Eric Liu: We're fortunate enough to interview some people in person this week, and we're so glad you joined us. But before we do, we'll start with the parable like we always do, and I'm going to let Ginny do it. She says there are two wolves inside of us who are always a battle. One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness and bravery and love; one is a bad wolf, which represent things like greed and hatred and fear. The grandchild stops and thinks about it for a second, looks up at their grandparent and says, well, which one wins? And the grandparent says, the one you feed.
