Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast where we provide one lesson every day to help you

with your most important job being a dad. These are lessons inspired by ancient philosophy,

by practical wisdom, and insights from dads all over the world. Thank you for

listening, and we hope this helps. Are you the good guys? We picked up our political beliefs

somewhere, from books we read, from how we grew up, from

what we've seen in the world. We got started in our industry for so many reasons. Luck,

a natural inclination, because the money seemed good. And now that we're older, now that we've

been doing this thing a while, had these opinions for a while, it's worth stopping to ask a

question, are you sure you're one

of the good guys? Are you sure you're on the right side of this thing? That's what the boy asks in

Kormick-McCarthes, the road. Are we still the good guys? He asks his dad. It's the boy's sweetness,

his insistence on doing the right and kind thing, despite the darkness

of the world that keeps the father from spiraling into cruelty or despair.

Are you the good guys?

Or have you curdled along with your political party?

Have you been corrupted by your industry?

Have you grown calloused and indifferent with all the responsibilities and stresses of life?

Are you too busy worrying about your mortgage or your golf game to care about other people?

Are you too far down the road to change?

To question, to see things from a new perspective.

The good news is that you have a boy like that in your own life.

Your kids are a wonderful source of innocence and purity.
