Summary

"There is so much on your plate. So much you have to worry about as a parent... So it’s understandable if you’ve been distracted, and you’ve missed an opportunity here or there to make certain causes—certain longstanding societal injustices—your top priority. But that doesn’t excuse it."

Ryan explains why social ills can't just be ignored on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
