Summary
In this episode, I sit down with my dad to talk about it all: what it was like raising kids while navigating an intense career, how he protected family time through the busy years, and what he hoped to teach each of his three daughters. We talk about why he never refers to himself as a “girl dad,” his single favorite thing about each of us, and how he and my mom kept their marriage a priority. He also shares why being a grandparent is "all of the fun things" with none of the burden and why he is in the best chapter yet!
Key Takeaway / Points:
The origin story of how he met my mom in high school
His career pivot from psychology to finance
The story behind creating the Amex Black Card
How he and my mom kept their marriage a priority (and hitting their sweet spot in their 60s as empty nesters)
His playbook for maximizing time with your kids during an intense career
Adapting his parenting style to each of his daughters
Grandparenting vs. parenting, and advice for soon-to-be grandpas

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Conversations with Cam. Today's episode is a very special one for me because it's with |
| 0:04.3 | my dad. He came on so long ago pre-video. I'm trying to remember where we recorded that episode. |
| 0:12.6 | I don't know, but I will link it in the show notes. He came on a long time ago. He has not been |
| 0:17.0 | on since. He is a very highly requested guest behind my older sister Maddie just because |
| 0:22.8 | people want to hear from him. We get a lot of Lucy, we get a lot of Cindy. You obviously get a lot of |
| 0:27.0 | me. And we don't get enough of him. Today's episode, we are continuing this family series. |
| 0:33.6 | So we chat about the origin story of how he met my mom, his career journey, which a lot of people |
| 0:38.9 | had questions about navigating an intense and hectic finance job while raising kids, how he doesn't |
| 0:45.3 | really like reference himself as a quote unquote girl dad, his favorite parts about each of his |
| 0:49.9 | daughter and what he loves the most about being a grandparent, which I will say observing him |
| 0:55.2 | is like the best stage of life that he has embarked on as well as my mom. I am shocked at how |
| 1:02.4 | much he can recall around like details and memories of his life because like he's, I say this in |
| 1:07.2 | the episode, but like he's almost 70 and he was, like, pulling these names and, like, |
| 1:11.2 | from his 20s, right? There's zero chance I will be able to do that. This episode is coming out |
| 1:17.7 | right around Father's Day. So happy Father's Day to all the incredible dads out there. |
| 1:23.5 | I don't think we have many dad listeners, but if you send this to your partner, happy Father's |
| 1:29.4 | Day to you. |
| 1:30.6 | All right. |
| 1:31.0 | Here's my conversation with my dad. |
| 1:34.2 | Come on in, take a seat, pour a drink, pass one to me. |
| 1:40.3 | Conversations with camp, top of life, come join the fan. |
| 1:45.0 | Throw away of hesitations, have a filter conversations if you've got an ear to land. |
