Be a towering example

Cato, an ancient figure admired by historical figures like George Washington, Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, and Nathan Hale, serves as a powerful example of character, self-discipline, and defense of the Republic. Cato's actions, not words, inspired these great men. As a dad, you are your kids' Cato. They look up to you and model their actions after yours. Your behavior speaks louder than words, so strive to be a towering example.

Be a Towering Example

"One of the most insidious and toxic forces in the world is the belief that some races are naturally better than others, or that one sex is inferior to another. Even if there were some slight biological differences that scientists were eventually able to prove in one domain or another—what exactly would it matter? Not only would every man, woman and race still share far more in common than they did differences, it would have absolutely zero bearing on who the individuals you meet in the course of a day (or a job interview) actually are as people. It shines no light on their potential, their character, their humanity."

And it's a parent's job to show their children just how insidious this belief is—as Ryan explains on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
