Introduction
Start Here: What This Series Is
This is an educational series built for athletes and entertainment professionals. It is not financial advice, investment advice, legal advice or tax advice, and nothing in it should be used as the basis for a financial decision. What it is instead is a map. Most athletes and entertainers reach the peak of their earning power without a clear picture of the landscape around them, the options available to them, or the professional ecosystem that shapes long-term wealth. This series was built to change that. It draws on more than 100 conversations with investors and operators and over 70 podcast guests, translating how the people who build and buy the best businesses in sport actually think about capital, ownership and structure. Every situation is different. Treat these five playbooks as the starting point for conversations with qualified professionals, not a replacement for them.
