During this very unique time with the global pandemic of the Coronavirus...there's not a lot of 'fun' things going on right now. And with social distancing and efforts to better contain the spread of COVID-19 - there's almost not live sporting events taking place anywhere in the world. We at Thrive LOUD needed a change of pace and something ELSE to talk about. Evan Money (an upcoming guest on Thrive LOUD) and Lou Diamond got together to make the most of the situation we are in and created a special Thrive LOUD episode focused on life, leadership, the NFL...and other sports. Have a listen and hear two leaders take on a few hot topics:  NFL's free agency, Tom Brady heading to Tampa, the newly approved CBA and the upcoming NFL Draft. And who know....this might start something completely new....  

This was initially going to be an episode focused on the NCAA basketball tournament; however, things change. Due to the spreading of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) across the globe - many events, meetings, sporting activities, classes, conferences have been either cancelled or postponed. At the time of this recording, the NCAA Basketball Tournament was to be played with no fans in attendance; the NBA basketball season has been suspended and many other sporting events are up in the air as to whether they'll be played or not. Speaker, author, thought leader and co-host of the podcast program "DID THAT JUST HAPPEN" Tony Chatman joins Lou Diamond to talk about all of these matters as the world copes with a very unique situation during a special time of year. *** CONNECT TO LOU DIAMOND: www.loudiamond.net SUBSCRIBE TO THRIVE LOUD:  www.thriveloud.com/podcast
