| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:14.9 | I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from |
| 0:23.4 | parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps. |
| 0:31.7 | Mother's Day is right around the corner, and it's always hard to come up with gifts. I know I have |
| 0:36.1 | bungled it many times in the past, and I was talking about it with my kids. What are we going to get mom? I suggested we do |
| 0:41.7 | Storyworth. She has all these stories. She had this whole life before I met her before we had kids |
| 0:47.2 | and you want to memorialize that somewhere. You want to collect it somewhere. Basically, |
| 0:51.5 | each week Storyworth emails you a question, a memory-provoking question |
| 0:55.9 | that you all get to help pick, and then they respond to that email with a story long or short. |
| 1:00.6 | It doesn't matter. And then after a year of fun, Storyworth compiles your loved one's stories and |
| 1:05.8 | photos into a beautiful keepsake hardcover book that you can share and revisit for generations |

| 1:11.7 | As I said, we've been giving Storyworth as a gift in our family for years. |
| 1:15.3 | The final product is just awesome. |
