WWE celebrated its 40th edition of WrestleMania at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The global sports entertainment giant turned what was a regionally dominated source of entertainment into leading source of entertainment that provides original content every week of the year. The WWE is not only the innovative sports entertainment segment of TKO, the combined entity with the UFC, but it really is a leading marketing and promotion company. This year, the WWE brought back the Rock, who is a TKO board member, for his first match in eight years. The future continues to be bright for both companies.  For WWE fans, the message to take away is that the Rock was not making a one time appearance in the ring. He is joining the board, but sounds like he will be back and will continue to create value and content in the future.  The biggest transcending superstar back in the fold is great for the brand that continues to grow and find innovative ways to connect to new audiences

    The most watched college basketball game in the history of ESPN was the LSU-Iowa game with a reported audience of 12.3 million. The rematch of last year's final with a berth into the final four on the line. The interest in the women's game is at an all time high, which is a positive for the NCAA.  The women's tournament has more storylines than the men's, who are more impacted to one and done collegiate careers than the women.

  The United States of America is blessed with a free market capitalist economy, which affords people the opportunity to create a better life for themselves through providing goods and services needed. The idea is you provide a needed good or service to those needing them in exchange for compensation. Growth comes in the form of expanding the pool of customers seeking those goods and services. Over time, the organization becomes more operationally efficient, but will face greater competition as more providers enter the market to shrink the profit margins. That is what is supposed to take place in a market economy. In my featured content, I discuss the issues that occur when public policy affords parties the ability curb competition, implement barriers to entry, and change the dynamic of natural markets.

Just the point where the effectiveness of the project is exposed for all to see.  Please experience my recent segment from my podcast, where I discuss different stages I believe are important in executing a plan, where I use football as an example.
