412: Heroism in the 21st Century, Timeless Wisdom and Training for the Soul with Brian Johnson

Front Row Dads with Jon Vroman

I am thrilled to welcome Brian Johnson on the podcast today. Brian is a philosopher, coach, author and the Founder & CEO of Heroic Public Benefit Corporation who’s helped millions of people worldwide, trained over 10,000 Heroic Coaches from 100+ countries, and created a protocol that science says changes lives.

Today, we’re talking about his newest book, Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential, where he sifted through history, extracted invaluable lessons from history’s most legendary thinkers, and turned them into a life-hack manual for the 21st century.

We’ll also dig into what true heroism for our fellow brothers and Dads looks like in today’s world and how to be role models to our kids. Whether you're struggling with motivation, seeking inner peace, or just trying to figure out how to be a bit happier in this crazy world, Brian's insights are cheat codes for life.

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.
