Christopher Zook: Chairman of CAZ Investments & co-author of "The Holy Grail of Investing"

Back in the day, if you wanted to call yourself a sports team owner, one of 2 things had to happen. You either had to be born into a crazy rich family that already owned a team, or you had to make a fortune somewhere else and buy the team from one of those previously mentioned crazy rich families.

But my guest in this episode, Christopher Zook, wants you to know that’s not necessarily the case anymore.


Here’s the deal.


Christopher is the Founder and CIO of CAZ Investments, one of the largest private equity firms in the world. He’s also just written a book with legendary leadership guru Tony Robbins called "The Holy Grail of Investing".


The book feature interviews with some of the world's most prolific and successful investors, and reveals the secrets behind their successes, their challenges, and (perhaps most interestingly) where they’re looking for their next wins. And, as it turns out, one of those places in professional sports ownership.


In our conversation, Christopher and I talk about how professional sports first got on his radar as an investment opportunity. He also goes into what he’s anticipating for the growth of sports businesses, and how smart investors can position themselves to take advantage of pro sports.
