Today’s guest is Roger Mitchell, founder of Albachiara, which offers consultancy services and does early stage venture investing, mostly around sports and entertainment. Roger began his career in finance and later became the inaugural Chief Executive of the Scottish Premier League in 1998.

In today’s episode, Roger walks through topics from his new book, Sport’s Perfect Storm: An Industry Now Totally Adrift. Roger explains how the rise of new media platforms, changing demographics, and the increasing importance of gambling and fantasy sports are reshaping the sports industry landscape.
