“We’re here. We’re ready to go.”

About this episode

Ryan Smith is the owner of the Utah Jazz and Real Salt Lake. He is also the executive chairman and co-founder of Qualtrics, an experience management company based out of Provo, Utah. He has expressed interest in owning an NHL team and has had conversations with the league about why he feels Utah is ready for the NHL.

Jeff and Elliotte chat with Ryan about his journey, how he got into sports ownership, relocation or expansion, why Utah makes sense, surrounding himself with smart people, taking risks, working with Danny Ainge, some of his mentors, what he’s passionate about, and his friendship with Wayne Gretzky and Jon Cooper.
