How to Design a Family First Life – Before Kids w/Chandler Bolt
How to Design a Family First Life – Before Kids
(w/ Chandler Bolt — Founder of selfpublishing.com)
How high-achieving newly married men design a family-first life before kids arrive. Chandler shares the blueprint he and his wife are implementing now: build the village, align your circles (work, friends, faith), and create a home that becomes the hub for family and community.
He explores identity shifts, integrating ambition with family values, and the big question entrepreneurs ask: How do I build a great business without sacrificing a great family?
You’ll learn:
• The Pre-Kids Family Blueprint: how to architect life around marriage & future kids
• Why integration beats balance — combining work, community & family in one place
• How to design a “home as hub” — the modern village model
• Smart moves now: church, neighborhood, office, travel and future homeschooling
• The truth about kids + ambition (and the fears most founders won’t admit)
• How blue-collar grit shaped Chandler — and how to pass it on without hardship
• The “We’re rich. You’re not.” mindset for raising grounded kids
• Why legacy assets like books & family videos matter long-term
If you want to build a thriving business and a thriving future family — this is your playbook.

More About Front Row Dads
Connect with us @ FrontRowDad.com & Instagram.
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.
