My Dad on Raising Three Girls, His Career, & Why Grandparenting Is the Best
About this episode
Cameron Oaks Rogers interviews her dad about parenting, career challenges, and the joys of grandparenting.
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 Follow me: Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers Substack: Fill Your Cup Website: cameronoaksrogers.com TikTok: @cameronoaksrogers YouTube: Cameron Rogers
