Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Carlie Irsay-Gordon: Stewarding a Legacy Shaping the Future
Q: Most important business concern to you now on a six-month horizon and then on a six-year horizon.
In the near term, she wants the team to put the best product on the field. Longer term, she wants to adapt to changing fan expectations and consider stadium, practice-facility, and downtown improvements.
Carlie Irsay-Gordon: Stewarding a Legacy Shaping the Future
Q: How do you fit in to that ownership leadership? What's the best way you can contribute to the league and not just the Colts?
Irsay-Gordon sees herself as a bridge between generations and says her committee work lets her contribute through experience, listening, and thoughtful questions.
Herb Simon: Reflections on a Lifetime of Leadership
Q: What did you want your ownership philosophy to be and what did you want ownership to stand for?
Simon says he and his brother did not initially formalize an ownership philosophy because they were busy building their other business. In later years, his approach emphasized caring for people, letting capable employees run the organization, and supporting long-term ideas.
Herb Simon: Reflections on a Lifetime of Leadership
Q: What made you and your brother come to Indiana?
His brother was stationed in Indiana, fell in love with the state, and began working for a local real estate developer. After college and a few years' delay, Herb moved there for work and came to regard Indiana as home.
Dana White: UFC Media and Business Landscape
Q: What is your approach to developing new talent for the UFC?
White outlines a grassroots approach, ongoing scouting, leveraging Contender Series, and a focus on building a pipeline through international clinics and training facilities.
