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. One of my morning rituals is that I take a multivitamin and I give my kids their multivitamins.

And as it happens, my ritual is actually taking ritual, a multivitamin for men that's based solely on science and designed to help fill common nutrient gaps in the diet with 10 key nutrients.

Their scientifically developed multivitamin has high quality ingredients

in clean bioavailable forms. Everything is made traceable because where your nutrients come from

is just as important as what they are. It's vegan-friendly, non-GMO, sugar-free, gluten-free,

and major allergen-free, and their delayed release capsule is designed to help make it gentle on an empty

stomach because I try to fast in the mornings.

Essential for men is a quality multivitamin from a company you can actually trust.

And get this, ritual is offering my listeners 10% off during your first three months.

dedicated enough. But it's important when you start to feel this way that you step back. Don't just

compare yourself to the dads you see around you. That can be dubious and unreliable. Compare yourself

to your own father and his father before him. When Jerry

Seinfeld was on Jimmy Fallon a few years ago, he quipped, you know what my bedtime story was when I was a kid?
