Let's #DistillIt with Olympic Silver Medalist and anti-doping advocate Allison Wagner.

Ever heard of “The Fat Kids Dance Party?” Yes, we said “fat”...and that’s ok. Why?

Let's #DistillIt! with former pro soccer player and “Body Mechanic” to kids, Coach Carlos.

Even with some eventual wins, as seen with the conviction of Dr. Larry Nassar, the problem has left many female athletes scarred and fighting to move forward. Our guest this week, Rook Campbell, Professor of Communications at the University of Southern California, focuses on the politics, money, and culture of sport, and has seen first-hand the system that allows for this abuse to occur.

Like the skiers on the slopes of Pyeongchang, we are free-styling it on the show this week and boy do we have lots to talk about in the world of sports.

The statistics in the US of college athletes who make it to the pros is shockingly low. But what about opportunities for elite athletes to go pro overseas? How about those athletes from overseas who may take a spot on an American team? The doors swing both ways with opportunities to have success beyond one's borders. Let's #DistillIt! with very special guest former Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv star David Blu on the Universal Broadcasting Network or FB Live
