1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm Alex Rodriguez. I'm a former New York Yankee and

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: played professional baseball for over twenty years. Almost that entire time,

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking about business.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: And I'm Jason Kelly. I've been a business journalist at

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: Bloomberg for more than two decades, and across my career,

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: I've covered everything from the Olympics to Wall Street.

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: From Bloomberg, This is the Deal. Each week you're here

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: us in conversation with business icons.

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: And this show will explore deal making across sports, media

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: and entertainment. For Maria Sharapova, I want to win with

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: people that know how to lose. To Michael Strahan, the

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: city eat you alive.

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: But being here in New York has meant the world

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: of me because it's opened up so many opportunities that's

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: given me my life away from the game of football.

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: To Derek Jeter, Alex did me a favor.

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: He signed a long term deal before me, you know

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: what I mean, So I sort of piggybacked off of

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: his deal.

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: This is a show where we talk with big time

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: athletes and executives about the wins, the losses, and lessons

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: learned along the way.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: That is a harsh lesson in business.

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Sports is not as simple as bringing a bunch of

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 2: big names together.

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do another stop you out speech.

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: I'm a blue collar kid, and I think that's something

28
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: that gets so it opened up so many more doors.

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640
