It is absurd, this thing called life—this world we live in. Not just that we exist (which is a miracle of miracles), but how everything that does exist works…and works together. The way certain trees lean towards the equator. That whales and birds migrate thousands of miles to return to some exact spot. The way X-rays or antibiotics work…or how a law is passed.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the podcast that the great Guy Raz does for kids, called “Wow in the World.” That title expresses it perfectly! That’s what our job as parents and teachers is: to help them see the “wow” in the world. To help them appreciate and understand the natural “wow” that’s out there and to be inspired by the created “wow”—inventions, ideas, art.

Because we want them to protect the natural “wow” and contribute to the created one. We want them to be curious. We want them to see the meaning and the power in all that’s out there. We want them to be excited and awestruck.

And we want them to believe—to know—that they can contribute to that beauty in life, that beauty in the world. Because they can. And if we, their parents, support them and encourage them, they will.

P.S. Being a great dad isn’t something you figure out once. It’s something you do everyday, without a roadmap, and sometimes without support.

That’s why the Daily Dad Society exists. It’s a community designed for dads who want to be more present, more patient, and more prepared. You’ll find real conversations with dads at every stage, practical wisdom from those who’ve walked this path, and a monthly discussion to bring it all together.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about intention. It’s about showing up, and having people around you who are doing the same.
