This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Today, I’m joined by Dane Johnson, Founder and CEO of Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle, the most successful Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) consulting firm worldwide, offering no-BS effective strategies for battling chronic illnesses.

Dane’s personal health journey is beyond inspirational. Having been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when he was 22 and there were times when Dane couldn’t walk and was hooked up to a feeding tube. Defying the odds, he completely transformed his health using holistic methods instead of relying on conventional heavy-duty antibiotics and medicines.

In our conversation, you’ll hear the routines, supplements, and life hacks he used to become the best version of himself. Dane’s philosophy is actually quite simple: forget about quick fixes. Real change requires a complete overhaul of your daily life. And sometimes that means re-evaluating the company you keep, and having the discipline to watch everything that you put into your body.

A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…

Facing Crohn’s Colitis in your 20s
Consistency over perfection
Depression is a feeling that can be changed
Removing negative energy from your life
Real healing takes time
Your family’s balance starts with you
Health and happiness first, money second
How the food you eat ruins your metabolism
The daily blueprint for track results
Supplements that really work
A proper detox to remove toxins
Innovative therapies for boosting your immune system

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away, and I know how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and forget to make time for something truly meaningful. Gifts and grand gestures are great, but here’s the truth: writing a heartfelt poem for your wife can be far more valuable than anything you can buy her. That’s why I’m sharing something special with you today—a way to express your love through words. In a recent podcast interview, Adam Roa, a renowned poet and speaker, shared an incredible exercise designed to help men craft heartfelt poems for their wives. Adam’s approach is simple yet powerful: it’s not about writing the world’s most perfect poem—it’s about capturing what’s already inside you and putting it on paper. In this 7 minute bonus episode he walks you through: How to reflect on meaningful moments in your relationship. Ways to turn your thoughts and feelings into poetic lines. The transformative power of sharing those words with your partner. Take a few moments to listen and try the exercise. This might just be the most memorable gift you give your wife this Valentine’s Day. _____________________________ About Front Row Dads While most dads would say that family matters most, the challenge is they feel guilty knowing their careers get the best of them, and their family seems to get the rest of them.

In this 16 minute gem with FRD Live facilitator Dr. Robert Glover, best selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, we go into how embodying your fullest self naturally attracts the feminine energy in your life and what it takes to be the guy at the concert enjoying the show. Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn: Why the feminine is deeply drawn to a man who’s confident, knows where he’s going, and enjoys the journey. Simple practices to get grounded and shed the self-doubt and shame that hold you back. How to stop overthinking and truly enjoy the moment (even when life gets chaotic). Techniques like “being where your feet are” to stay present, centered, and fully engaged. The surprising link between spending time with other men and attracting the feminine. Dr. Robert Glover will be facilitating at FRDL so if you get a lot out of this episode and are ready to dive into investing in your well-being, join us at FRD Live in Austin, Texas, December 4th-6th.
