The Kinds of Stories To Tell Them

Daily Dad
About this episode

“It was a dark time. The world was falling apart. School was a distant memory. All they had was time. Is this your life? Or is it the plot of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road?

Ryan explains why you should expose your kids to inspiring and entertaining stories that instill values in them, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.

The Boy Who Would Be King is out now, written by Ryan Holiday in the depths of the pandemic (not unlike the one Marcus ruled through), this new beautifully crafted book is available now. Go to dailystoic.com/king to order now and you’ll automatically get the free audiobook.
