David Rubenstein: Why Owners Care About Winning, Not Money

About this episode

James talks with Carlyle cofounder and Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein about his new book, Inside the Owner’s Box: Conversations on Power and Leadership in Sports. David explains why buying a sports team is unlike buying a normal business, why spending more doesn’t guarantee winning, what makes a good negotiator, how he evaluates people who know more than he does, and why fans can feel successful through a team they don’t own.
