I'm Alex Rodriguez. I'm a former New York Yankee and played professional baseball for over twenty years. Almost that entire time, I was thinking about business.
And I'm Jason Kelly. I've been a business journalist at Bloomberg for more than two decades, and across my career, I've covered everything from the Olympics to Wall Street.
From Bloomberg, This is the Deal. Each week you're here us in conversation with business icons.
And this show will explore deal making across sports, media and entertainment. For Maria Sharapova, I want to win with people that know how to lose. To Michael Strahan, the city eat you alive.
But being here in New York has meant the world of me because it's opened up so many opportunities that's given me my life away from the game of football.
To Derek Jeter, Alex did me a favor.
He signed a long term deal before me, you know what I mean, So I sort of piggybacked off of his deal.
This is a show where we talk with big time athletes and executives about the wins, the losses, and lessons learned along the way.
That is a harsh lesson in business.
Sports is not as simple as bringing a bunch of big names together.
I didn't want to do another stop you out speech.
I'm a blue collar kid, and I think that's something that gets so it opened up so many more doors. The show is called The Deal. Listen to The Deal from Bloomberg Podcasts and Bloomberg originals available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Bloomberg, CarPlay, or wherever you get your podcasts.
