Today is MOTH Monday on Good News Network: In partnership with The Moth, a nonprofit dedicated to the art of storytelling, we bring you the most uplifting speakers from live stages across the world.

When Liel Leibowitz was just a boy, he was stunned to hear that his father was actually the notorious bank robber who he and his friends had always idolized.

Needless to say, the revelation ended up posing some bizarre personal challenges for Leibowitz as he grew up.

But now over the course of raising two children of his own, Leibowitz has come to realize that his father's alter-ego gave him an invaluable lesson which has greatly benefitted both himself and his children.

Listen to his story below…

The Moth gives people an opportunity to tell a true story in front of a live audience, and sometimes their stories are chosen to air on the radio show, now celebrating its tenth year, and broadcasting on 485+ public radio stations—and on The Moth podcast, which is downloaded over 52 million times a year.

The Moth's third book, Occasional Magic: True Stories About Defying the Impossible will be published in March 2019 and is available for pre-order from your favorite bookseller now.
