January 27, 2021 Keep Your Head Up And Take Another Swing
“No person has a perfect track record. Certainly, no parent does. We all mess up. We all fall short. We get our priorities wrong. We make mistakes. We lose our temper and our patience. We all handle certain situations in ways we wish we hadn’t.”
Ryan discusses why holding onto your past mistakes is a recipe for disaster, and why you should always strive to get better, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

January 26, 2021 Make Your Name Mean Something
“When Cato’s son Marcus fell at the second battle of Philippi in 42 BCE, his final act was to shout his father’s name. When Cato’s daughter Porcia wanted to prove her mettle to the conspirators as they plotted against Caesar, she simply told her husband, ‘I am Cato’s daughter.’”
Ryan explains why you should live the principles and values that you want your children to live up to, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

January 25, 2021 Regular Kids Can Do Great Things
“It is obvious, in retrospect, why some of the towering figures of the 20th century were who they were. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. Even Churchill. They had formative, even horrible childhoods that propelled them to seek power, made them ruthless and cunning, ambitious and even the worst of them, brilliant at times.”
Learn why your kids don’t have to come from painful circumstances to be great, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

January 22, 2021 It’s Not Over For You
“The writer Susan Straight was helping her mother move, when she found an old painting thrown in the trash can. Sensing that this wasn’t something that her mother had bought, she asked her about it. ‘I took a painting class at the YMCA,’ her mother explained. ‘Then I found a book—teach yourself to paint. My mother was an artist. She made beautiful sketches of our garden and our house in Switzerland.’”
Ryan explains the reason why you should continually cultivate your interests and hobbies as a parent, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

January 21, 2021 Don’t Be Mad At Good People
“You’re a patient person. You don’t get road rage. You don’t snap at your employees. You accept apologies when offered. You treat strangers well. Because these are the rules of polite society. Because this is the secret to success in business and life.”
Ryan discusses how proximity affects how you treat people, and why you should learn to control your temper, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

January 20, 2021 Just Be a Fan. Just Be a Fan.
“Maybe your kid is into weird stuff. Maybe their heavy metal band sucks--or their talents as a white MC are almost offensive. Maybe you can’t stand the shows they like, or maybe their dream is an unlikely one at best.”

January 19, 2021 The Struggle With Struggle
“We all know that what we went through in life is what made us who we are. The breakups, the failures, the losses and the mistakes. Some of us grew up poor. Others grew up rich but with absent parents. Others grew up around addiction or dysfunction.”

January 18, 2021 Everything Is Figureoutable, Pt. II
“When Charles Lindbergh was thinking about attempting the first transatlantic flight, he ran into an issue. It wasn’t that he had very little money. It wasn’t that he was a nobody. It wasn’t even that he hadn’t flown more than a few hours in one stop before. It wasn’t even that others who had tried it had died.”
Ryan discusses the one skill that that transcends all others, and why you must show it to your kids, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
