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

I told you about my ritual. I get home from work. I get my kids their vitamins. They run over. I say it's

vitamin time. And then I take two vitamins myself. I take the ritual multivitamin because we deserve to know what we're putting in our bodies and why.
