As parents, we teach our children how to move through the world. But as our children grow older, we learn from them, too.

That relationship can grow into a real partnership and friendship — and a positive support system pushing each other to be better and do better.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, we’ll listen back to a Power Pair that is a good example of that transition, mother-daughter duo Rose McGee and Roslyn Harmon.

Do you know a Power Pair?

We’d love to hear your ideas for 2025. We’re talking with prominent Minnesotans who you may know of separately but who reveal something new when we sit them down together. Maybe they’re married or siblings or best friends. They could be business partners or a parent/adult child dynamic duo.
