| 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. |
| 0:14.7 | 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. |
| 0:34.1 | Your kids deserve a better you. One of the hardest parts about being a parent is that if you want to be a good one, you have no choice but to be the kind of person you hope your kids will be. But the problem, you're not that person. Like, none of us are. As we get close to the end of 2021 and to the start of 2022, |
| 0:57.6 | it's a good time, I think, to assess where we are. What flaws, what habits, what patterns are you |
| 1:04.5 | struggling with? What behaviors are you modeling to your kids that you shouldn't be? What potential |
| 1:10.2 | do you have that's sitting unfulfilled? What steps could you take to your kids that you shouldn't be? What potential do you have that's sitting |

| 1:43.1 | wisdom and stoic philosophy, backed by research, |

| 1:50.7 | I think the thing is that every year we talk about how this is going to be the year, |
| 1:54.2 | the year when we become our best, most disciplined, most productive, most resilient, |
| 1:57.7 | most inspiring self, the one where we become the person our children |
| 2:01.2 | deserve. But then here we are, staring down the barrel of another new year, not all that |
| 2:07.7 | different. The idea is how do you make this year, the year you stop talking about it and start |
| 2:13.4 | being about it? And the Daily Stoic New Year, new year challenge was made to help you do that, |
| 2:19.5 | to help take control your time, to quit harmful vices, to be more patient and understanding, |
