0:00.0	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.
0:14.9	I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from
0:23.4	parents just like you all over the world. Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.
0:31.3	I'm out with my wife's family in California, and it's my kids and nieces and nephews, just a lot of kids, all the adults are
0:39.7	talking, how do we keep them busy? But one of the things we gave them is a Kiwi Kit. I've been a
0:44.1	subscriber to KiwiCo's kits for many years since we started the Daily Dad podcast. So we threw one in
0:50.7	the suitcase and brought it, and they have been going crazy about it.
0:55.0	And there's actually a new summer adventure series that Kiwiko is doing.
0:59.6	It's six hands-on project kits over six weeks.
1:03.9	Stuff that keeps them busy in the summer, keeps them stimulated in the summer, keeps them learning, doing science and art.
1:12.8	It's just awesome. And they work for kids as young as two and as old as their teen years. As I said, we've been getting KiwiCo kits for a long

1:23.0	coming back. We play with the stuff they've made. We put some of it up on the wall. It's been great, and if you want to build the best summer ever, you should sign up for KiwiCo.
1:31.9	You get $15 off your summer adventure series right now at kiwico.com slash daily dad.
1:36.9	That's $15 off your summer adventure at KIWICO.com slash Daily Dad.
1:50.3	Thank you. WICO.com slash daily dad. You don't know until you know. You can imagine it. You can see it happen to other people.
1:56.0	You can read about it, hear about it, see it captured in great works of art.
2:02.9	But until you experience it for yourself, you can't truly understand it. We've been talking recently about Lynn Manuel Miranda's
2:08.6	song from Hamilton, Dear Theodosia. This is the chunk we've been talking about because it so
2:13.8	perfectly captures what it means to be apparent.
2:20.8	Pride is not the word I'm looking for.
2:24.9	There is so much more inside me now.
