Don’t Let Them Dislike Themselves May 21, 2020

Show notes

"One of the more vulnerable moments of Pete Buttigieg’s pioneering campaign for president (as a front-running, openly gay man) came in South Carolina. At a town hall, Mayor Pete talked about what it was like to be young and struggle with this identity, this part of his sexuality. His answer should be read by every father out there."

Pain Is a Part of Life May 19, 2020

Show notes

"Oh how you wish you could make sure they never suffered. Oh how you wish you could have prevented these last couple weeks. You don’t want them to be scared. You don’t want them to hurt. You don’t want them to miss out on anything. To tell them they can’t see their friends. They can’t go to prom. To have to say, as many dads are having to say, 'Sorry, we can’t afford that right now.'

But guess what? That’s not possible."
So what can you do? Learn more in today's Daily Dad Podcast.

This Is Something to Be Glad About May 14, 2020

Show notes

"It can be hard to express your feelings as a father sometimes. Not so much because men are expected to bottle up their emotions, but because the emotions that come with being a dad can be so overwhelming and complex. It’s a rush of a million feelings: love, joy, fear, absurdity, exhaustion, responsibility, motivation, and primal attachment."
How does a dad express his emotions to his loved ones? Listen to today's Daily Dad Podcast episode and find out.

What Is Your Anxiety Doing to Them? May 13, 2020

Show notes

"You’re anxious. You’re stressed. You want them to be safe. You worry about what they’re doing when you’re not there. You worry about their future. You worry they might not get into the school you have your heart set on. You stress over their friend who might be a bad influence. You stress about the cars zooming by your house. You’re nervous about COVID-19 and climate change and global unrest and everything else on the news. You don’t want anything bad to happen—to them, to you, to anyone. In the tunnel vision of your anxiety, these things are all you can think about. "
That anxiety doesn't come without its own negative side effects, as Ryan details in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.

Help Them Become Who They Are May 12, 2020

Show notes

"Bruce Springsteen has three children: Evan, Jessica, and Sam. One of them is an Olympic-level equestrian (which can not have been a cheap or easy interest to encourage, nor always a fun one to watch). His son, Sam, recently became a New Jersey firefighter (a scary thought for any parent). Clearly, Bruce and his wife Patti have figured out how to help their children become who they are, and to realize their potential. "

Don’t Let Your Kids Be Worse May 11, 2020

Show notes

"Arthur MacArthur was a vain and conceited man. He was a war hero at age 18 at the Battle of Missionary Ridge. From there he went on to become a colonel, then a major, then lieutenant colonel, and then held several other prestigious military positions. He was notoriously self-absorbed and ambitious. As one former aide would say, Arthur was the 'most flamboyantly egotistical man I had ever seen.'"

Yet MacArthur's excessive ego was exceeded by one other person's. Find out who in today's Daily Dad Podcast.
