This episode features Wes Moore, a bestselling author, activist, decorated Army combat veteran, and the first CEO of the Robin Hood, an innovative non-profit dedicated to fighting poverty in New York City. Wes's bestselling book, The Other Wes Moore is a moving memoir about two young men from the same rough streets of Baltimore, but whose lives took very different turns. On the podcast, Wes and Erin discuss the trajectories we take in our lives and how our decisions determine our ultimate destiny. No matter our position or circumstance, may each of us strive to be useful; may we lead with love and hope; and may we all live in faith instead of fear.
