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.

Someone who works for us at Daily Stoke just moved into a new house. Well, not a new house. It was a house that hadn't been occupied in a while, and she immediately started seeing bugs. And luckily, we just got in a shipment of Pesty, so I gave the kit to her, and since she started using it, she hasn't seen any more bugs. Pesty is do-it-your-self pest control. They give you the same products that pros use at a quarter of the cost, and their kit makes it so easy,

and it takes only a few minutes to apply. You know, a contract with a pest control company might

cost as much as $800 a year, but with Pesta, you can get started, is just $35 a treatment

with a customized plan based on your location, bugs, and climate. The kit comes with everything

you need, including a sprayer, mixing bag, pesticides, bugs, and climate. The kit comes with everything you need,

including a sprayer, mixing bag, pesticides, gloves, and instructions, and it all takes less

than 10 minutes. Pesty gets rid of over 100 types of bugs from spiders and ants to roaches

and stink bugs. It's also kid and pet friendly, which is always important to us and our household.

Plus, Pestey offers 100% bug-free

guarantee or your money back. The bugs don't go away. They'll give you a full refund. Now is the

This puts it all in perspective. You've got a kid that won't listen. You've got a marriage that's

falling apart. You've got a stressful job. You've got a kid who keeps getting in trouble at school. You've got a kid that won't listen. You've got a marriage that's falling apart. You've got a stressful job.

You've got a kid who keeps getting in trouble at school. You've got a kid that you're having

trouble connecting with. You've got a neighbor. You hate bills past due and in-laws correcting your

every decision. It's tough to be you. Does anyone have it worse? Does anyone have it harder? Yeah, they do. There are people who have buried a child. It's worth remembering that every day. There are people who have buried a child. As Phoebe Bridgers sings in one of her most haunting songs, funeral.

When we're having a tough time, when we're overwhelmed, when we're mad at the world, when we are starting to suspect that things

couldn't get any worse, it's worth remembering that.
