Basic Thoughtonomics
On Basic Thoughtonomics I (Chris Grosso) have conversations with people in the sports media world who have similar interests, hobbies, mindsets and are passionate at what they do. What makes me stand out is my personality and knowledge. I'm a very gregarious, charismatic, down-to-earth guy with a very relatable personality and a great sense of humor and I try to make that come out in my episdoes.
