The Daily Dad Podcast provides one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent. Ryan Holiday draws these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom and insights from parents just like you all over the world. You've probably seen me in a bunch of the Daily Stowak and Daily Dad videos over the years wearing a blue hat. That hat is made by today's sponsor, Melon. The great physicist Richard Feynman had a father who instilled in his son an interesting perspective about the world.
The great physicist Richard Feynman had a father who instilled his brilliant son with an interesting perspective about the world. Sitting down, he would lay the newspaper out on the table and ask his boy questions about what they saw and read. Once, when they came upon a photo of the Pope blessing a group of believers, Richard’s father asked his son if he knew the difference between the Pope and his followers. And then, before Richard could answer, he said, “The difference is the hat. He is wearing a hat.” His dad would repeat the same exercise whether it was a photo of a general with stars on their collar or a wealthy executive with an expensive suit.
