Podcast appearances and mentions of David Blitzer

In this episode of The Deal, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly talk with David Blitzer, Blackstone’s chairman and the co-founder of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, about how his teams use data and analytics to improve fan experience. In this conversation, which was taped in front of an audience at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Blitzer tells the hosts how a “failed athlete” came to be the first person to own teams in all five major American sports leagues, what he’s doing to invest in the “massively fragmented” world of youth sports and why having a favorite sports team is like having a favorite child.

Have the chances of Nottingham Forest playing in the Europa League improved now? To Buy Wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for the latest Forest news update as we dive into the dramatic developments surrounding Crystal Palace's UEFA Europa League saga. In this video, Wolfie breaks down the outcome of Palace's crunch meeting with UEFA, where co-owner John Textor's proposal to place his shares in a blind trust was rejected due to a missed registration deadline. This decision has left Palace's European dreams hanging by a thread, with their multi-club ownership issues involving Textor's stakes in both Palace and Lyon creating a major hurdle. The rejection of Textor's blind trust plan has significantly limited Crystal Palace's options, with the club now facing the possibility of complete expulsion from European competitions. To make matters worse, another Palace shareholder, David Blitzer, has ties to Danish club Brøndby, who qualified for the Conference League, ruling out a potential demotion to that competition. Wolfie discusses how this chaotic situation has opened the door for Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League and secured a Conference League spot, to potentially be promoted to the Europa League if Palace are disqualified. With UEFA's decision expected before the Europa Conference League qualifying draw on June 17, the clock is ticking for Palace to find a solution, possibly through Textor selling his 43% stake. Wolfie explores what this means for Nottingham Forest's European ambitions, highlighting the improved chances of Nuno Espírito Santo's side stepping up to the Europa League. Could this be Forest's big break to shine on the European stage? Tune in for Wolfie's insights, analysis, and thoughts on how this could shape Forest's season.

Despite the absence of engagement with other Power Four conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, or SEC, "College Sports Tomorrow" has already made significant strides in presenting their proposal to the ACC Board of Directors in February. This initiative, spearheaded by prominent figures including NFL executive Brian Rolapp, Philadelphia 76ers owner David Blitzer, and Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud, outlines a bold vision for the future of collegiate athletics. At the heart of their proposal is the establishment of 70 permanent members, drawn from the ranks of the Power Four teams and Notre Dame, organized into ten-team divisions. These elite members would enjoy immunity from relegation, contrasting with the additional division designed to accommodate teams promoted from a secondary tier, mirroring the promotion and relegation system seen in European soccer leagues. While the concept of relegation in college football has garnered attention in the past, with even former Alabama coach Nick Saban weighing in during a 2022 interview, "College Sports Tomorrow" seeks to chart a new course for the sport. As discussions continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how other conferences will respond to this innovative proposal. Meanwhile, proactive measures taken by conferences like the Big Ten and SEC, which have established advisory groups to explore strategic directions for college sports, underscore the ongoing efforts within the collegiate athletics landscape to adapt to evolving circumstances and embrace innovative models for the future.

t's incredibly unique and special. Yeah, no doubt about it. Right. We only get to do this once. Yeah, right, got to figure out how you want to do it. Well, not investors though, in the sports world yep. So how are you then, maybe thinking about you know, we talk often about branding and partnerships and especially with athletes. How are you guys thinking about that as part of the strategy, the growth strategy going forward? Well, it's interesting our brand launched as an active brand, so we were carried in Equinox and Peloton and Soul Cycle and Barry's boot Camp in places like that, and then we added in our commuter lane. I'm wearing a full commuter shirt and a commuter you know, commuter the computer and it's been an incredible part of our business. But active is at our roots. That's how we still see ourselves as a performance brand. So the sports partnerships, the athlete partnerships, is something that we're planning to lean into more as part of this. We have seven professional sports team owners on the cap table. We have the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, English Premier League all represented across the ownership group, and that's that's a great opportunity for us and a great revenue mover. Eventually, could you see yourself doing lines around an athlete. I certainly think there would be collections and collaborations in the future. Yeah. What's the bricks and mortar strategy right now? So we've opened eleven stores in the last twelve months, so we have we have fifteen source total. Now I thought, yeah, it's it is certainly not for us in our stores are all profitable. The payback period has been incredibly quick on these stores and what they do for us in a market. We can measure the e comm impact and the awareness impact when we open a new store, So I think it's getting more competitive though. Every brand is trying to open retail, So there, you know, there was kind of a window of opportunity. I think that window is starting to close. Also, you know what's happening macroeconomically, that may shift over time. But online digital acquisition costs have been growing at such an increasing rate everybody's playing in that space that it became really expensive to acquire companies online. Now you now you can acquire companies or customers the old fashioned way through retail and make money as you're acquiring them. How do you how do you track that the eCOM left? Yeah, how do your yeah? Exactly? How do you know that what's happening in the store outside of a store will lead to a sale online? So we have a baseline of data in every single market that be tracked by a zip code. Right and after you open a store, there's a thirty day measurement, a three month measurement, a six month measurement, and a year long measurement. And you try and see did the baseline of e comm rise since the store opening? Is it complete direct correlation? Hard to know because the brand's also growing, But if you if you then minus overall brand growth did the market grow at an above rate of the standard growth rate? And that's kind of how we think about measuring it. I am always curious about like a product line or a brand because I think sometimes you can grow too fast in terms of the stuff you offer that it just gets overwhelming. So how do you think about how you kind of, you know, cultivate that or curate that so that you don't kind of overwhelm the consumer. It's tricky because the customer has given us such opportunity to do so many things, as we've introduced commuter and we have we have to guard ourselves a little bit against it. But right now we say we really can outfit about eighty percent of a guy's closet. And not a single day passed in the pandemic where I didn't get a text from somebody saying I've realized all I've worn for the last six months is Roan. I walked in today and our friend Jason Kelly's like, I didn't know you were coming, and I'm top to bottom, so it's kind of top to bottom. Yeah, So we're really lucky that we've got diehard customers and they really wear the brand in multiple settings we've got to take a commercial break, but we know that finally you're doing something for the better half. Yes, absolutely, the better half. So we want to talk about that and your offerings and just kind of where growth goes from here, because it sounds like going public. Should we wait to talk about that. Let's talk post commercial break about that. We are here with Nate Check. It's Ron co founder and CEO with us in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. I'm only going to ask this because we are focused on the labor market right now with all the data points coming, are you getting all the workers you want? Yeah? I mean we've been lucky. We've always paid above market for retail in particular, that was the toughest piece, you know, as we've scaled the But it's so critical to have good people in your stores. It makes all the difference. If a store is not performing well and you put the right person in, it will just completely transform how the store performs. So we've been fortunate that we've been able to attract really good talent. Speaking of those stores, they're going to start selling women's stuff finally, even every interview at the end either, Yeah, So when's it happening. So this coming May, we will be launching women's and it's incredibly exciting. It's been a long time in the works. You know, we've started. We started as a men's brand. We did a women's capsule in twenty nineteen and it went so well, it sold out. But you go into twenty twenty and do you want to take the inventory risk and continue to lean into it. But we brought an incredible chief product officer who is really the most talented fabric person I've ever worked with, and she has put together an incredible initial collection. It's been received so well as we've taken it to market and introduced it to wear testers. And part of the big story of Roan is that we added three very talented female executives over the last three years and they've been a big part of our success. And seventy percent of our team is female. So we wanted to build a collection that they were proud and excited to wear, and I basically just tried to get out of the way intentional hiring women. I would say we hired the absolute best people for the position, and they happened to be women. I think we have always believed in building a diverse and strong team, and we needed that at every level. We've just added a female board director named Tess Roaring, who's incredibly talented. But we always try and hire the best person for the job, and the best for the job for these jobs were the women that we hired. I talked to us about financials. You guys have said publicly, are you going to do a commuter suit for women? I can't reveal new collections on how they're waiting numbers. I know you're going to be bluebarg as we should be, but I'm just okay. So one hundred million dollar annual run rate profitable last three years, yep. What else can you tell us? Well, the company's growing twice as fast since we did this transaction than we did, you know, than we were growing before. And better environment or what I would say. It's actually probably a harder environment. Most of the brands in our space are flat down quite significantly. This year. We've opened eleven stores, as I mentioned, in the last twelve months. There's been strong growth in a couple of our categories. We have some product lines that are growing at north of three hundred percent this year. So we feel really good about where the business is today, and we you know, we have a lot of conviction that we can continue to grow in scale. It's not not easy, but we're excited. All right. We got a little bit of a lightning round. I don't think this has ever happened before the first time. Okay, you don't have to answer in a lightning way, because some of these are longer answers. Okay, work life balance, we talk a lot about work life balance. You share so much of your life on Instagram. I followed you for years. You have family, kids. Is work life balance and illusion? Yes it is. I mean, I don't even like the word balance. I think it's a I think it's the wrong term. And I think I've grown as I've thought more about this. I really love I can't remember where I heard this. I love the word harmony because in theory, when you're doing it right, your work should help you at home and your home should help you at work. And you know that the balance makes it feel like there should be a bucket of each and you need to make them equal or a certain proportion, and harmony shows you how they can really influence each other. And for me, becoming a better leader in the workplace. Being more thoughtful and sensitive, how I approach conversations, how we think about long term planning has for sure made me a better parent and I hope a better partner. Do where to go? Okay, this is back to kind of hardcore business. What prompts men to buy activewear these days? Has anything changed? What gets their own target demo to pull out the plastic and buy? Yeah? What's really exciting is I think that the shift during COVID, where I think in particular, we saw a shift for men to start taking better care of themselves, to allow themselves to take better care of themselves. That I think has continued and I hope never goes back. It's really important. And so you know, there's a lot of different modalities. It could be yoga, it could be running, it could be cycling. But most of our customers do a balance of all of those. You talked about the athletic side of the business. Is that still the big chunk of the business. It's pretty equal at this point in our commuter lines. Yeah, there are a lot of customers who only know us for our commuter line. Wow, what's more profitable? I would say our commuter line is more profitable. It's a higher price point. Okay, Okay, So when you told us earlier that covid was really challenging, Yeah, was that as challenging as the first couple of years of just getting the brand off the ground and like knocking on doors and getting Peloton and Equinox and barriers to carry this stuff. It was more challenging for me, it was. There's no question it was more challenging. In the beginning. You're so excited and you've got nothing to lose, right, So you're kind of trying to build this business from scratch, and if you lose it, you know, no harm, no FAULI it, it doesn't it's not worth anything at that point. But then as it grows, there's more pressure. There's more people, you know, and I care so deeply about how our team feels about work and and so the pandemic was hard again on so many people and so many families. I just felt that weight all the time, and I didn't know how to relieve it. So for me, it was harder. Last question, right, Yeah, if everything goes according to plan, Ron will fill in the blank. Ron will have a massive impact on the mental health in this country. Wow. We have we do have one minute left. Oh huh yeah. Mental health okay, personally yeah, how did you get past that hump that you faced during the pandemic. Well, I think a big part of it for me was building a toolkit and understanding how to deal with those challenges because these things tend to catch us unaware, you know, anxiety, depression. You can't fully prepare for them, but you can build a toolkit to know how to address it when you feel that way. And there's a number of things that I do, but motion exercise. I got really into contrast therapy, cold plunging saunas, and social connection, intentionally seeking out. It's hard to build friends, you know, as you age, but getting yourself uncomfortable makes a big difference. Well, you've definitely made a big difference. You can tell in what you're doing in the last year, and you can tell how much you're enjoying it. So looking forward to the next ten years, oh at least twenty years, thirty years, be welcome back soon, Thank you always welcome of course. Nate check It's co founder and CEO of Ron joining us in studio. If you missed any of that conversation, be sure to check out our podcast feed and we'll be sure to highlight it to in our weekend So you are listening and watching Woodberg RadioSee

This week, we are delighted to welcome Ryan Smith. Ryan is the owner of the NBA's Utah Jazz, and co-owner of Real Salt Lake in the MLS. He is also founder and executive chairman of Qualtrics, an experience management software company he built from the ground up, and the co-founder and chairman of Smith Entertainment Group. Ryan and his wife Ashley purchased the Utah Jazz in late 2020 as part of the launch of Smith Entertainment Group (SEG), which also includes the Delta Center, SEG Media, Real Salt Lake (MLS), the Utah Royals (NWSL - coming in 2024), America First Credit Union Field, Salt Lake City Stars (NBA G League), Utah Jazz Gaming (NBA 2K League), Real Monarchs (MLS NEXT Pro), and other Utah-centric business ventures. On today's show, we discuss: From tech to sports ownership: How to apply learnings from business and entrepreneurship into a sports environment. What does it take to buy an NBA franchise and how to make sure you can run a sustainable organisation without compromising on success? Building a culture everyone can get behind and the importance of passion to drive performance. What are the responsibilities of an owner? How to build a team on and off the court to match your ambitions.  Utah Jazz and the NBA: The business of the NBA and franchise development: is team ownership a good way to spend your money?  Ryan's passion for sport in Utah and using it to build value in the state. How the ownership model has changed: a rise in price means we are seeing more ‘group' acquisitions rather than wealthy individual control. Fan experience is everything. The importance of building an occasion that is tailored to exceed the expectations of everyone in attendance. New media deals at the local level to take control of content distribution and access. The rise of MLS Messi's contract with Inter Miami has changed the game for MLS. How are the other franchises gaining from his participation? A new age of athlete contracts: how a deal with Apple and global promotion takes the product to a new level. From owning the Jazz to Real Salt Lake. The importance of David Blitzer to Ryan's ownership and how he manages his time between the two. The opportunity offered by the security of the franchise system vs the open league that is great for competition but not for overall asset value.

The concept of financial math is another foundational element of investing and good economic decision-making, and today we are carrying on the recent string of shows dealing with these kinds of fundamental aspects. First, we have a look at the central idea of the time value of money, and how this plays into many areas of our finances, such as retirement planning, spending, investing, and so on. From there, the conversation goes on to cover exponential functions, the tradeoffs between saving and spending, and regrets. Today's 60-second episode recap is of the great conversation we had with David Blitzer back on Episode 54, and we also do a quick book review of the potentially life-changing How to Live on 24 Hours a Day. We finish off this punchy episode with some news from the community and some thoughts on the ways in which competition and repetition can improve a skill.   Key Points From This Episode:   •    Introducing the time value of money, as well as the concepts of compounding and discounting.

Special Topic: Health Care Sustainability for Trainees (David Blitzer and Elizabeth Yates) by TSRA

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 7, Oakland A’s 2 – Game 1 Oakland A’s 5, Detroit Tigers 0 – Game 2 Cubs and White Sox were off Tigers 7, A’s 2 / A’s 5, Tigers 0 – Murphy’s 3-run homer helps A’s split DH with Tigers Sean Murphy hit a three-run homer to highlight Oakland’s five-run sixth inning that broke up a scoreless game, and the Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0 to split a doubleheader. Murphy connected for his 10th homer — his second straight season in double digits — off Garrett Hill, a rookie making his third major league start. Stephen Vogt added a sacrifice fly and Tony Kemp an RBI single in the fifth for the A’s, who threw their sixth shutout of the season. In the first game, Jeimer Candelario homered and Robbie Grossman doubled twice and drove in three runs against his former team as Detroit won 7-2. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Steele 3-6) at Philadelphia (Gibson 5-3), 7:05 p.m. Cleveland (Quantrill 6-5) at Chicago White Sox (Giolito 6-5), 8:10 p.m. Tigers are off (Detroit will host Minnesota Saturday at 6:10 p.m.  WSJM/WCSY 5:50) MLB – MLB struggling to get attendance back to pre-pandemic levels Blame it on lingering effects of the pandemic, resentment over the lockout or fears over the economy. Major League Baseball teams head into the final 2½ months of the regular season struggling to fill the stands now that they no longer have to worry about pandemic-related attendance restrictions. MLB reached the All-Star break with an average attendance of 26,409. That represents a drop of 5.4% from the All-Star break of 2019. That’s the last season that wasn’t impacted by the pandemic. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Las Vegas Aces 90, Indiana Fever 77 Aces 90, Fever 77 – Wilson, Gray help Aces hand Fever 11th straight loss 90-77 A’Ja Wilson scored 23 points, Chelsea Gray had 14 points and 12 assists and the Las Vegas Aces dealt the Indiana Fever a club-record 11th straight loss, 90-77 on Thursday night.  Wilson scored 14 points and Gray added 12 points and seven assists as the Aces (19-8) built a 52-32 lead by halftime. Las Vegas, which led 25-19 after one quarter, scored the first eight points of the second and led by double digits the rest of the way.  Wilson gave the Aces their largest lead at 68-37 with a 3-pointer at 4:44 of the third period. Jackie Young added 16 points for Las Vegas, and Dearica Hamby finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. Nalyssa Smith scored 24 points to lead Indiana (5-24). Victoria Vivians scored 14 points and Kelsey Smith added 10 points and seven assists. Tonight Dallas Wings at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Moscow says US must respect Russian law in Griner case The spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry says the United States has shown disrespect for Russian law by characterizing basketball star Brittney Griner’s jailing on drug charges as “wrongful detention.” Griner has been jailed since she was arrested in mid-February at a Moscow airport after vape canisters containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage. The Phoenix Mercury standout and two-time Olympic gold medalist acknowledged in court this month that she had the canisters, but said she had no intent to break the law. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday that the legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use in parts of the U.S. has no bearing on what happens in Russia. NFL – Murray, Cardinals agree to contract through 2028 season Kyler Murray has agreed to a long-term contract that will keep the quarterback with the Arizona Cardinals through the 2028 season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection was taken with the No. 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma after he won the Heisman Trophy and has largely delivered in his quest to make the Cardinals a better franchise. Arizona had a 5-10-1 record during his rookie season in 2019 but the Cardinals improved to 11-6 last season before losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card round during the playoffs. NBA – Philadelphia 76ers look to build new $1.3 billion arena The Philadelphia 76ers are taking the first steps toward building a privately-funded sports and entertainment arena. The team’s managing partners on Thursday announced the creation of a new development company to create its future home in the city’s Fashion District. They say 76 Place is anticipated to cost about $1.3 billion. Josh Harris and David Blitzer say in a news release they’re committed to creating “a privately funded arena that strengthens ties within the local community through investments that prioritize equity, inclusivity and accessibility.” Groundbreaking is not expected for several years and the project is expected to be finished in time for the 2031-2032 NBA season. The Sixers currently play at Wells Fargo Center. NCAAFB – Georgia’s Smart gets 10-year extension, raise to $10.25M Georgia’s Kirby Smart has agreed to a contract extension through the 2031 season worth more than $110 million that strengthens his status as one of college football’s highest-paid coaches. Smart will be paid $10.25 million this season in base salary and supplemental compensation. He will receive raises each season, which lead to total compensation of $12.25 million in 2031. The extension comes after Smart led the Bulldogs to last season’s national championship, the first for Georgia since 1980. He is 66-15 in six years at Georgia. Smart joins Alabama’s Nick Saban, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, LSU’s Brian Kelly, Michigan State’s Mel Tucker and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher as college football coaches who will make at least $9 million in 2022. Track and Field – Lyles leads U.S. sweep; Jackson tops Jamaica 1-2 in 200 Noah Lyles led wire to wire and routed the field in the 200 meters Thursday in 19.31 seconds, the third-fastest time ever, to lead America’s second sprint sweep at world championships. Lyles blew away U.S. teammates Kenny Bednarek by 0.46 seconds, with 18-year-old Erriyon Knighton finishing third. When the winner saw the names of his American teammates pop up behind his, he slammed his hands on the ground, ripped off his jersey and grabbed the gold medal from the awaiting presenter. His victory came moments after Shericka Jackson gave the Jamaican women another gold in the sprints. She ran 21.45, the second-fastest time in history, to beat 100-meter champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Olympics – Tokyo Olympic aftermath still being untangled a year later The COVID-delayed Tokyo Olympics opened a year ago on July 23, 2021. They survived the one-year postponement, soaring costs and some public opposition. The aftermath is as difficult to untangle as the Games were to pull off. The Games were to drive tourism and showcase Japanese technology. The pandemic squelched that. The official price tag is $13 billion. The Tokyo city government picked up $5.4 billion in Games expenses and it is now trying to champion post-Games uses for a half-dozen new venues. The head of the Tokyo Games says a main legacy will be using Tokyo to drive a bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics in Sapporo. Cycling – Chris Froome out of Tour de France with COVID-19 Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome has pulled out of cycling’s biggest race after testing positive for COVID-19. Froome withdrew from the Tour ahead of Stage 18 from Lourdes to Hautacam in the Pyrenees. Froome says in a video message he will now refocus on competing at the Spanish Vuelta next month. HSBB – Former coach criminally charged in naked ‘fat test’ case A Rhode Island high school basketball coach has been criminally charged by authorities who say he asked male student-athletes to remove their clothes so he could check their body fat. Aaron Thomas was charged Thursday with child molestation and sexual assault involving two students. Thomas coached boys at North Kingstown High School since the 1990s until he resigned last year. A lawyer for Thomas says that his client denies wrongdoing and that the tests bettered the athletic performance of many students. Arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 19.

He also talks about the new ownership and how RSL is building relationships with David Blitzer's other clubs around the world.
