Episode notes

The speaker reflects on the difficulties of being a father, sharing a personal anecdote about Chesty Puller and his daughter's tonsil surgery. They emphasize that parenting demands great sacrifice and vulnerability, but also brings immense love and strength.

"Chesty Puller saw some stuff. He fought in the Banana Wars. He fought in guerilla wars. He took islands in the Pacific during WWII. He fought in Korea.

So you might think that he’d be able to handle just about anything life threw at him. But like you, he was a father, and he found that it was just about the hardest thing a person can ever do."

Ryan tells a story about Chesty as a father, and explains what it means for all of us parents, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
