Tracee Ellis Ross has a famous, successful mother: the singer Diana Ross. You might think that someone that successful would care a lot about success. Indeed, it’s a pretty common pattern: the driven parent drives their children—to get good grades, to win games, to be the strongest, prettiest, or most popular. They want to continue their pattern of excellence down through the college their kids go to or the profession they work.

But Tracee got lucky. Her mom did it right.

Find out what Tracee's mom did, and how you can emulate her example, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
