On a special episode of the #STRIVECast, our team joins in a conference call together, while we practice #SocialDistancing in the time of #COVID_19.

It definitely helped us make our day feel a little more "normal," even though we couldn't be in-studio together. Tune in for some tips from Jeff, Noel and Susie about ways to stay active and positive while staying inside, and more! We hope you are all staying safe and that you enjoy.
