Most people know S.D. Smith as the author of many popular children's novels, but in reality he's a creator of worlds. Smith grew up in West Virginia and South Africa and tells the story of not only how he developed as an author, working with his son, and why his parenting slogan is "Big Love, Big Discipline."

Moore discusses how to make more sense of what's dividing our country, why he's a long-term optimist, and what it's really like in the Oval Office. (He's been there a few times.)
