This clip from Fargo Talks goes into something every parent faces. I tell Mackenzie Dern how we try to take the best things our parents did and leave behind the parts that did not help us. I talk about breaking cycles and choosing to be a better dad on purpose, not by accident.
I ask Mackenzie what she does differently with her daughter, Moa. She talks about loving her dad and respecting him, but also choosing a different approach because she is a woman raising a girl. She wants to be an example her daughter can look up to, not outgrow. She explains how her home and her ex’s home give Moa two different lifestyles, and how that pushes her to be more structured and value-focused.
Mackenzie talks about teaching values early, thinking about how her daughter sees her, and making choices based on who she wants her daughter to become. She points out how easy it is today for kids to feel entitled, so she focuses on building worth, strength, and direction while her daughter is young.
This clip is about choices, values, and being intentional about the example you set.
