America's Sport of the Future becomes the Sport of Now with Roger Bennett
If you’ve followed the rise of soccer in the United States – America’s sport of the future since 1971 – you know his voice, you know his humor, you know his unrivaled passion. He is Roger Bennett, the co-founder of the Men in Blazers Media Network. By the way I stole the line about the sport of the future from Rog, who likes to say some version of that at the beginning of his podcasts. We are speaking to Rog at a truly monumental moment for his beloved sport. The World Cup is finally here, running in 16 cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico – but mostly the United States Rog insists here, now, finally, with the world’s eyes on America’s stewardship of the most glorious sporting event on earth – this will be the moment it officially becomes the sport of the now. Not just during the World Cup, but after it. In this episode, we trace the incredible journey of Men in Blazers—from a “janky” (his words) podcast that paid him $250 an episode to a sprawling independent media empire with TV shows, live tours, and a recent Series A venture round of $15 million to expand ahead of this World Cup – the first time Men in Blazers has taken outside funding. Rog opens up about the business of modern sports media, how major blue-chip brands like Budweiser and Bank of America became characters in his ecosystem, and the fascinating, controversial "Americanization" of the global game.

The Walmart blueprint: CEO John Furner’s first interview in the top job
Four months ago, John Furner took the helm as CEO of Walmart Inc. after a lifetime at the company. Today, he’s steering a “people-led, tech-powered” transformation of the world’s largest retailer, which employs more than 2 million people worldwide. Furner has already centralized Walmart’s historically fragmented tech and product divisions under unified leadership in an attempt to supercharge enterprise-wide products and services—especially AI capabilities. As thousands of Walmart employees descend on Arkansas for the company’s annual Associates Week, Furner sat down for his first in-depth conversation in his new role. He discussed everything from leading through a moment of massive change to turning forklift operators and developers alike into AI builders.

Hollywood and the Creator Economy are Colliding
Hollywood talent agencies have evolved far beyond the Michael Ovitz era, Ari from Entourage, and the whole mailroom-to-boardroom archetype. Today they're billion-dollar cultural powerhouses navigating AI transformation, creator economies, and the convergence of entertainment, sports, and corporate strategy. David Kramer embodies this evolution—he started in UTA's mailroom in 1992 when it was a 50-person literary agency and has spent 34 years at the company. He’s about to celebrate his one-year anniversary as CEO. Under Kramer's leadership, UTA has radically diversified beyond traditional film and television representation, which he says now comprises just 40% of the business, compared to 95% fifteen years ago. The agency's portfolio spans pop-music giants like Bad Bunny and John Legend, LeBron James and other athletes via its Klutch Sports, digital-native creators like Alex Cooper and Mr. Beast, and corporate advisory for Coca-Cola, Google and other brands. This transformation reflects a broader industry shift where creators want traditional entertainment opportunities and legacy talent seeks digital platforms. Basically, everybody wants a piece of what everyone else is doing. It’s a complex convergence, and Kramer is right at the middle of it.
