Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast. During the week, we bring you a daily meditation of the best parenting wisdom we can find drawing on history and philosophy and psychology and literature to inspire you to be a little bit better at the most important job you have.

And then on the weekends, I have sort of a wrap-up conversation with my friend, fellow dad, and

writing partner, Niels Parker.

We just explore what's going on in our lives, what we're struggling with as parents, what

we're doing well, what we want to do better, and what we've learned along the way, and what

we've learned in the last, and what we've learned

in the last week.

So let's go.

One of the weird rituals I've told you about in my life is I walk every morning with my kids

all the way to the end of the dirt road that we live on. We open the mail.

We just got these new sort of steel mailboxes. And you use your key, you open your mailbox,

and then I have another key. That's where your packages are. My kids are always so excited

whenever I get a package. Well, the curators at Bespoke Post have done it again. A package

we're excited to get when it comes each month.

Every month they send an essential box of awesome collections for guys that are guaranteed to upgrade your life.

Each month, Box of Awesome, sends you a collection of cool stuff that suits whatever interests you.

Huge amount of collections, no matter what you're interested in,

great outdoors. That's the one I signed up for, style, cooking, mixology, and more. To get started,

you take a quiz at boxofawson.com. Your answers help them pick the right box of awesome for you,

and each month they release the new boxes across a ton of different categories. The price is great.

It's free to sign up.

Each box costs $45 that has close to double that every month and highly curated gear inside.
