“I’ve listened to three Elite Advisor podcasts so far and the guests have been awesome. The value of their messages goes way beyond landing appointments or being a better advisor. Jon Vroman is no exception. His personality and the story of how he started Front Row Foundation made short work of an hour.
Highlights:
Not a Zero Sum Game:
• Vroman is an exceptionally generous person, but it isn't mere selflessness. “I’d rather have a quarter of a watermelon than half a grape,” Vroman says. I thought this was a particularly memorable quote that says when you focus on helping everybody else win first, you’ll win too. This episode pairs nicely with the John Ruhlin episode, which reinforces the idea of non-zero sum as a new firmware of the mind for nurturing relationships.
Speaking with impact through stories:
• “Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.” - Hannah Arendt. As an avid fiction reader, I can’t tell you what a bombshell this one is for me and how much it rings true. A good story transcends any need to explain “the moral”. Plato observed that the wisdom of the story is wiser than the playwright who wrote it. I will remember this then next time I sit for a job interview! Great stuff!
Consider your time is your life.
• I’m not altogether sure how to apply this lesson, but Vroman challenges the listener to think about your money and your time as your life. He used the old analogy of the marbles in a jar. Each day you move a marble from the “have” jar to the spent “jar” and watch your life disappear. It is indeed valuable to realize you only have so many marbles and you shouldn’t dare waste them. But the path to a life well spent is not linear, by Vroman’s own admission. Douglas Adams said, “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.“ I suppose I’ll take this as, you may not have a clear vision of where you are going. That’s okay. Each day, be the person you want to be; the vision will take care of itself. I’m not sure life is always that simple, but this seems worthy strategy for moving forward.
Great work, Brad and Jon!”
