"I am my ancestors' wildest dream." Governor Wes Moore wants to fight for the future of this country because he is the product of generational sacrifices made in pursuit of the American dream. The 63rd Governor of Maryland sits down with Dan Le Batard for a deeply personal conversation about the moments that shaped his life and leadership.
