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.

This podcast is sponsored by Zbiotics pre-alcohol, your first drink of the night for a better tomorrow.

Engineered by a team of Ph.D. microbiologist, pre-alcohol is a pre-biotic drink that breaks down

the byproduct of alcohol, which is responsible for those rough days or rough mornings after

drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a

toxic byproduct in the gut. And it's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, as most

people think. That's to blame for those rough mornings and rough days after drinking. And pre-alcohol

produces an enzyme that helps break this byproduct down. Just remember to take pre-alcohol

your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel better tomorrow. The final days of

summer are here to enjoy, whether you're at the beach, camping in the woods, or squeezing in one

last trip. Don't forget to bring Z-biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink. Drink a pre-alcohol before

drinking and enjoy every day of summer to the fullest. And just go to zbiotics.com slash daily
