Front Row Dads with Jon Vroman

If you're like many high achieving Dads, you probably know a thing or two about setting goals. But where a lot of guys struggle, is when it comes to creating and developing goals as a couple. What happens if you're a goal setter, but your partner isn't? This can be a big point of contention in a relationship. But when you and your spouse are able to fully understand each other's core values, even when they don't totally match, it can allow your relationship to thrive. Joining me today to talk about this is my good friend Geoff Woods. Geoff is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and the host of The ONE Thing podcast. He's on a mission to help people better invest their time and get better results – in all areas of life. Over the years, Geoff has helped many couples in all kinds of situations achieve success in their relationships. If things are going well, he can help you make them even better. And if they're not, well, he knows how to get you back on track. Today's conversation is a great one. We're discussing the importance of goal setting as a couple and the impact it can make in your life. Last year, Tatyana and I attended a couples' goal setting retreat led by Geoff and his business partner Jay Papasan, and we experienced major breakthroughs. This year, Geoff will be offering this retreat virtually. If this is something that interests you (and by the end of this episode you'll know if it's for you), simply go to FrontRowDads.com/goals to get more information and enroll. Gold Nuggets Why so many couples feel like they aren't growing together, or are out of alignment - and how a deep understanding of your core values and goals can transform this dynamic. The importance of setting, dating, and checking in on your and your spouse's goals on a regular basis. How to talk to your partner about why goal setting matters to you. Why goals don't have to be shared between couples to be achieved. How to conquer your fear of finding clarity leading to the end of your relationship. Why there's no better time to get your goals in alignment than right now. Big Questions Asked Is goal setting as a couple a one time deal or does it have to continuously be revisited? What does it mean to have a relationship with our goals? Why is it so important for someone else to do the talking (i.e. outside help) when it comes to setting goals as a couple? How can a high achieving Dad get his partner (who may not be a goal setter) to say YES to attending a goal setting event for couples? What does a couple do if their goals aren't the same? How can a couple decide what matters most when it comes to their mutual goals? What kind of fears do couples have when attending an event like this and how can they overcome them? What is The ONE Thing Virtual Goal Setting Retreat and how can someone join?

Are you wondering what it's like to watch porn with your partner? Vanessa and Xander Marin explain how to! I'm a fan of sex. So is my wife. But I wish we were more insync. I go to bed early. She goes to bed late. I work during the day when she's ready to play. Sound familiar? When Tatyana and I are turned on at the exact same moment, it's fireworks, and it's also rare. Let me be honest, lately our sex life has been bonkers. It's been passionate, fun and sexy as hell (this is after 14 years together). In the past decade, there have been many times when I felt "This is probably the best it'll ever be." How ignorant of me. To think I knew everything. To think we'd explored the depths of our marriage to it's fullest extent, to think I had somehow mastered sex. WTF. Boy was I wrong. The last couple years I've been learning about things that prove the proves -- I know what I don't know (I've heard about Tantra, but what the hell is it), but mostly, most stuff I don't know what I don't know (Wait...what did just say, this is the first time I'm hearing about this!) The latter happens so often, I'm both frustrated by it (because I feel ignorant) and inspired by it (because there's so much I can do). So...in the spirit of constant and never ending improvement, let's talk about sex. Let's talk about it, because when sex is amazing, your marriage is better, and that is at the core of being a great dad to your kids. Happy dad, happy mom, happy kids. So without further ado, here's a little preview to what's covered in my chat with the sex expert Vanessa Marin and her husband Xander… Dealing with mismatched sex drives Who's supposed to initiate? How can we bring adventure into the bedroom? The impact of porn (and how much could be good for you) And lots more… Enjoy the show! And if you dig it, please leave a rating/review -- it means the world to our team, and our guests. QUOTE "Every single couple has mismatched sex drives. There's not a single couple out there where both partners want sex at the same time or way." - Vanessa Marin "There is no such thing as being universally good at sex." - Vanessa Marin PEOPLE MENTIONED Vanessa Marin Xander Marin EPISODE RESOURCES VM Theraphy Insta , Facebook, Twitter ABOUT OUR GUESTS Vanessa is a licensed psychotherapist with bachelor's degrees in human sexuality and sociology from Brown University, a master's degree in counseling psychology, and two decades of experience working with thousands of couples. Xander is an ex-consultant who left the corporate world because he was so inspired by Vanessa's mission to help couples transform their relationships. His practical experience and down-to-earth nature will help set you at ease. Their relationship has been their best teacher, and they feel deeply honored to share the lessons they've learned (and continue to learn!) with other couples.

During his 90-minute workshop, Chris asked big questions... - What is your family brand? - How do you create and hold space for your family? - Why do kids fail at who they're supposed to be? - How can your home be the greatest leadership development opportunity in your world? - How much does your family know about it's history?

Parenting with Strength Most parents operate out of frustration, but when you parent from a lens of strengths it flips parenting from being frustrated to being fascinated. Embrace the reality that within you have amazing parenting strengths that are derived from your zone of genius. Get off the idea that there are perfect parents. Avoid the "cult of comparison" that comes from social media.

Yesterday, my family interrupted my work countless times. For months, it has been this way. The kids schooled from home during the lockdown. Now they're mostly summering at home, too, as most of their typical summer programs are still on lockdown. Every few minutes, there is something they need. "Dad, where is the soft bread?" "Can you log me on to the computer?" "What's for lunch?" "Do I really have to go outside?" "Can we come back in and watch a movie?" "I've only been outside for thirty minutes?" "Can I come back in after thirty-five minutes?" "Daddy, lookit!" Yesterday, I interrupted my work for them begrudgingly. I tried to hide it. I tried to be patiently responsive. I didn't yell. I didn't shame. I didn't tell them how much I wanted to be left alone. After all, they didn't ask to be a child in the age of coronavirus. So, I thought I did a pretty good job not punishing them for their circumstance. I subtly gritted my teeth, smiled a little tightly, and got through it without doing anything that might warrant a therapy appointment somewhere down the road. This morning, though, during my meditation, I saw something else. I saw that yesterday I'd been on autopilot, prioritizing my work over my family. Yes, some days this absolutely has to happen—boundaries are a good and necessary thing sometimes. However, yesterday wasn't one of those days for me. Yesterday, my work was interruptible, but I'd absentmindedly chosen to see them as the interruption of my work life, rather than seeing my work as an interruption of my family life. So, today, I set the intention of interrupting my work for them gladly. When they interrupted me, I chose to see it as an opportunity to attend to the people l care about most. Several "interruptions" in, my wife looked at me with a grateful smile and said, "You love us this morning, don't you?" The truth is, I don't love them any more than yesterday. I've simply set the intention of responding to them so that my love can actually be seen and felt. In the end, intentionality is as important as love, because it's the key that unlocks our affection for our people. There are lots of ways to be intentional about loving our people better. Meditation. Reading. Therapy. But I can't think of a better way to be intentional about this most important of endeavors than the upcoming "Evolve as a Father" Front Row Dads Online Summit. Every time I've met in person with a Front Row Dad, I've come away a more intentionally loving father and husband. I've come away unlocked.

Zach Bush and I chat about why needs biodiversity on this quick encore episode. Did you notice the warfare on germs and isolation? Health is not complicated, it's not expensive, it's not something that comes from a bottle or a textbook. Health is intrinsic to life. As humans, we have gotten away from the truth. We have forgotten that we are inherently built for health and longevity. And today's guest, Zach Bush MD, is here to talk all about it. Zach is a triple board-certified physician applying the rigor of science, the strength of humanity, and the intelligence of nature to transform the world. We chat about his approach to treating disease, the identities and labels we manifest around health, surrendering human constructs, the importance of showing up big for our family, and so much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Choosing to see your kids as teachers The transformation, healing and journey of getting remarried The uncomfortableness of being eyes wide open Why exploring the world and understanding the power of multigenerational community is for children Preventing our own extinction through a reconnection to nature and relationships How to reflect the beauty of others, and demonstrate the beauty of self Evolving through a pattern interrupt: Heartbreak recovery and self evaluation How Zach evolved as a man and as a father Rethinking the Battle Mentality of Man Making mother nature a part of the family The dangers of over-sterilization of our home environments and why washing hands might be hurting more than helping What biodiversity taught Zach about life at home Blow the walls off the box our kids are being put in to What people need to surrender and what paradigm they need to shift Pride is poison: Being in awe of your children versus being proud of them QUOTES "If you see the beauty, then you will experience love" - Zach Bush, M.D. "A relationship is about allowing life to happen in your partner" - Zach Bush, M.D. "We have to surrender the human constructs to realize a deep powerful truth that we are alive" - Zach Bush, M.D. "Refuse to let the school systems or the social pressures keep your kids in the box. The limited contact with nature is destroying their immune system" Zach Bush, M.D. EPISODE RESOURCES ZachBushMD.com Please review the Healthy Child Immunity and Vaccination Petition to push legislative attention towards getting better science around vaccinations Farmer's Footprint- A non-profit to encourage the American consumer to empower our farmers to take back our food, and our right to the health that the food should bring us and our children. Non Toxic Communities - A non-profit to help people campaign for safe, healthy landscapes. Follow on Twitter, Insta, Facebook PEOPLE MENTIONED Tim Urban Hal Elrod ABOUT THE GUEST Zach Bush MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. One of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country, with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. The breakthrough science that my colleagues and I have delivered offers profound new insights into human health and longevity. In 2012, I discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria, and my team has subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions as an antidote to glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. This science has resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including the product RESTORE. In February of 2019, I launched Farmer's Footprint, a docu-series presenting the social, economic, and educational incentives to encourage a mass exodus of farmers away from conventional chemical agriculture practices toward regenerative land management to restore human health, food and water security, and food independence. You can view it on vimeo here. My kids are the driving force behind my passion for change. I am fiercely motivated by a desire to have my children experience a much brighter and healthier future. My educational efforts provide a grassroots foundation from which we can launch change in our legislative decisions, ultimately up-shifting consumer behavior to bring about radical change in the mega industries of big farming, big pharma, and western medicine at large.
