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.

You know, for many years, my kids went to an outdoor school, it's a nature school. There's no

classroom. There's no buildings.

They would come home just covered in dirt and mud. They just went to a summer camp version of it,

where they were in the rivers all day, the creeks all day. And one of the things we sent them in

and will continue to send them in this year, even though they're now going to regular school,

are their vese sneakers, which look just like regular sneakers.

They're comfortable and flexible, just like regular sneakers, but they're fully waterproof.

They can handle everything your kids put them through.

They're easy to clean.

They slip on so you don't have to tie them either.

My kids love their vese shoes, but they also make adult shoes with the same waterproof technology and both my wife and I have a pair.

Comfort, waterproof, made for life.

Who decides who gets what? You went to school, you worked hard, you sacrificed.

You got really good at what you do.

And that's what they pay you for, right?

That's why they recruited you.

That's why you're a boss.

It is.
