    Bruce Arians on Coaching Diversity, Inclusivity, and Breaking Chains!

    Send us a text In this flashback to our 14th Feb episode, the hosts Greg Vaughn and James Harris, brings to you Bruce Arians, the trailblazing coach who changed the NFL game on and off the field. From leading the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory, Arians opens up about his "No Risk It, No Biscuit" mantra and his mission to shake up the league with real diversity. This is the guy who put Black coordinators on both offense and defense, brought in the first female NFL coaches, and built a family vibe that stuck for life. An inner-city kid himself, Arians didn’t just coach—he took players under his wing, made promises to their families, and backed them up like they were his own. He breaks down why he believes the locker room should be a safe place, where politics and egos get left at the door. Bruce Arians isn’t just a coach; he's a dream builder, making sure every kid, no matter where they’re from, has a shot. This one’s about breaking chains and building dreams.

    Inside the Brewers' Missed Dynasty – Vaughn and Sheffield's Journey Through MLB Politics!

    Send us a text Catch the boys, MLB legend Greg Vaughn and his lifelong friend Gary Sheffield, take us back to 1986 in this week's episode on LifeAfterSports'23. The guys share how they both were drafted by the Brewers, only to encounter setbacks within an organization that failed to see their potential. From day one, Vaughn and Sheffield had each other's backs, forming a bond as fierce competitors and true brothers on and off the field. Their early days in baseball weren't just about stats; they were about forging a friendship that could have propelled Milwaukee into a dynasty if the organization had been willing to nurture and invest in its young talent. Greg opens up about the unfair challenges they faced, pointing to how both he and Sheffield had to put up staggering numbers just to get a chance at the big leagues. Vaughn had to hit 30 homers in consecutive seasons, while Sheffield, labeled as one of the top prospects, still had to prove himself tenfold. Yet, the Brewers' management favored players who hadn’t earned the same respect, shaking their trust in the franchise. Through trials, triumphs, and endless hours in the game, Vaughn and Sheffield stayed close, knowing each other's potential when no one else did. Sheffield recalls their relentless training, driven by competition and a refusal to quit – something he says today’s players might lack. They played for the love of the game and the power of brotherhood, pushing each other to the top, both as players and as friends. In a league where respect is hard-earned and even harder to keep, these two proved that success and loyalty go hand in hand.
