| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another weekend episode of the Daily Dad podcast. I have known |
| 0:07.8 | today's guest on the Daily Dad podcast for more than a decade. And when I first read her book, |
| 0:14.3 | Quiet, The Power of Introverts, it just hit me at like a ton of bricks. Like a lot of people, |
