Turning down MLS. Walking away from an SMU scholarship. A trial at Bayern. Jay and Carey Cappis share how Christian Cappis bet on development — and won.In Part 2 of this conversation, the Cappis family walks Ian Babcock through Christian's player pathway from club soccer in Houston to the professional game in Europe: captaining a national-champion FC Dallas Academy side, youth national team call-ups, an MLS rights battle between Houston and Dallas, and the decision to start at the bottom of the Danish Superliga instead — because development beats badges, free boots, and even bigger money.Jay and Carey get honest about the hard parenting moments too: letting go when Christian moved to Dallas his senior year, the summer he came home with no prospects while his friends left for college, and the day he was deported from Denmark over a paperwork mistake. It ends with the advice every soccer parent needs to hear: it's their journey, professional soccer is a business, and your job is to support with eyes wide open.Key Talking PointsWhy Christian turned down bigger clubs — he scouted their recruiting versus their developing and knew where he wouldn't growFree boots, kits, and warmups are enticements, not development — how the family saw through the sales pitch“In charge from day one”: making his own decisions from a YMCA rejection at age two and a half through every club choice afterPlaying up with older kids, scoring the winning goal against the Texans, and how one bold team choice opened the next doorLetting go: the senior-year move to FC Dallas Academy — and living like a pro (groceries, laundry, driving to work) before ever signingYouth national team life: “Hey Dad, I'm going to Spain today”The MLS rights battle between Houston and Dallas — and why Christian took his chances in Denmark insteadWalking away from the SMU scholarship, the Bayern trial that almost happened, and the quiet summer where Christian never doubtedDeported from Denmark with 24 hours to leave — the life education no classroom offersPlayer identity beyond soccer: marriage, cooking with a Michelin chef, and advice for parents — it's their journey, and pro soccer is a businessQuotes from the Guests“He's been in charge from day one.” — Jay Cappis“Everybody wants you until they see you.” — Jay Cappis“Your choice, your responsibility, your consequences — all the way across the board.” — Jay Cappis“He could basically tell you, ‘I will not develop there. They're great at recruiting the top players, but they're not great at developing them.'” — Jay Cappis“He very calmly just kinda looks at me, and he's like, ‘It's okay. Don't worry. We got this.' He never doubted.” — Carey Cappis“You have a finite shelf life as an athlete... You can go back to college anytime.” — Jay Cappis“You're on a journey with that child. It is not your journey. That is theirs to live.” — Jay Cappis“Professional athletics is a business... They will do what's best for the club, and if that means it's not good for you, that is not their problem.” — Jay Cappis“We never really set out with the goal of getting a college scholarship or even the goal of him being pro... it was more of just, well, what's next?” — Carey Cappis“I'm not so much proud as I am pleased. He had a vision of what he wanted to do, and he pursued it.” — Jay CappisConnect with the Cappis Family

Send us a textSo as you said, my name's Rob Finley. I am a father of four young adults, but my other day job is I'm also an entrepreneur. run commercial real estate technology and other businesses.Yeah, the book is actually Hey Dad. Okay. And it's everything you should have learned but didn't as you start your adulting life. It was actually started and the idea came because imagine this middle of the night, you get a call. And for me as an adult and having a parent of four kids, getting a call in the midnight and in middle of the night is always something that's terrifying. And so I get this call, pick up the phone, my heart's panicked.freaking out. What's wrong? And it's Hey, dad, I'm at the gas station. Can I put the green gas in my Jeep? I'm like, what? First of all, have to, I have to, have to decompress quite a bit. Right. And I'm like, what do mean? Great. Right. She was asking if she could put diesel in her her gasoline vehicle. And at that point, I was like, Oh, my gosh, did I not teach my kids anything?And then talking to other adults, they came up with the same thing and they said, yeah, you know what, my kid's doing this. I get calls like this. And then my wife finally said, you know what, you're getting bombarded with these calls. And we talked to other parents. said, you enjoy writing books. Why don't you write a book on all the stuff that they should have learned? And so that's what became the subject matter. And so I spent the last year or so writing the book, but more importantly, it wasn't just me. I actually went out.and sought the expertise of 30 experts in everything from people who run the JP Morgan Chase Bank for family banking, tax experts, clinical psychologists, cleaning experts. interviewed a NASCAR race car driver and his crew chief on how to maintain a car. So everything in between to give young adults the foundation that they need, sort of a guideline and a guidebook.Want to be a guest on ABCs of Parenting Adult Children?

What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'? By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/Host, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast So, I'm riding shotgun with my teenage son who some of you have met, Matthew, riding through Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan (yes, that's a real place in Canada—not a children's book or a lumberjack's nickname). We're up there visiting family when suddenly, Matthew blurts out: “Hey Dad! Look—Tim Hortons!” You'd think he'd spotted Bigfoot holding a maple donut. Now, we live in the southeastern U.S.—where Tim Hortons isn't exactly on every corner like it is up north (oddly enough though, they just opened one of two here in Suwanee, GA and Columbus, GA -- so lucky us!). Around here however, it's all Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme and Waffle House. But to us? Tim Hortons is like spotting a unicorn running a drive-thru window. Which is precisely the point! This, my friends, is called 'scarcity marketing.' Scarcity marketing is when something becomes more desirable simply because it's rare, hard to get, or only available some of the time. Ever had Duck Donuts? Those of you who know, you know, right!? It's psychology. It's strategy. It's genius—and yet, most physicians and practice administrators in healthcare don't use it. Let's bring it back to your work more specifically in concierge medicine. Scarcity is sort of baked into the concierge medicine model isn't it? After all, most concierge doctors cap their patient panel. Their not located everywhere and heck, sometimes the doctor only takes on only 500 patients a year. You're not walking into that kind of practice on a whim with your phone in one had and WebMD printout in the other. But here's where it gets tricky: Post-COVID, patients discovered this magical thing called options. Telehealth exploded. Everyone became a semi-professional medical researcher on Instagram and TikTok. Suddenly, your patients didn't need to be within 10 miles to “see” a doctor. And now that we've entered the golden age of medical TikToks and YouTube health webinar gurus, even your great aunt knows how to self-diagnose using AI. The result? Patients are more informed, but not necessarily more connected. That's where you and your concierge practice come in and have the advantage. Sure, while accessibility is great, it's created a weird paradox. The more available something is, the less valuable it feels. Just ask Blockbuster how that went. On top of that, many low-cost primary care and "affordable" (think sub $99/pmpm) subscription-based practices still haven't fully bounced back from their pre-pandemic rhythm. Why? Because “urgent care is just easier,” or so they've been told. It's the fast-food equivalent of healthcare—convenient, but not memorable, right? Even still today, some medical practices have dropped their prices in hopes of attracting more patients. But marketing by being “the cheapest” (oops, sorry, most affordable) often becomes a race to the bottom. Spoiler alert: there's not a trophy at the bottom -- maybe just some warm fuzzies though! One industry expert we interviewed and spoke to recently (eg. summer 2025) said "You can't market “time,” “access,” or “care coordination” as part of your cash-based model. Those terms are legally sensitive under Medicare/OIG guidance and the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. What you can market — and what works — are routine exams and communications that are clearly defined and compliant.When structured properly, these can be part of a concierge-style offering without stepping over legal lines. And remember, most if not all of those published price versions of cash healthcare are not structuring their fees/services to allow for employer/tax-advantaged funding, and perhaps their lower prices are unintentionally reflecting that. Pre-tax and employer funding options allow for higher prices points, and can be used to provide versions of this care with 100% employer funding—that can enable more folks to benefit from this care model.” (Eischen; 2025) Bottom line of what he's saying is: You don't have to water down your value — just market it the right way. Stay away from vague “access” claims and focus on tangible, documentable services. His best advice, work with legal counsel specifically familiar with this space to keep your messaging clean and compliant. You can find a list of those resources at the 2025 Concierge Medicine Forum, October 16–18, 2025 in Atlanta, GA USA or in the Business Center Section of our web site found here. So what does work? Connection. Community. Belonging. Remember what the U.S. Surgeon General said not long ago? The fastest-growing health issue in America isn't cancer or heart disease. It's loneliness. Yep, good old-fashioned no-one-to-call-at-midnight loneliness. And get this—it's reportedly as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day! So now imagine you're a concierge doctor, and instead of just offering same-day appointments, you're offering connection. Patients want to feel like someone cares—like someone is on their team. And if your practice can deliver that? You're not just healthcare. You're a lifeline! For example, that's why medical practices leaning into longevity medicine are seeing a new kind of traction. Patients aren't just looking for a quick fix. They want a partner for the long haul—someone who's going to help them stay well into their 90s (with their original knees, preferably). Here's another example. Scarcity marketing is not unlike Harley-Davidson. Bear with me. I know we've moved from donuts to motorcycles, but stay with me for another minute. Harley-Davidson isn't just selling bikes. They're selling identity, loyalty, and a tight-knit community. People literally tattoo the brand on their bodies. They created H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) to foster community. Similar to what Concierge Medicine Today has done with its FOR Doctors message. It's Harley's way of saying, “You're in the club. You belong.” And it works. That's scarcity marketing at its finest: “Not everyone gets to be a part of this. But you do!” It's not exclusive though. There's a difference. Don't confuse the two which is often why concierge medicine gets the side eye in some circles. Now ask yourself: What if your medical practice operated with the same mindset? What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'? What if instead of chasing volume, you created value—and made people (i.e. patients!) work just a little to be part of something special and personal? That's the future of patient relationships, longevity and concierge medicine I think intersect. And yes, we'll be diving into this and more at our upcoming 2025 Concierge Medicine Forum, October 16–18, 2025 in Atlanta. It's the Tim Hortons of medical conferences—rare, warm, slightly addictive, and worth the trip! In the meantime, don't just market with more noise. Market with meaning. Don't aim to be everywhere. Aim to matter somewhere. So again I ask … What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin'?

Rob Finlay is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and commercial real estate investor who has built and sold four companies and started over 15 ventures. As a father of four, sought-after speaker, and mentor, Rob is known for his forward-thinking solutions, strategic insights, and dedication to education. His latest book, Hey Dad: Everything You Should Have Learned But Didn't, hit the WSJ bestseller list in its first week. Rob's journey is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and building businesses that solve real problems. On this episode we talk about: – Rob's first entrepreneurial leap—mortgaging everything at 29 to start his first company while supporting a young family – The emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, from failures to the surprising challenges of a successful exit – Why “passive income” is often a myth and the real work required to build and sustain a business – The difference between true entrepreneurs and “wantrepreneurs”—and why sweat equity beats throwing money at problems – How Rob built multiple businesses by focusing on a single niche (commercial real estate) and evolving solutions for the same customer base – The power of prioritization, constraint, and solving your own problems as a founder – Trends and opportunities in commercial real estate, especially in the current high-interest rate environment – The two levers for making money in real estate: optimizing the asset and mastering the debt – Why Rob wrote Hey Dad, the lessons he wants to pass on to his kids, and the surprising overlap between business and parenting – The realities of traditional publishing, book marketing, and why writing a book is more about impact than income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Solve Real Problems in a Niche: Sustainable success comes from deeply understanding your customer and evolving your solutions as their needs change—not chasing every new trend. 2. Sweat Equity Beats Easy Money: Throwing money at problems rarely works; the real magic happens when you're forced to get creative and build systems from the ground up. 3. Legacy is More Than Money: The lessons you pass on—about resilience, networking, and being a good human—matter as much as financial success. Notable Quotes – “Your business is what defines you. When you sell it, you have to redefine yourself—and that's a whole new challenge.” – “Passive income is a pipe dream for most people. The real work is in building the business, not just throwing money at it.” – “If you're not going to do a good job—if you don't really care—find something else. Don't just write a book to write a book.” Connect with Rob Finlay: – Website: robfinlay.com – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robjfinlay/

Robert Finlay, author of Hey Dad, shares essential strategies on how parents can equip teens with crucial adulting skills, covering money management, networking, handling emergencies, and building independence.Full Show NotesDo your teens sometimes shock you with questions you assumed they already knew the answer to? Maybe they call in the middle of the night wondering how to fill gas in their car or whether they can use the mysterious "green gas." These “Hey Dad” (or "Hey Mom") calls are more than just amusing anecdotes—they highlight a gap we're all trying to fill as parents: how do we ensure our teenagers really understand the requirements of adulting before they leave the nest?Most parents worry whether they have properly prepared their kids for adulthood, for those surprising (and inevitable!) real-world circumstances. But with teens constantly occupied by schoolwork, sports, friends, and the digital world, how can we efficiently—and effectively—pass along the essential skills needed to confidently step into adulthood?Our guest this week, Rob Finlay, found himself pondering the same question after repeated "Hey Dad" calls from his four kids. Inspired by these moments—and a particularly memorable call from his daughter asking about gas options—Rob set out to gather the necessary knowledge teens needed. After collecting advice and insight from over 30 experts ranging from finance executives to medical specialists and seasoned first responders, Rob compiled Hey Dad: Everything You Should Have Learned About Life But Didn't, a hands-on guide to navigating early adulthood.In our conversation, Rob shares practical tips and hilarious stories to help parents bridge life-skill gaps with their teens. We discuss how to approach money management, prepare kids for career uncertainties, teach networking fundamentals and handle emergencies without panic, and ultimately shift those seemingly trivial late-night phone calls into moments that reflect growth and independence.The Power (and Peril) of Teen MoneyMany parents know the frustration of seeing their teen disregard financial advice, only to later scramble when reality hits. Rob stresses that simply "lecturing" teens about finances rarely sticks—instead, he recommends leveraging conversations about actual real-world consequences. Rob illustrates how introducing basic concepts with compelling scenarios can make money feel relevant to teens. Whether exploring the benefits of good credit scores or the hidden costs of overdrafts, making finances meaningful prepares teens better than abstract and dry instructions ever could.Rob also discusses the power of "compounding" beyond just a financial context, underscoring how even small, consistent actions build substantial results over time—not just in savings, but also in relationships, networking, and personal habits.Networking for Young AdultsEver heard your teen wishfully mention becoming a digital influencer or shrug off job opportunities because it doesn't align with their unclear plan for the future? Rob emphasizes the reality that connections matter profoundly when seeking employment opportunities. He encourages parents to expose teens to situations outside their peer groups and comfort zones—from attending family business dinners to encouraging brief informational interviews with professionals in fields of interest.Rob reminds us that teens are more respected and supported by adults than they realize. Teaching teens to leverage LinkedIn or encouraging them to reach out for career advice fosters self-confidence, creates diverse connections, and transforms the job market from a daunting challenge to a network-driven opportunity."Real World" Readiness and Handling EmergenciesEvery parent dreads the thought that their teen will one day encounter an emergency situation. But as Rob shares, there are essential skills every young adult should know, from handling first-aid emergencies all the way through troubleshooting car issues when stranded late at night.Incorporating expert insights from professional first responders, Rob advises parents on walking teens through emergency preparedness so they can remain calm and in control when it matters the most. After all, adulting skills also go beyond financial independence—they mean knowing how to stay calm when things inevitably don't go as planned.Embracing the JourneyAbove all, Rob emphasizes preparing teens not just for immediate independence but for flexible, resilient, lifelong growth. He illustrates how important it is for teens to accept uncertainty and potential failure not as setbacks, but as essential parts of the journey. By modeling and teaching these attitudes, Rob believes we can elevate those unforgettable phone calls from anxious dependency into mature, genuine moments of bonding and learning.In The Episode…Rob's insights offer practical solutions to parents seeking to empower their teens for real-world readiness. In addition to these core topics, we explore:Why it's essential to let teens fail (and why failure can be productive)How to help teens realize the real benefits behind college decisionsWays to shift from "giving answers" to mastering the art of guiding teens resourcefullyHow adulting skill-building can extend even to occupying oneself on a quiet night at homeRob Finlay's practical wisdom and instructive energy make this episode indispensable listening for every parent who wants to transform their teen's uncertainty into confident independence. The next time your teen calls around midnight, you'll not only know how to handle the call—you'll welcome the growth behind it. Tune in for more, and don't forget to subscribe!

In this enlightening episode, we welcome Rob Finlay, author of "Hey Dad," as he shares invaluable insights into the jarring transition from dependence to independence that many young adults—and their parents—experience.

Trades are an accepted part of hockey business. Recently, Utica Comets GM Dan MacKinnon caught the attention of many pulling off a deal which involved moving his own son to playoff-contending Cleveland. While unique, it's actually happened before and, on the NHL level, no less. The player involved is one who Neil later acquired in New York after this noteworthy trade from Colorado to Los Angeles.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL#DanMacKinnon #WillMacKinnon #UticaComets #NewJerseyDevils #ClevelandMonsters #ColumbusBlueJackets #WashingtonCapitals #LesterPatrick #LynnPatrick #MuzzPatrick #EricLacroix #PierreLacroix #ColoradoAvalanche #LosAngelesKings #UniversityofNewHampshire
The Mystic Whale Lives ~ And so do we ~ Eternally It is with relentless grace that I offer this book, my life's journey. It has taken me eleven years to write it, through great gulps of tears and loneliness, abject refusals to compromise my privacy, as well as casting the whole deal aside for long periods of time. Never mind the lack of funds or housing which made my journey even more interesting and heartbreaking. And then pure joyful miracles throughout, showing me that this was indeed my path ~ and God was waiting. When my father struggles with his own dying, I try to talk with him about eternal life. I tell him, “Hey Dad, you know we really don't die, right?” He replies, “How the hell would you know, you been over there lately?” Oh my God, he said the funniest things. And yes, as a matter of fact, I find myself working with “the other side” all the time ~ and that I have come to know who I am through my faith and healing abilities given to me. I believe that all divine humans have come to planet station earth to remember our universal contract and that we agreed to this difficult, seemingly impossible mission, because we have done this before. We have brought the power with us ~ the power to kill and the power to heal. But we have forgotten so much, our thoughts buried under that sinful blanket woven through centuries of violence, destruction and guilt. Thrown on top of us to smother our stardust souls, we have little time left to find the truth of our divine inheritance. We should already be living in our own great love story, imagining and creating wonderful things together. Gifted with the freedom of choice, we gather our celestial intelligence and close that gap of separation, returning to our spiritual home base, our true God~Selves. This is our dream ship now ~ our eternal lightship of love. Welcome Aboard! Publishing this Spring, 2025 "Amazing Grace" by Steven Halpern www.innerpeacemusic.com
