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.

Bespoke Post. I got this really cool hatchet from them in one of their kits.

Bespoke Post is just a wonderful way to get awesome stuff delivered to your door with what they

call.
