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'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.

is in their multivitamin. Some of them have weird stuff, sugars,

multivitamin. It's got a clean, vegan-friendly formula made with key nutrients and forms your body

can actually use without any weird extras. Ritual is formulated with key nutrients, including vitamin D3,

to help fill gaps in the diet, and their fresh, lasting, delayed release capsules dissolve

later, so you can take them with or without food. Ritual multivitamins are delivered to your

door every month with free shipping always, and you can start, snooze or cancel your subscription

anytime. And if you don't love ritual within the first month, they'll refund your first order.

Everybody deserves to know what's in your multivitamin, including you.

And that's why Ritual is offering you, our listeners, 10% off during your first three months.
