Rower, author, & speaker Arshay Cooper joins me to talk about how a group of all-black high schoolers in a rough area see a boat on campus one day and against all odds, become unlikely teammates that learn to trust and work as a very different kind of crew. Arshay's infectious energy and stories about finding his voice through rowing with athletes from many rival gangs is a do-not-miss story that made it to the cover of the newspapers and garnered attention from around the world!

Arshay's book "A Beautiful Thing" releases June 30!
