And turns out 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: they struck that deal right on time because the team 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: is led by Michaela Schiffrin, who recently broke the record 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: for most World Cup wins by a woman with three. 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: There it is the final guft but let you get 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: that Kaela Schiffred victory number eighty three. That was Schiffen's 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: when captured by a very excited NBC Sports. Steples deal 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: with the US Alpine Ski team includes a special financial 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: education program for the athletes as well, and we'll dive 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: into all of that and more with Ron Schukovsky. He 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: is with the show right now with the Bloomberg Business 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: of Sports Round. Welcome to the show. I'm pleased to 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: join you. We got to bring this up, Tom Brady. 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: We talked about a guy who's made a fistfull of cash. Uh. 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: He is officially retiring and he says this time is yeah, 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: it says this is for good this time now this 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: is According to the database spot track, Brady has earned 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: more than three two million dollars twenty three seasons in 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: the NFL. He has endorsement deals with under Armor and 25 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: Hurts among other big brands. Forgot. I mean, it's huge. 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: So so when can the skiers get in on all 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: this and get all this endorsement stuff? You know that 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: That's a great question. And I think that what it 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: comes to is at the United States, one of the 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: obviously the biggest market in the world and one of 31 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: the biggest sports markets in the world, um comes to 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: understand and appreciate the alpine skiing, uh, you know, as 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: they that they do football. Maybe not quite that. I'll 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: give you an example of World Championships are gonna be 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: starting in Courseable France, and I was looking at some 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: numbers you don't talk the business of sports, and approximately 37 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the estimates are about four million Americans will watch it, uh, 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: you know, and delayed or or streaming uh in Germany 39 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: ten times that amount ten times. So I think that 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: when your listeners understand and maybe some of them do them, 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: some of them, don't MICHAELA Shipwrin is the goat. The goat. 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: She is one win away from the all time record, 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: which you think of our stem mark of eighties six 44 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: wins and she's twenty seven years old. It's incredible. And 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: and for us talk about catching lightning in a bottle. 46 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: We we signed the steal last year. No one thought 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: she'd have this kind of year. Maybe I did, but 48 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: maybe that's about it. Pretty incredible timing um definitely given 49 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: uh what she has been able to do, not just 50 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: of late, but throughout her career. And Stephile also has 51 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: sponsorship agreements with the St. Louis Blues, which of course 52 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: plays in your hometown. Uh there, you're the official jersey 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: sponsor and several PJA golfers, and are also the presenting 54 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: sponsor of the Hoskins and Antako Awards, which recognize the 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: USS top collegiate golfers. Can you talk a little bit 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: overall about the strategy behind why steeple is aligning so 57 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: closely with athletes and with sports. Well, first of all, 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: I give my own little bit of marketing line here 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: with steeple Um. What we say is that we're an 60 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: organization where success meets success. So if UM we want, 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: we want to be aligned with successful people, and athletes 62 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: are the you know, the most obvious example of success, 63 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: whether whether you're Tom Brady or MICHAELA Schiffrin or frankly 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: a young collegiate golfer that's gonna be the next Tiger 65 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Woods or you know, the next athlete. So we see 66 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: UH sports and especially individual sports like golf and skiing 67 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: as epitomizing the values and core beliefs that we embrace 68 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: as a as a company. So it's rather it's a 69 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: rather easy um uh connection for us. But it's interesting 70 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: that you say individual athletes as opposed to team sports. 71 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: Can you expand on that? Well, I think, look, there's 72 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: no Eyeon team as as people like to say, and 73 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: U we UH team sports do not have from a 74 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: from a marketing perspective, UH necessarily the same ability to 75 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: identify with success or even success and failure. You know, 76 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: one of the great stories about MICHAELA, even though she's 77 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, where she did not have 78 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: UM a stellar Olympics to say the least. And I've 79 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: talked to her about that and and how what she 80 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: talks about in a view listen to her, you will 81 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: see that even the greatest have failures. Um, and you 82 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: know Michael Jordan's said, you know how many shots he 83 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 1: missed in his career, and yet you know he always 84 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: wanted to have the last shot. And I'm sure Tom 85 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Brady you know, has stories of his failures. Uh. So 86 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: individuals are easier to relate to. Teams are important, but 87 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 1: don't have an individual component that we that we value. 88 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: That said, we're a big sponsor of the Blues as 89 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: a team. You mentioned that you need to have the 90 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: skills and traits required to be a top athlete, and 91 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: it has to mirror what it takes to be a 92 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: successful investor. In other words, to coin my father's words, 93 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: don't be a knucklehead? What do you do to to 94 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: what are what are the skills to be a top 95 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: investor if you are a top athlete, Well, you know, 96 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: look it's it's uh, it's skill. You need perseverance, you know, 97 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: especially in investing. If you if you just become emotional 98 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: with the markets, you're you're gonna what your dad say, 99 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: be a knucklehead. You'll be You'll be a knucklehead if 100 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: if you do that and and uh of course, what 101 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: we what we do, and every great athlete you know, 102 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: has a support system, and what we want to do 103 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: for our clients has provide a support system, you know, 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: not necessarily for athletic prownness, but for savings and retirement 105 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: and financial advice, prounness, and so the qualities that it 106 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: takes skill, dedication, perseverance to be a great athlete, we 107 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: believe those skills are needed to be a great investor 108 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: and not be a knucklehead. I like that, actually, I 109 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: like your dad. So talk a little bit about what 110 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: your strategy or what you're thinking is in terms of 111 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: further expanding into the sports world. You articulated, um, the 112 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: value of individual athletes as opposed to an entire team. 113 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: Really looking to identify the traits and individuals that your customers, 114 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: that your customer based UH might be able to relate to. 115 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: Where do you see CELS involvement in the sports world 116 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: expanding to Well, you know, I think my board probably 117 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: thinks I've done a fair amount here. I'm not. I mean, 118 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: you know again, we do. We're involved in college golf, UM, 119 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: we're involved on the on the pro level of golf. 120 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Were involved with hockey, UM, we we do UM, you know, 121 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: we do the l A Bowl. Um, that's more branding 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: for us, and of course, UM, the USK team uh 123 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and the individuals on the USK team. So at this point, 124 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, I know this is the you know, the 125 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: business of sports here. I think I think my plates 126 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: kind of full right now in terms of what we're doing. Now, 127 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask a silly question because you mentioned about golfers, uh, 128 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: and you are the presenting sponsor of the Haskins and 129 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Anika Awards. If I'm saying that right, I'm assuming we're 130 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: talking about Annika Sorenstam. Absolutely, the Haskins Award is for 131 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: the best male collegiate golfer voted by their peers and coaches, 132 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: and the Anika is the is the correlation for the women. 133 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: What does it take? Because you got your your hands 134 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: in a lot here, a lot of great sports. It 135 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: you must be stretched to the limit because you know, 136 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: you've got top athletes all over the place, UH, and 137 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: you've got you've got a good map of what it 138 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: takes to help these athletes bring in sponsorships and bring 139 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: in more sponsorships and more sponsorships. What do you tell them? Yeah, 140 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: you know that the athletes we want to be themselves. Okay, 141 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: we like, uh, you know, we obviously want them to 142 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: be good, you know, citizens and good good for their community. 143 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: What then they are, you know, and that's that's what 144 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: we we want to see. Take college golf for example, 145 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: Just think about it. You've got kids that carry their 146 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: own bags. You know, they're they're not making the money 147 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: yet they golf, the sport where you keep your own score, 148 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: your call, your penalties on yourself. You know, all of 149 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: these moral um qualities that we value. So they you know, 150 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: they always say to me, you know, what do you 151 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: want me to do to UM, to sponsor or to 152 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: promote stiful And my answer is, I will just be 153 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: in your back light. You be good, and I get 154 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: to associate with you, and when you're good, I get 155 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: the I get the back light, which I like the 156 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: halo effect. Right there you go, Ron, I want to 157 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: we can't let you go without getting your take on 158 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: the overall economy. But I want to hear about your 159 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: view on the overall economy through the prism of what's 160 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: going on in sports and sports rights. UM. People talk 161 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: about live sports as its own asset class, or at 162 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: least sports adjacent assets as their own asset class, because 163 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: it's not correlated with the equity market the bond market 164 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: in the same way that other traditional securities are. We've 165 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: seen how sports rights values have just continued to climb, 166 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: and the NBA TV rights, I'm sure we'll fetch a 167 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: record amounts of money after the um current contract ends. 168 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: How do you look at, uh, these values of teams, 169 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: evaluations of teams and the sports rights in the current environment, 170 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: when we are facing a slowing economy, possibly a recession, 171 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: certainly tough times for the rest of this year, maybe 172 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: into next year. That's a great question, and you know 173 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: you got it. Let's go back a few years to 174 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: try to answer the question, because um, you obviously could. 175 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: I I would sit there and go it's crazy. I mean, 176 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: we look at what the sports franchise are trading for, 177 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,359 Speaker 1: whether it was Phoenix or Denver in football or basketball 178 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: in the television rights, and you would sit there and say, 179 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: this is crazy. But ten years ago I said it 180 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: was crazy, you know when they when you would see 181 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: what franchises are these rights would trade for. I think 182 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: what it is is the reason that we are in 183 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: the business of of associating with sports, and that is 184 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: it is you know, it's American, it's competitiveness, and the 185 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: consumer likes that they like watching these athletes, they relate, 186 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: and therefore the value just skyrockets. And I think the 187 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: pandemic actually, you know, increase the value because it's just um, 188 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: it's it's what people like to do and it makes 189 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it makes you feel good. Uh. And so any any 190 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: business that you do where you were, you know, the 191 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: clients or the consumer walks out feeling good, that's a 192 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: valuable business. That's what's going on in sports. I want 193 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: to brag on you before we let you go, if 194 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: you want. In twenty nineteen, the Horatio Algier Award UH 195 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,239 Speaker 1: selected for membership in the Algier Association of Distinguished Americans, 196 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: which honors individuals who have overcome adversity to achieve success 197 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and who have demonstrated commitment to higher education and charitable endeavors. 198 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the adversity you had to 199 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: go through to win that award? You know, first of all, 200 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: that was very nice of you to mention that it 201 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: was one of the greatest honors of my life, let 202 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: alone career. UM. Yet in some ways, my adversity, which 203 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: was simply, you know, coming from a family where I 204 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: was the first to go to college and uh and 205 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: you know then in the university if you will, about 206 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: you know, climbing through that today you know, having the 207 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: fortunate being the CEO of a great public company. UM. 208 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: But I have to say, when you look at Horatial 209 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: Alger and you talk about real adversity, which is broken families, 210 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: potential of drugs, I don't hold a candle to that.
