82. Find Authentic Power Thru Authentic Relationship w/ Jon Vroman

Do you ever struggle to feel deeply connected to your authentic power? Could that be preventing you from being fully present in your everyday life? Could that be preventing you from having the love you deeply desire? In this episode, my guest, Jon Vroman, the Founder of Front Row Dads, and I mine these questions for valuable insights to make a meaningful difference in your life. I’m a big fan of Jon Vroman, the man. I just met him recently at a mutual friend’s pool party, and we had occasion to drop in and talk for probably a good 90 minutes poolside, and I just knew Jon was going to be a guy I would want to know more. I love that John’s organization, Front Row Dads, which we talk about towards the end of the podcast, announces itself as a community for men who identify themselves as family men with businesses, not businessmen with families. I think that family-first orientation is a profound paradigm shift that’s deeply needed in the world, and I love that Jon has taken up the banner and is serving men who are fathers to lean more fully into family and fatherhood. While we range through a few topics in our conversation today, the core of our conversation centers around Jon’s recent trip to Burning Man, his first, and the reckoning he and his wife of 16 years had no choice but to face there, as their relationship hung in the balance.  It’s a fascinating teaching story and essential for any man who wants to thrive not just in the relationship, but in life. We talk about that and more. And at the end, I asked Jon Vroman what his 5 emotional triggers are… a new lightning question round I’m enjoying hearing all the different answers to, so stay tuned all the way through to the end of this episode of Men, This Way… Highlights/Keypoints: (13:01) A story that played a fundamental role in shaping Jon as a man (17:13) Jon’s experience at Burning Man (20:31) What did Jon know he was carrying that needs to be confronted or dealt with?  (22:36) Jon’s Marriage + Tension in his relationship with Tatyana (28:47) Is Burning Man a critical turning point for Jon?
