in the family :)

Today, I'm talking with my close friend Jeremy Reisig, a.k.a. Brotha James.
He's been a hugely influential member of the Front Row Dads community.
Why? It's simple: Jeremy has legendary relationships with his family.
In our conversations over the years, I've been deeply moved by the stories he's shared–especially when he talks about the ways his dad, who recently passed away, showed up for him.
5 Things I Learned from my Dad, Before I Lost Him
If you want to connect more deeply with your father (or any father figure in your life), as well as your kids (and who doesn't?), this episode is for you.
Brotha James not only shares brilliant music, but what made his relationship with his dad so special. You'll learn about their traditions, how his dad treated his mother, and which actions spoke louder than words–up until the very end of his life.

Fellas, here's an interesting one for you…
How would your wife rate you on a scale from 1 to 10 in the areas of Work, Health, Kids and Marriage?
That's one of the big questions during today's conversation with my buddy, Dane Espegard.
Dane's a member of Front Row Dads, rock star relationship builder, and someone who is continuously improving in all 4 of these buckets.
I know for me, it's pretty tough to nail all of these areas, all of the time...
So, I wanted to know, what makes Dane's relationship with his wife and kids so strong - and how does he manage to play at such a high level in his personal and professional life at the same time?
Dane drops a ton of wisdom on what does/doesn't work for him and his family. We talk about the importance of being attuned with your wife's emotional needs, the benefits of therapy, healthy forms of fighting, and much more!
