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.

A couple of years ago, I got this for my father, my wife's given it to me, and it happens to

also be today's sponsor, Storyworth. you're spending time with loved ones for the holidays. Chances are you're going to hear a bunch of stories, but it can be hard to remember. You'll lose track of them. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could preserve them, capture them forever? And that's where Storyworth comes in. It makes it fun and easy. Each week StoryWorth emails your

loved one of thought-provoking question that you get to help pick. They respond to that email with a

story. They can attach photos. They can include all sorts of stuff. And then that gets compiled at the

end of the year into this amazing keepsake book. Help your family members share and capture their

stories this holiday season with

You've got to expose them. You've got to expose them to all the possibilities. All of our

worlds are smaller than we'd like to think. We spend time with people like us. We stick with the

beliefs we've always had. We do the things we've always done. As we said recently, without awareness,

there is no choice. How can our kids choose the life they want if all they've seen is our life?
