Are you taking out a second mortgage to afford the club fees and travel for your youth sport travel teams? Do you love playing video games but find you can't afford to keep playing the game you already bought? This is the episode for you. Private equity is infiltrating all the past times we love, and the greed of capital is pricing us out of the activities we love. Loren Anderson, a volleyball club owner in Oregon and Otis East, a national gaming advocate with the Players Alliance, join Alvaro and Max to discuss the ways private equity is ruining their passions.Check out Loren at https://nomoredrills.substack.com/ and Otis at https://www.playersalliancehq.org/ and https://blerd.com/blog/.Music licensed through Soundstripe.
