    Private Jets, Billionaires, and Solo Cups · Inside ALUM With CEO David Vialli

    https://www.skyboxmedia.com/ Private Jets, Billionaires, and Solo Cups · Inside ALUM With CEO David Vialli David Vialli was standing in a Tuscaloosa townhome during the Texas-Alabama game when a broker looked around the room and said, "Just by the way, there's four private jets in this room and about $30 billion in net worth." Everyone was drinking high-end tequila out of Solo cups. That moment became ALUM. ALUM is the first luxury condo hotel and private members club built specifically for college markets. The flagship project in Tuscaloosa is 116,000 square feet, 68 units priced from $819,000 to $1.7 million, operated by Legends, with Derek Jeter as a board advisor and investor. In this episode, David breaks down the full model: how condo presales fund the entire project before the doors open, how he screens a college town, why Soho House's mistakes don't apply here, and what 10 to 12 open locations looks like by 2031. That 2023 Texas-Alabama game drew over 300 private jet landings. The Masters gets a little over 400. The airport maxed out and had to redirect overflow, and several hotels charged $2,500 to $3,500 a night. The club already exists. ALUM is building the clubhouse.

    The Athlete Money Playbook · 5-Year NFL Vet Victor Abiamiri, Partner at Brown Advisory

    https://www.skyboxmedia.com/ Victor Abiamiri spent five seasons as a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles after starring at Notre Dame and Baltimore's Gilman School. Today he is a partner and portfolio manager at Brown Advisory, the $175 billion, colleague-owned investment firm where he first interned as a college student, and a leader of the firm's new Sports Initiative. Brent sat down with Victor in person at the PAC Accelerate conference. Victor walks through the injuries that ended his career and the dark stretch that followed, and how a finance degree, a high school internship in his coach Biff Poggi's family office, and a summer at Brown Advisory gave him a place to land. He explains what younger players ask him most, why so many athletes overestimate the cash they actually have, and the fundamentals he wishes every rookie understood: invest early, know your time horizon, respect taxes and expenses, and plan for the second contract that may never come. They also get into the Nigerian immigrant household that shaped his work ethic, what film review teaches you about accountability in business, the Notre Dame teammates who built second careers (Brady Quinn, Ryan Harris, John Sullivan), and how Brown Advisory is applying its entrepreneur playbook to athletes, team owners, and executives across the sports economy. Under The Number is produced by Skybox, a sports economy media and advisory company. More at www.skyboxmedia.com.
