War & the World Cup: Navigating America's Global Sports Decade | Elevation Live! with Kevin Baron

The United States, host to the largest sporting event in history, "just invaded one of the participants and killed their their leader." That's unprecedented.

Not yet, says Travis Murphy, CEO of Jetr Global Sport + Entertainment, which operates across sports, immigration, business, policy, and diplomacy. Travis, a former official in the State Department's sport diplomacy division, talks to Kevin Baron about today's challenges facing the U.S, why sports diplomacy has become way more than "soft" power and how stakeholders are navigating geopolitics and war on the way to the playing field.

Wells, chief operating officer of the veteran-owned company. “The world’s first professional autonomous motorsports team” is that and much more, thanks to partnerships with NVIDIA and Booz Allen, and a purpose-driven mission to develop young talent. We hung out with O.G. at Austin's Capital Factory tech hub over F1 race weekend, and with Code 19 Racing CEO Lawrence Walter on a visit to Booz Allen in Washington, D.C. Here's what we learned.
