Tony Lillios Bio

Tony Lillios is a Personal and Professional Coach Integral Coach and entrepreneur. He was notably the co-founder of Speck Products, the protective case maker for mobile products, which was acquired by Samsonite in 2014. His companies have been on the Inc 500 list several times and ranked as high as #41.

Today, as an Integral Coach, Tony works with individuals and small teams looking to unlock more possibilities when feeling stuck. His most productive relationships are with clients who have tried to address what isn’t working or what they aspire towards and have come up short.

Tony is a 10-time Ironman athlete and a marathon open-water swimmer. He became the first swimmer to complete a round-trip swim across the deep, cold waters of Crater Lake in 2012. Tony has also led an expedition across Bhutan, seeking a deeper first-hand account of the country’s policy of Gross National Happiness, chronicled in the documentary Crossing Bhutan.

Want to hang out with other FRDs in Austin? Watch this 3-min video from our last Front Row Dads Live event. Tickets avaiable now for December’s event. 

Not able to travel?  We got you. 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.
