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 was very excited when this came in the mail, not just as an investor, but as a fan of Magic Spoon cereal, which I have eaten so many boxes of over the years.

They just rolled out these new cereal bars, which you can check out.

And there's a cookies and cream one.

And when I got them, the first thing, not only did I eat one and my kids eat one, but then we had to save some for my father-in-law who also loves Magic Spoon. You know, when you were a kid, you loved eating sugary cereal, and you knew it probably wasn't good for you when it was called something like Cookie Crisp, or it had a picture of your favorite candy bar on it. I wouldn't give my kids that stuff today, but I do give

them MagicSpoon because Healthy Breakfast doesn't have to be boring. MagicSpoon has amazing flavors

you'll love, they'll love without the bad stuff. You can go to MagicSpoon.com slash Daily Dad

to grab a custom bundle of cereal and be sure to use our promo code Daily Dad at checkout to save

five bucks off your order. And MagicSpoon is so confident in their product, it's backed with 100% happiness guarantee. If you don't like it for any reason, they'll refund your money. No questions asked. Remember to get your next delicious bowl of guilt-free cereal at MagicSpoon.com slash Daily Dad. Use the promo code Daily Dad to save five bucks off and try these cereal bars, man.

They're really good.

Thank you to Magic Spoon for sending them to me and for sponsoring this episode.

They do most of it.

When the comedian Pete Holmes heard that Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of

arrested development, had two daughters who were both in their 20s, he congratulated him. You did it,

he said, acknowledging that his friend had made it through the gauntlet, successfully raising two daughters

to adulthood. But Hurwitz refused to take the compliment. You know, they did most of it, he joked.

Which is true.

As we've said before, while being a parent is incredibly important, we're not nearly as important

as we think we are.

Our kids are doing most of the work.
