The National Women’s Soccer League’s regular season kicks off next week. And thanks in part to a record-breaking media rights agreement and the growth of women’s professional sports across the board, the league is gaining more attention — and investment — than ever. Angel City Football Club became the highest-valued women’s sports team in the world last year when Willow Bay and Bob Iger acquired a controlling stake in the franchise for $250 million. Julie Uhrman, the team’s CEO and co-founder, says Angel City is just the beginning. On the show today, Uhrman explains how she and her co-founders got investors to see their vision, why a game day experience that leaves you with FOMO is key to Angel City’s growth, and how to watch the NWSL’s season. Later, how proposed funding cuts at the National Institutes of Health could leave a generational impact on the United States’ reputation as a science leader. And Adam Grant, host of the “Re:Thinking” podcast, answers the Make Me Smart question. Here’s everything we talked about today: “How Angel City became ‘the most valuable women's sports team in the world' with new owners” from The Athletic “Ranking new 2025 NWSL team jerseys: Which kits hit?” from ESPN “Without the Draft, NWSL Clubs Are Navigating a Changing Landscape in College Recruitment” from Sports Illustrated “NWSL announces landmark media partnerships with CBS Sports, ESPN, Prime Video and Scripps Sports” from NWSL “National Women's Soccer League Playoffs Docuseries Gets Premiere Date At Prime Video” from Deadline Listen: Adam Grant’s interview with Sabri Ben-Achour on Marketplace Morning Report Got a question or comment for the hosts?

With record-breaking attendance at games and viewership of televised games, the groundswell of enthusiasm for women's sports has created a cultural movement. How should investors think about the opportunity in women's sports, and how might the growth trajectory of the professional women's leagues compare to the equivalent men's leagues? In the final episode of a four-part series on the changing dynamics in the business of sports, host Nicole Pullen Ross discusses the business forces driving growth in women's sports with Stacy Sonnenberg, Head of Global Sports Finance. Nicole is also joined by Willow Bay, Dean of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism and the new controlling owner of the National Women's Soccer League's Angel City FC.

Nicole Pullen Ross is Head of Sports and Entertainment for Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management. She is also Head of the Private Wealth Management business for the New York region at Goldman Sachs.

Kelly sits down with her BOSS, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger. The two dive into everything including Bob's leaving and returning to the company, his "consigliere" wife, Willow Bay, his newest royal bling and whether or not he will run for President of the United States one day. They discuss Kelly's new Disney Legend status and Bob's biggest achievements, failures, "pinch me" moments and of course linear TV. Bob sticks around for a very revealing rapid fire round and could this CEO be getting a Grammy one day? Kelly thinks so!

https://www.thewrap.com/bob-iger-sell-disney-apple-power-move/ From The Wrap: ”This is the pinnacle deal for the ultimate dealmaker,“ one studio insider says Now that Disney CEO Bob Iger has regained the keys to the Magic Kingdom — less than three years after his chosen successor, Bob Chapek, took over — insiders suspect they know how the beloved executive will find a new way to go out on top during his final two-year stint. “He's going to sell the company,” one Disney insider who has worked for Iger predicted. “This is the pinnacle deal for the ultimate dealmaker.” Landing a deal with Apple (or some other megabuyer) would also cement Iger's legacy. “I think he'd welcome it — he'd be the last CEO of Disney,” a former top Disney executive told TheWrap, noting that the two companies have “similar brand identities” and could benefit from a merger. Acquisitions are in Iger's DNA. Under Iger's leadership, Disney went on a nearly $100 billion shopping spree to buy animation giant Pixar in 2006, superhero juggernaut Marvel in 2009, “Star Wars”-powered Lucasfilm in 2012 and Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox in 2019. But there was one acquisition he's publicly lamented as a transformational deal that got away — a combination with the tech powerhouse Apple In Iger's 2019 autobiography “The Ride of a Lifetime,” the executive wrote chapters about his friendship with Steve Jobs. He and his wife, Willow Bay, were close friends with Steve and Laurene Powell Jobs, even spending holidays together and vacationing in Hawaii. He even writes about standing in front of Steve Jobs' grave when the tech visionary's wife uttered: “I asked him if we could trust you. And Steve said, ‘I love that guy.' ” Iger responds: “The feeling was mutual.” Yes, there are caveats — chief among them that Jobs died in 2011. And Disney is a big pill to swallow, with a $180 billion market valuation that would easily soar to a $200 billion premium if the studio were to be acquired. A deal of that size is likely to draw stiff antitrust resistance at a moment when regulators have stepped up efforts to block other recently proposed media megadeals. Paramount Global this week scrapped the $2 billion sale of its Simon & Schuster division to book publishing giant Penguin Random House after a federal judge blocked the deal, while European regulators have launched a probe of Microsoft's $69 million offer to purchase gaming giant Activision Blizzard. Apple CEO Tim Cook, known to be a safe player with relatively few acquisitions under his leadership, might have given Wall Street a big hint in April. During a call with investors, Cook said he would not rule out acquiring a large company, and that the main drive was to secure strong intellectual property and big names. Hello, Disney? “We are always looking at companies to buy, we acquire a lot of smaller companies and we'll continue to do that for IP and to incorporate talent,” Cook said. “We don't discount something larger if the opportunity presents itself. I'm not going to go through my list with you on this call, but we're always looking.” Apple, which has been tinkering with a grab in the streaming space with hits like “Ted Lasso,” certainly has the financial firepower to pull off an acquisition of this size. Even as borrowing costs get more expensive with rising interest rates, the Cupertino-based company is sitting on top of a $48.3 billion cash stockpile. Fleshing that out to both cash and investments, the total surges to about $200 billion. That's 7.4% of all the mad money held by every member of the broad Standard & Poor's 500 index. Not to mention that Apple shares have skyrocketed since Iger and Jobs first did business together. Disney bought the Jobs-run Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 billion, which put the animation studio's CEO on the entertainment company's 10-member board.

They created some of Walt Disney Studios’ most famous work -- such films as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Rescuers, and many more.As a joke, Walt called them the Nine Old Men as a play on words for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s nine Supreme Court judges. The joke was that most of the Nine Old Men were in their 20s!All nine of them were named Disney Legends in 1989.Brenda’s First Selection: Frank ThomasName:  Franklin Rosborough ThomasBorn:  September 5, 1912               Birthplace:  Santa Monica, CADied: September 8, 2004College:  Two years at Fresno State College where he played in the band. While there he filmed a silent film called “The Sophomore.” He also drew cartoons for the school yearbook.Then he finished his degree with two years at Stanford University – and then onto Chouinard Art Institute (met Ollie Johnston at Stanford and both went to Chouinard)He painted beautiful watercolor pictures and illustrations. He also produced oil paintings and portraits. His life drawings are absolutely beautiful. I suggest you Google “Breakfast and the Genius of Frank Thomas” to get a look. They are really something.After Chouinard, he applied at the Walt Disney Company.As the 6th hire of Walt’s Nine Old Men he was hired by the Walt Disney Company on September 24, 1934. His employee number was 224.He retired on January 31, 1978Animation Career1st animation short – “Brave Little Tailor”He was known for combining artistry and sincere actingHe and Ollie Johnston were a great team – Frank and OlliePopular characters and scenes he animated:The dwarfs crying over Snow White’s “dead” bodyPinocchio singing at the marionette theatreBambi and Thumper on the iceLady and the Tramp eating spaghettiThe three fairies in Sleeping Beauty (Flora, Fauna and Meriwether)The dancing penguins in Mary PoppinsDirecting Animator for several villains:Lady Tremaine in CinderellaQueen of Hearts in Alice in WonderlandCaptain Hook in Peter PanOther professional accomplishments:Co-authored with Ollie the book “Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life” THE TEXTBOOK for Animation courses still today. The book is known as “the bible” among character animators.Last professional work before his death in 2004 was The Incredibles. He wasn’t an animator, though, he was a voice character. You may remember the scene with the 2 old men saying “That’s old school…” (Frank) and “Yeah, no school like the old school.” (Ollie)Best professional advice he gave to upcoming animators?

Willow Bay, dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, details how the school is developing our next generation of journalists while taking advantage of the unique media resources of Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

Willow Bay is the first female dean of USC's prestigious Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism. Her prominent broadcast experience includes co-hosting NBA Inside Stuff, serving as a correspondent for the Today Show, co-anchoring ABC's Good Morning America weekend edition and anchoring CNN's Moneyline News Hour. Before joining USC to direct the journalism program, she was a senior editor and senior strategic advisor to The Huffington Post and a special correspondent for Bloomberg TV. Willow is originally from New York City and holds an MBA from NYU. In her 20s, she was the face of Estee Lauder cosmetics and she says her modeling career not only helped her pay for school, but launched her into the TV reporting world by leading to on-air marketing spots.  One of her first gigs was also hosting a travel show alongside former NBC Today Show anchor, Matt Lauer.  Willow was named Dean of USC's Annenberg in July 2017. She launched the school's Media Center in Wallis Annenberg Hall, introduced the school’s new Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree program, and welcomed the first cohort of the school’s nine-month Master of Science in Journalism program.  Her husband is Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, and the couple has two children.

Willow Bay is the first woman to ever be appointed Dean of the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Journalism. She is also an accomplished TV journalist, digital news editor and author. Bay talks about her experience as a woman in media and what she sees for the future of journalism. Like what we're doing?
