WEBVTT - Introducing: The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm Alex Rodriguez. I'm a former New York Yankee and

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>played professional baseball for over twenty years. Almost that entire time,

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about business.

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And I'm Jason Kelly. I've been a business journalist at

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg for more than two decades, and across my career,

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I've covered everything from the Olympics to Wall Street.

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>From Bloomberg, This is the Deal. Each week you're here

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>us in conversation with business icons.

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>And this show will explore deal making across sports, media

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and entertainment. For Maria Sharapova, I want to win with

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>people that know how to lose. To Michael Strahan, the

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>city eat you alive.

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 3>But being here in New York has meant the world

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>of me because it's opened up so many opportunities that's

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 3>given me my life away from the game of football.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>To Derek Jeter, Alex did me a favor.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 4>He signed a long term deal before me, you know

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 4>what I mean, So I sort of piggybacked off of

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 4>his deal.

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>This is a show where we talk with big time

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>athletes and executives about the wins, the losses, and lessons

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>learned along the way.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 4>That is a harsh lesson in business.

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Sports is not as simple as bringing a bunch of

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:09.919
<v Speaker 2>big names together.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want to do another stop you out speech.

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm a blue collar kid, and I think that's something

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>that gets so it opened up so many more doors.

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>The show is called The Deal. Listen to The Deal
