Daily Dad = Daily Listen

So glad that this podcast is here for us all now. I listen and read daily. Thank you for all your hard work!

I like this format but…

As a dad this content is great. I also love the mini length episodes focused on one lesson. The downside with the short length is Ryan has the intro outro and ad roll all packed into the 4 minutes. That makes it essentially impossible to binge multiple episodes without listening to those over and over. You also can’t skip them because the actual content is so short. I realize Ryan’s not running a non-profit here, but it’d be nice if he considered the listener experience a bit more. To really make the super short style work, it’d be great if he could go the Naval way and just do content only, no music no intro outro or ads. Fans will still follow, check out links in description, turn into customers, or whatever the funnel is supposed to be here.
