  • Investing in Professional Sports: The Journey of the Utah Warriors Rugby Team with Kimball KjarIn this episode of Passive Income Adventures, host Emma Powell sits down with Kimball Kjar, the driving force behind the Utah Warriors rugby team. Kimball shares the unique journey of establishing and sustaining a professional rugby team in North America, overcoming financial and operational challenges, and the passionate community support involved. They delve into the business dynamics of sports investments, the synergies between various sports teams in Salt Lake City, and the personal sacrifices made along the way. Discover insights on how sports can significantly impact communities and the long-term investment strategies required to build a successful sports brand.Bio:I didn’t wake up one day and say to myself, “I’d like to start a professional rugby team.” In fact, I was more than happy doing what I was doing at the time. But the thing that attracted me to this business was the impact sports has on communities—especially for kids.Community identities are built and sustained by sports. Everyone knows what it means to be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and everyone knows what the Lakers mean to the city of Los Angeles. Rivalries between Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of Utah are something that can literally divide families along blue or red lines.This type of passion is something very few businesses can replicate. You don’t see downtown parades celebrating Amazon’s annual earnings reports, even if they beat all industry expectations, do you? Nor do you often see adults and children wearing hoodies, hats or jackets with the logos of General Electric or Berkshire Hathaway. The power of sports teams is unrivaled in the level of impact that they can have on individuals, families, businesses—and, above all—our youth.Kimball Kjar is an American former rugby union international.Kimball, born and raised in Salt Lake City, attended Bountiful High School.
