What does it actually look like to rebuild your life after everything falls apart?Rob Capili has lived through it. Divorce, career pivots, identity shifts, and the long process of starting over while still showing up as a father. His path has never been linear. From tech to filmmaking to music to entrepreneurship, he has followed curiosity, taken risks, and learned the hard way what matters and what doesn’t.But some of his most important lessons didn't come from success. They came from failure, from relationships that didn't work, and from the responsibility of raising kids through difficult transitions.This conversation is raw, honest, and grounded in real experience. Especially for working dads trying to navigate fatherhood, work life balance, and the pressure to get it right while figuring it out in real time.Rob shares how to:Rebuild your identity and direction after divorceBalance honesty with protecting your children during difficult seasonsLet go of perfection and focus on being present as a parentGive kids the space to make their own decisions while still guiding themShift from outcome-based thinking to focusing on effort and processRecognize what you will and will not tolerate in relationships moving forwardUse failure, setbacks, and painful experiences as fuel for growthFollow curiosity and creativity while still carrying real responsibilityRob’s perspective is direct, thoughtful, and often unexpectedly funny.
