Episode notes

This chapter emphasizes the importance of fathers recognizing and working on their flaws to prevent their children from inheriting those same flaws. Using the example of Arthur MacArthur and General Douglas MacArthur, it highlights that being a father is an opportunity to start anew and improve oneself for the benefit of their children.

"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.
