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.

Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another weekend episode of the Daily Dad podcast. Today, I wanted to bring you two things I think

we're all trying to do. One is how to raise resilient kids, and two, we're going to talk a little bit

about maintaining work-life balance. And in the first part of the episode, we're going to hear

from Dr. Williams, Sticks-Rud, and Ned Johnson on how to raise resilient kids. Absolutely love their book,

The Self-Driven Child. We sell it at the Painted Porch. If you haven't picked it up,

please do pick up a copy. I've interviewed them twice now. Great guys. Their philosophy has very

much influenced my philosophy and thinking as a parent. So we're going to talk about not just their

book, The Self-Driven Child, but also their new book, What Do You Say, How to Talk to Kids to Build

Motivation, Stress, Tolerance, and Happy Home. We're going to talk about experiencing adversity,

how to develop resilience as this pandemic has demanded of all of us, and how we teach kids

to find purpose and control in

their own lives. And then the second part of the episode, you're going to hear me and my friend

coach Shock is Smart talk about how to maintain work life balance. There's almost no one less

balanced than college coaches, professional coaches as well, but college sports coaches.

It's an inherently unbalanced

profession, but so is being a writer, so is being a stockbroker, so as being a school teacher.

These professions demand so much of you. So how do you be great at what you do and find a way

to manage work and family? How to do both of those things well?

It's in some ways impossible, but it's something worth talking about.
