Private Equity Is Changing Sports Forever | The Business Behind the Celtics, NBA & Billion-Dollar Franchises

Private Equity Is Changing Sports Forever | The Business Behind the Celtics, NBA & Billion-Dollar Franchises

Welcome to the debut episode of Franchise Value—the newest original series on Biz Talk Today TV, where sports meets capital. Hosted by Todd M. Schoenberger and featuring Shana Sissel, CEO & Founder of Banrion Capital Management and author of Tough Minded, Franchise Value explores the business decisions driving the world's most valuable sports assets. In this premiere episode, Todd and Shana break down one of the biggest stories in professional basketball—the blockbuster Boston Celtics trade involving Jaylen Brown—and explain why the move was driven more by basketball strategy than financial engineering. The conversation also takes viewers inside the rapidly growing role of private equity in professional sports, the economics behind soaring franchise valuations, and why streaming has permanently transformed the value of sports media rights. Shana explains why private equity firms are investing billions into sports while remaining limited in operational control, how leagues generate long-term enterprise value through ticket sales, sponsorships, licensing, and regional media rights, and why winning championships still delivers the greatest return on investment. Plus, why the WNBA may represent one of the most compelling growth opportunities in all of professional sports. 🏀 Was the Celtics' Jaylen Brown trade about basketball—or business? 💰 How private equity is reshaping sports ownership 📈 Why franchise values continue reaching record highs 📺 The streaming battle fueling higher media rights 🏆 Why winning championships creates lasting enterprise value 🌟 Why the WNBA may be the next great sports investment opportunity Whether you're an investor, sports fan, business executive, or simply curious about the economics behind billion-dollar franchises, Franchise Value is your weekly destination for understanding where sports and capital intersect.

AI Is NOT Over | Rhys Williams Says the Buildout Is Still in the Early Innings

Is Wall Street giving up on AI too soon? As investors question massive AI capital spending and semiconductor stocks stumble to begin the third quarter, Wayve Capital CIO Rhys Williams explains why he believes the AI investment story is far from over. In this clip from Wayve Wire [https://youtu.be/7OeiY7-rqME?si=9CLxHyf8vkGw4PD3], Rhys discusses the growing debate surrounding AI infrastructure, Meta's long-term AI ambitions, comments from Palantir CEO Alex Karp, and why portfolio managers are facing one of the biggest investment decisions of 2026. Despite recent weakness in AI-related stocks, Rhys believes the industry remains in the early innings of its infrastructure buildout—not the final chapter. Watch now for his latest outlook on AI, semiconductors, and what investors should be watching next. Wayve Wire is hosted by Todd M. Schoenberger and features Rhys Williams, CIO of Wayve Capital. 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://biztalktodaytv.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support@biztalktodaytv.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Download the Biz Talk Today TV app on Apple & Android devices. 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this program are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media Inc., Biz Talk Today TV (BTT), or their affiliated entities and distribution partners.
