| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Dad podcast, where on the weekends, we do a deeper dive and how to get better at our most important job, being a parent. |
| 0:12.6 | Sometimes in these episodes, I talk to bestselling authors and elite performers and other guests. |
| 0:17.7 | But lately, I've also been having conversations with my wife, Samantha, the co-parent of my two boys. |
| 0:23.5 | We do it over in the Daily Stoic studio here in Bastrop, Texas. She and I talk about things that |
| 0:29.2 | we're working on as parents, things that we're working on as people, and how we are supporting |
| 0:35.8 | each other, challenging each other, and like I said, trying to get better |
| 0:40.6 | at what we do. Guest or not, I hope you hear some ideas here that will help make you a better |
| 0:46.6 | parent. I was better for having the conversation. I hope you enjoy. |

| 1:52.0 | I thought it was a great episode. |
| 1:53.0 | So I wanted to bring you that chunk. |
| 1:54.1 | You can connect with her on Twitter at Katie underscore Milkman on Instagram at Katie Milkman. |
| 1:59.4 | Check out her amazing book, How to Change. I'll link to the |
| 2:02.0 | whole interview over on Daily Stoic. But in the meantime, here's a chunk of her and I talking about |
