Hey there, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with

Andrew Brand. I'm Andrew Brand. And the music underscoring me is from my son, Sam Brand.

Got a special edition of the Business of Sports podcast this week. PJ Washington, a player

for the Charlotte Hornets, has become investable, if you will, a company called Sport BLX.

It's kind of, you remember fan text back in the day. You could buy shares of players,

and now you can do that with BJ Washington. I saw it in the news. I thought it was a really

unique thing, unique offering, and it meshes business and sports

perfectly right in our wheelhouse here on the podcast. So without further ado, we have the co-founder

of Sport BLX and the investable player of Port BLX, his name from the Charlotte Hornets, PJ Washington.

So guys, welcome to the Business of Sports Podcast.

Good to have you.

Thank you, Andrew.

It's good to be here.
