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.

sure you're taking care of yourself, that you're on top of it. So things aren't slipping,

so you're not falling into bad habits. You're holding yourself accountable. There's a bunch of

you should give better help a try. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient,

licensed therapist. You can switch at any time for no additional charge. Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp.
