#454: Redefining Success Through Fatherhood with Jon Vroman

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the Mark Groves Podcast, Jon Vroman, founder of Front Row Dads, delivers a bold call to action for men to reorient their lives around what truly matters—family. Sharing his own awakening sparked by a sobering truth from his wife, Vroman reveals how he went from a high-achieving, externally praised speaker to a father and husband deeply committed to presence over performance. He challenges the societal norm of defining success through business accolades, urging men to become "family men with businesses, not businessmen with families." Through raw stories, vulnerable insights, and practical wisdom, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to lead with purpose, deepen relationships, and build a legacy from the inside out.

Jon Vroman is a social entrepreneur, bestselling author, and award-winning speaker on a mission to help people “live life in the front row.” As the founder of the Front Row Foundation, he creates unforgettable experiences for individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, and through his book The Front Row Factor, podcast, and live events, he inspires others to live with intention, presence, and purpose. With over 750 keynotes delivered and a reputation for deeply connecting with audiences, Jon empowers individuals to align their values, strengthen relationships, and build legacies that matter—starting at home. He’s also the proud founder of Front Row Dads, a devoted husband, father of two, and an ultra-marathon runner.
