Summary
"So much has happened and so much now remains uncertain. Do we go back to work? Do we let the kids go to the park? Do we stay inside? Do we start homeschooling?
A pandemic raises questions. It explodes the status quo. Suddenly everything seems in flux. Suddenly our foundation has been shaken."
Ryan describes how this pandemic, although unique, is not unlike situations that our predecessors have dealt with in the past, and how we can use their actions as a guide, in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

| 0:14.3 | important job being a dad. These are lessons inspired by ancient philosophy, by practical |
| 0:20.3 | wisdom, and insights from dads all over the world. |
| 0:24.5 | Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps. |
| 0:33.1 | What do we do in times like these? So much has happened, and so much now remains uncertain. Do we go back to work? Do we let them go to the park? Do we stay inside? Do we start homeschooling? A pandemic raises questions. It explodes the status quo. Suddenly everything seems in flux. Suddenly all our foundations have been shaken. But it's worth noting today that our |
| 0:56.2 | fundamental job as fathers has not changed. What do we do in times like these? What do we do about |
| 1:01.8 | this or that? How do we respond to this or that? The answer is simple, though not easy. We must do |
| 1:08.5 | what is necessary to provide, to keep them safe, to make them feel loved, |

| 1:32.5 | what does that say? |
| 1:34.2 | In hard times, fathers must step up. |

| 1:42.7 | We will do what we were born to do, and we will do it well, and we will do it without |
| 1:47.7 | complaint. |
