Front Row Dads with Jon Vroman 419: Living Alcohol-Free, Making Better Health Choices and When Sons Lead Their Fathers with James Swanwick
James Swanwick is an entrepreneur, speaker, and former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN. He’s also a passionate advocate for the alcohol-free lifestyle who helps high performers feel and perform better by reducing or quitting alcohol.
He’s got some great stories to share, including how a couple of Bombay Gin drinks and an iHOP meal sobered James up (literally and figuratively) and how sobriety helped him land a gig as an ESPN SportsCenter anchor.
But James’s mission isn’t just about saying no to booze. It's fundamentally about making conscious health decisions and recapturing the invaluable memories alcohol might have taken away from us. Enjoy!

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.
