Episode Synopsis

Ben Franklin was one of America's Founding Fathers and a bit of an 18th century celebrity. He was a man known for his many vices and yet even he strove for virtue. In his autobiography Franklin explains that after stumbling into his local church one Sunday he was inspired to attempt "moral perfection" by living out 13 virtues. What is a virtue? What virtues made Franklin's list? Why aren't we concerned with being virtuous today? All this and more on today's episode.
