What Matters Most in Life (In Memory of Judge Frank Caprio)

The Mel Robbins Podcast

Monday, 25 August 2025 - 52 minutes

This episode will change both how you see your life – and how you live it.

Today, in honor of Judge Frank Caprio, Mel is sharing this episode on the life lessons and wisdom that most people learn too late. 

This isn’t just a story about a remarkable man – it’s a masterclass in how to live.

Judge Caprio was more than America’s most beloved judge. He was a father, husband, cancer fighter, and a global example of what it looked like to lead with compassion. His courtroom videos have been viewed more than 10 billion times. His kindness made him a viral sensation.

Judge Caprio recently passed away, and this conversation was his last full interview. Today, it is part of the legacy he leaves behind.

In this emotional and deeply inspiring episode, you’ll hear what Judge Caprio learned from 38 years on the bench and how he showed up with courage and gratitude in the face of terminal cancer. It struck a chord with listeners when it was first released, and now serves as a powerful tribute to a truly remarkable man.

Whether you’ve heard this episode before or it’s your first time, Mel invites you to listen to this conversation and to honor Judge Caprio by carrying his wisdom forward. 

If you’ve been struggling to find meaning, clarity, or peace, this conversation is the reset you didn’t know you needed.

The time you spend with the one and only Judge Frank Caprio will not only lift you up; it will remind you of what really matters in life.
