Alex Rodriguez has partnered up with Barstool Sports' personality Dan Katz, aka Big Cat, for a seven-episode podcast dubbed "The Corp" - a reference to Rodriguez’s holding company, A-Rod Corp
All seven episodes will launch this Thursday, December 6, featuring guests such as Kobe Bryant, Gary Vaynerchuk, Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin, "Shark Tank" personality Barbara Corcoran, New York Sports radio personality Mike Francesa and Starwood Hotels founder Barry Sternlicht.
The series will cover business success and failure.
“All of our guests had one thing in common: they all had miserable falls,” says Rodriguez, according to Yahoo Sports. “And they all had the ability to get back up, dust off, and redefine themselves. That jumped off the page to me, and how much they own their failures. And I speak a lot about my situation and my comeback.”
Katz, co-host of Barstool Sports' wildly popular Pardon My Take podcast, says, “I wanted to do something different, because I think there’s a little bit of saturation and exhaustion in podcasts. So instead of constantly promoting a new episode every week, this is all there at once, you can binge-listen to it. And they’re evergreen — this is something you could listen to in a year from now. I also wanted it to be different from PMT, because I won’t beat around the bush, PMT is my passion and my love and what I wake up excited to do every day. This way it doesn’t feel like it’s taking away from my bread and butter.”
