A very special guest, known as one of the greatest divers of all time, Gregory Efthimios Louganis joins us to talk about his life, his accomplishments, and the change he has witnessed in attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community and the struggle with HIV/AIDS. Greg has won four Olympic gold medals, five world championships, and dozens of other awards during his career. He was also a focal point in the discussion around HIV/AIDS when he injured his head in a diving event, and bled into the pool. He was unjustly criticized for not disclosing his health status, however, it was later concluded by experts that the other divers were at no risk of contracting the disease. Greg is now an author, activist for LGBTQ+ rights, and personal coach. He uses his experience as one of the greatest competitors of all time to prepare people for any situation they may face in life or business.    Check out Gregs' website here https://greglouganis.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/greglouganis/?hl=en Olympics.com  https://olympics.com/en/athletes/gregory-louganis
