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.

I've talked about my running routine a million times and how it is integrated into my parenting routine.

I take the kids for a walk or run in the morning.

We do a walk or run in the afternoon as well.

I tend to wear running clothes throughout the day.

And that's why I love 10,000.

I've been wearing their interval short,

their versatile shirt. I can't recommend this stuff enough. Lance Armstrong was just telling me they have

an awesome sweatshirt, which I'm waiting to arrive as well. I just, I just love 10,000 stuff.

10,000 makes the highest quality, best fitting, and most comfortable training shorts I've ever worn. Their interval short is the most popular one. I like it. You can wear it in the gym.

responsibilities. So many people depend on you, which is precisely

why you have to be careful not to send your kids the wrong message.

The author Donald Miller observed the couple of ways in which our kids might interpret all

of our hard work.

He writes, I've built an office behind our house and someday my daughter will look at it and think,

that's where my dad worked hard to provide for us and feel a little sentimental.

What I never hope she thinks, he says, is that that's the place that my dad loved more than me.

Love is our only legacy that matters. Let's not point our love in the wrong direction.

Our only real legacy is that which we leave inside the lives we brought into this world.
