## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with Parker Graham, former pro athlete and Founder and CEO of Vestible, to talk about democratizing sports ownership and creating access beyond billionaires and private equity. Parker shares how his single mother’s grit shaped his drive, why education became his foundation, and how his background in wealth management led him into FinTech. We also talk about building real community through in-person relationships, email, loyalty, and shared ownership. From European soccer clubs to secondary markets, Parker explains how Vestible is giving everyday fans a new way to participate in the business of sports.
