Maryland politics is entering one of its most consequential election cycles in years.

On this episode of ⁠⁠Campaign Trail: The Road to Congress⁠⁠, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with ⁠⁠Berney Flowers⁠⁠, Republican candidate for Maryland's 3rd Congressional District, to discuss the issues shaping the state's political and economic future.

The conversation begins with Maryland's controversial redistricting proposal, as Berney explains why he believes the latest map represents an attempt to reshape congressional representation and influence future elections. Todd and Berney discuss how the proposed changes could impact Maryland voters and the balance of political power in Washington.

The discussion then turns to breaking news surrounding the Preakness Stakes. With the race moving to Sunday beginning in 2027, Todd and Berney examine what the decision means for Maryland's horse racing industry, tourism, and one of the state's most recognizable sporting traditions. They also debate the significant public investment made to secure the Preakness intellectual property and redevelop Pimlico Race Course, questioning whether taxpayers will ultimately see a meaningful return on that investment.

Berney outlines his campaign priorities, including restoring fiscal accountability, improving infrastructure, reducing the tax burden on Maryland families and businesses, and increasing government transparency through stronger financial oversight and audits.

The conversation also explores the realities of modern political campaigns. Berney discusses his grassroots fundraising strategy, why he prefers to remain independent of outside political influences, and how his campaign is working to connect directly with voters across Maryland's 3rd District.

Finally, Todd previews Biz Talk Today TV's upcoming live coverage of Berney's August campaign events and discusses why Maryland's 3rd District could become one of the state's most closely watched congressional races.

If you're interested in Maryland politics, public policy, fiscal responsibility, and the future of the state's economy, this episode provides an informative look at one candidate's vision for Congress.

Who really controls the value of sports?

On this episode of Franchise Value, co-hosts Shana Orczyk Sissel, CEO & Founder of Banrion Capital Management and author of the upcoming book Tough Minded (available November 10), and Todd M. Schoenberger explore the biggest financial stories reshaping the sports industry.

The conversation begins with FIFA's growing controversy after reports that World Cup host cities never received the legacy funding they believed had been promised—despite FIFA generating approximately $15 billion during the World Cup cycle. The discussion examines what happens when sports organizations maximize revenue while local communities absorb the costs.

Shana and Todd also analyze FIFA's failed attempt to sell a minority stake in its commercial business to private equity investors. Why did the proposal collapse in less than a week? What can FIFA learn from the NFL's carefully structured approach to institutional investment? And why is private equity becoming increasingly important as professional sports franchise valuations continue to soar?

The discussion shifts to Major League Baseball following one of the most aggressive trade deadlines in recent memory. With the Dodgers once again flexing their financial muscle, the hosts examine whether baseball's luxury tax system is still effective, why the next Collective Bargaining Agreement could determine the league's financial future, and whether salary caps—or salary floors—are inevitable.

The episode also explores the rapidly changing business of horse racing after Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association unveiled a new championship series that excludes the Preakness Stakes. Is this simply smart business, or does it threaten one of America's most historic sporting traditions?

Throughout the conversation, Shana provides the institutional investor's perspective on franchise valuations, media rights, private equity, competitive balance, and why ownership of intellectual property has become one of the most valuable assets in professional sports.

The episode concludes with a preview of Shana's forthcoming book, Tough Minded, available November 10, and why early pre-orders can play an important role in helping the book reach a broader audience.

If you're interested in the intersection of sports, investing, business strategy, and media rights, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
