About this episode

“There have been incalculable losses over the last year. The death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic is staggering. The economic devastation is generational. And that is to say nothing of the missed graduations, the lost seasons of youth sports, the time away from the classroom.”

Ryan reminds you that there is still more time to grasp the present moment, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
