What if the responsibilities you never asked for are the ones that shape you the most?
In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, we dive into Big Daddy — Adam Sandler’s classic comedy that secretly doubles as a profound lesson in personal growth.
Sonny Koufax starts as the ultimate avoider: drifting, aimless, and allergic to adulthood. But when unexpected responsibility arrives at his door in the form of young Julian, everything changes. Through Stoic action, existential choice, and Buddhist compassion, Sonny discovers a truth that echoes far beyond the movie:
Sometimes responsibility chooses you before you choose it.
We explore how unplanned responsibility can uncover identity, deepen purpose, and initiate transformation — even when you feel unprepared.
