Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent.

I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from

parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

I try to take my family on the road with me whenever I can. We've got a trip plan for Australia

this summer. I'm doing

those talks there. And so that's why I was really excited to hear about the wellness company's

You don't have to wait to see a doctor, and there's no lines at the pharmacy only to learn that they're out of

medicine. Plus, I have like a concierge medical doctor. I can just text them and be like, hey,

essential prescriptions.

Every home should have at least one medical emergency kit,

and you can get 15% off your medical emergency kit at TWC. Dot Health slash Daily Dad and use promo code Daily Dad.
