450: Stop Struggling Alone: The Power of Small Men’s Groups with Eric Farewell & Brent Perkins

Today, I’m joined by Brent Perkins and Eric Farewell, two incredible humans from our community who’ve not only crushed it as entrepreneurs but also made a tremendous impact as parents, husbands, and friends to the Brotherhood. Brent and Eric walk us through their journey of participating in and leading FRD bands, which has helped them open up about their fears and feelings and transformed their connections with their families and everyone around them. One of the main areas we focused on was challenging the stereotypical “strong man” image and defining real masculinity for men who are willing to put in the work, be vulnerable, and commit to being better Dads and husbands. Yes, men need to be strong, but true strength is being courageous enough to talk openly when we’re struggling.   A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through… The impact that FRD bands have had on Eric & Brent Exploring a different definition of masculinity How FRD bands help men become less rigid and hardened Two key ingredients for a thriving band of brothers How being in a band holds men accountable & skip the BS What happens when men share their lives openly in a diverse group Joining a band could be the spark to change your life Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?

Join our next online event, built just for kickass dads who know there’s more to learn. FrontRowDads.com/summit  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.   One more thing…  Has this podcast helped you?
