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.

Look, one of the most important decisions I ever made in my life was the decision to spend

not a small amount of money. I think it was

$6 or $7,000 on the domain,dailystoic.com. And that kicked off this whole media company.

It kicked off the email list and the podcast and the sales of the books. All this stuff

happened because I decided to go all in on making a great website. This is where today's

sponsor comes in. Squarespace is the all-in-one website platform for entrepreneurs to stand out and

Here's the joy. Your life is hard. You have work. You have your marriage. You have your health.

You have all these responsibilities to manage and so little time to manage them.

And plus, there's the fact that the world is falling apart.

People suck.

Life is challenging.

You are tired.

Welcome to being a parent.

So how are we supposed to find joy in all this?
