Be Something and Somebody

Daily Dad
About this episode

“E.H Harriman was a hell of a businessman and, as we’ve talked about before, a surprisingly good father. He had a reputation as a rapacious industrialist, but at home he was tender and engaged with his kids. He was patient and instilled in them good values.”

Ryan discusses why you should set high expectations for your children, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
