In today's episode, Andrew and Mike talk to Jon Vroman, Founder of Front Row Dads, a diverse group of 230 dads from 12 different countries who share a common bond of choosing to put family first as they grow their businesses.
Tune in to hear Jon describe what it takes to win at home and work, as well as some simple habits, strategies, and routines to help men take responsibility for themselves, their families, their community, and the world.
