Jon Vroman, the co-founder of the Front Row Foundation, has found a way to express so profoundly what it means to be a “Moment Maker” and to live life with a “Front Row mindset.” What is the Front Row mindset?
According to Jon, “There are two main beliefs that make up a front row mindset:
“1. The belief that we must fully accept and embrace the parts of our reality we can’t change
2. The belief that we create the future we want through taking bold actions today”
This book is a touching collection of stories about the impact the events created by the Front Row Foundation has had on their recipients and their families and friends, and the lessons that can be learned from the courage, perseverance and focus shown from said recipients in the face of such adversity. It will challenge you, the reader, to create and recognize what makes your life a Front Row life. This book made me laugh, cry and feel compelled to live my life in the Front Row and to find and celebrate Front Row moments happening in my life everyday!
“What Front Row moment can you recognize or create right now?”
I wish I could give this book more stars! I can’t recommend it highly enough! It will change your life forever!

At the beginning of this book Jon is writing about his personal life, and how he get the idea to start Front Row Foundation. He talks about how he had successful career as salesman, but he wasn’t feeling fulfilled with his work and how his life turned out. He wanted to change, and he did change himself by starting a foundation to help other.
Let talk more about the foundation.
Front Row Foundation help those who have life-threatening illnesses; simply by making some of their wishes come true. Like meeting someone famous they like, getting to concerts, shows etc. And I think that it’s a great thing that Jon and his team are doing to bring joy to people who are in fight for their own life.
There are many examples in this book how did Jon and his foundation helped people and how many smiles they brought to people.
Now, this book is all about helping us to start improving ourselves, even though, majority of us doesn’t have health issues – we can still use many of the tips from this book to improve our way of living.
There a section in this book where it’s saying that it is all up to us; whether we going to be victims or victors of our lives.
There is a good quote in this book:
“Remember that you are always exactly where you need to be, experiencing what you need to experience so that you can learn in order to become the person you need to be to create everything you want for your life. Always.”
First of all, I need to mention when I was reading through the stories and what make other happy; it got me into thinking that majority of time I’m not satisfied with the way I live. I do work on improving my life, to learn more, to earn more.
But reading through this book got me thinking that I need to be more grateful in my life for everything that I’ve had accomplished so for; and that I need to be thankful that I’m not struggling with health issues of any kind.
I think that everyone who reads this book will feel the same. Many of us suffer from the same issue, lack of fulfillness in our lives – but the problem is that we don’t even know exactly what would make us happy. We often think about material things that will make us happy, because we don’t own it.
I like this book because it got me more thinking about my life, in what direction should I move forward. So many of us feel lost, and don’t know what to do to change it. It’s even worse if we are not trying to improve or change our lives.
This book will help to value more your current situation. And when someone is grateful for his or her current situation, then it become easier to work on improving step by step in future. I know this might sound a bit confusing, but it’s very hard to move forward if you are in constant negative state about your current situation (I know that, I’ve been in that situation). I’m looking at that this way – there are always someone, somewhere who is in much worse position than I am.

Still in the process of reading it and am halfway and couldn't stop myself from writing a review before I finished it. First off, what great life lessons are in this book! Was changing how I was looking at situations as they were happening AS I WAS READING IT. When I witnessed that I realized the true potential of this book.
I also had the privilege of meeting Jon at one of my work conferences and he is such a down to earth guy. Taking the time out to talk to every single person and not just normal questions but REALLY getting to KNOW each individual who wanted their book signed. I have never seen an author take that much time into recognizing and getting to know each of their customers. I had a front row experience with Jon and I am really excited to finish the rest of the book and see how I can influence others through the Front Row Factor.
Thanks for you time Jon! Hope all is well.

Jon Vroman is brilliant, authentic, heart-centered and a true inspiration!
His book, 'The Front Row Factor,' teaches us how to make the best of each moment and truly live life to it's fullest.
I am deeply touched by the work and dedication he and his team have put into the Front Row Foundation and the many lives they have touched.
By giving to those who are battling life-threatening illnesses, the opportunity to have the 'front row' seat at the live performance of their dreams
In reading his book, I learned some of the recipients stories first hand. I walked away feeling a new found motivation to not only make my own front row moments but also with questions on how I can more fully serve others.
Jon's book is a must read!
Thank you Jon for the work that you do and for sharing a piece of your heart for all of us to learn and grow from.

Awesome book! Made me more excited about life and having an impact on others. I am already creating front row moments for myself and others and it is exciting. If everyone in the world would have the mindset of being a moment maker, the world would be a much better place.

Jon Vroman founded a charity which has turned into a movement and a philosophy.
In the Front Row Factor, Jon lets you into the story behind the charity, how it started, how he came to seek more contribution in his daily life and most importantly gives you a look at how the front row charity has impacted the lives of the recipients and their families.
Jon and team have had a front row seat to creating memories for these terminally ill patients and there families that both help distract and give them hope during their illness but also provide powerful positive memories if the recipient does indeed succumb to their disease.
What this proximity has provided Jon is a lens into what is really important, what people focus on a remember and how to create impactful front row moments.
If that was all this book was about it would have already been a home run, but Jon has extended the metaphor into all of our lives. The book talks about how to live a front row life and how to create front row moments for you, your friends and your family.
Following the framework that Jon lays out in the Front Row Factor will help to amplify and strengthen your relationships, it will help you to focus on what is really important and to make sure that you are present in every moment.
I can't recommend this book highly enough! It will change your life!

Jon Vroman has truly done something extraordinary with the Front Row Factor! He is the founder of the Front Row Foundation which brings people of all ages with life threatening challenges to the live event of their dreams... in the front row!
From watching those fighting for their life, Jon has learned to live a life filled with meaning, intention, and purpose!
He beautifully captures the essence of what it means to live life in the front row. The stories he shared about recipients is inspiring and heartwarming. We can all learn something magical from this book.

As a listener and fan of Jon's Front Row Factor podcast, I was excited to read this book. Jon relates the lessons he has learned through the efforts of his foundation to provide Front Row moments for medically challenged people. He shares that this experience has done more to teach him how to live each day fully, look for ways to be a memory maker and search daily for Front Row moments in your own life. A quick read that will challenge you to live a more meaningful life.

The book give a great perspective how we should see every moment in life. There are some interesting question suggestions for people who have personal journal. There were a lot of complicated medical terms, which I thought only clustered the whole discussion. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book!

Example presented was good
The one liners used to explain was good
Front row moment maker example is good
But need to clear more check sheet or step to transform the change point in current life

Acabo de terminar de leer The Front Row Factor de Jon Vroman y me pareció más que otra cosa un libro informativo. "The Front Row Factor" es una fundación que recauda dinero para que personas con enfermedades terminales puedan disfrutar de algún show, concierto o evento deportivo que siempre hayan querido estar. En el libro el autor cuenta por qué y cómo inició este proyecto. Quizá este libro pueda servir a las personas que quieren fundar este tipo de empresas sociales. También se compartieron historias de las personas que han sido beneficiadas por la fundación y la verdad es que fue muy difícil para mí leerlas. Considero que no es un libro transformacional sin embargo da ciertos tips para vivir lo que según el autor ha sido una vida con propósito. Cuando termino un libro Amazon me pide que opine y lo califique con estrellas, en este caso le dí tres estrellas porque siento que a mi no me tocó la mente su mensaje.

An easy, light read, but nothing monumental for me. I wanted to like it, but it felt like an advertisement sometimes. Also, it was quite repetitive and stating the obvious (it might not be obvious to everyone I guess). It was a bit juvenile too, and annoyed me sometimes with its message. If you don't know yourself at all, this might give you tips and inspiration, but for someone who is aware of their mind and how it works - this will not give you much.
It is a positive and joyful book though.

Jon captures the spirit and soul of what it means to give AND live a meaningful existence. With moments of AWE and AWEsome generosity and philantropy. I have sincere admiration for Jon's work in the world, and his ability and mission to make magical once in a lifetime moments for others, many in very dire straights. Bless this book, it's messenger and it's mission. A beautifully inspiring read.

Live your olive in the front row!
This book helps to organize thoughts around how to live more productively by being a moment maker. If you have ever thought “there is more to life than this…” then reading this book can help you too. Purpose driven people are happier and more productive, and Jon’s life’s work helps to create a roadmap to navigate life.

Very motivating read. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and after reading this book realized there is absolutely no reason for me to feel sorry for myself when people who have life threatening illnesses are living life to the fullest, "Living in the front row".
