My guest today is Corey Kluber. For those who don’t follow baseball, Corey Kluber was a 3-time MLB all star and one of the great pitchers of the last decade. Today, he takes us on quick tour through his career and what it takes to succeed as an elite athlete. We also talk about the market for athletes, his strong views on childhood athletics, his plans for the future and more. As a Boston resident, it was an honor and privilege to interview a former star from the Boston Red Sox. Please enjoy this episode with Corey Kluber.

Eric Golden hosts Making Markets, a podcast that digs into the often unseen mechanics and human behaviors driving how value is assigned and traded. Rather than just analyzing charts or headlines, conversations focus on the underlying architecture-the rules, relationships, and psychology-that defines how any marketplace functions. This approach means that one episode might dissect the familiar terrain of bonds or equities, while the next ventures into the specialized worlds of fine art, cryptocurrency, or even vineyard acquisitions. The common thread is a curiosity about the actual transactions and the people who facilitate them, providing a tangible sense of what occurs when assets change hands. By speaking with practitioners and experts each week, the show demystifies the complex systems that form the backbone of global commerce, offering listeners a clearer picture of economic forces at work. As part of the Colossus network of investing and business podcasts, Making Markets builds a comprehensive library of knowledge, turning abstract concepts into accessible narratives. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered about the real-world machinery operating behind the curtain of daily financial news.
