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.

Today's sponsor, Momentus, is driven by the relentless pursuit of helping you achieve performance for life.

It's their guiding light when they're creating effective formulas for athletes and aspiring

athletes alike. And their formulas are developed with a unique emphasis on quality and

ingredients, which is super important. If you're like me and you care about what you put in your body,

if you're looking to improve your performance, you should be looking for the best, and you can feel confident about that with

Momentus. Momentus is a supplement company who's determined to bring trust and transparency to a space

that we all know is lacking in both, and all their formulas are designed with human performance

experts and are NSF and informed sports certified, which provides

a high level of trust to over 200 plus pro sport teams and collegiate customers. Momentus sources

every ingredient for quality, not just what's cheapest, and what's on the label is what you are

getting. This is called the Momentus standard, and it's become synonymous with the industry's gold

standard for quality and efficacy. So what are you waiting for? Head over to livemomentus.com
