Kyle Kuzma's New Media Project: NBA Star Launches Commercial Podcast (Exclusive)

Milwaukee Bucks' leading and enthusiastic investor is launching 'The Reading Room,' where he talks with founders, investors, scientists and other guests.

When most NBA players get into the media business, it's usually to start a sports podcast. Not Kyle Kuzma. The Milwaukee Bucks star is launching a podcast, but unlike most athlete-led productions, his project will be all commercial.

Kuzma is launching Read the Room, a business podcast where he'll talk about investing, starting companies, and taking risks with founders, business leaders, scientists, and maybe the occasional athlete or two. The first season will feature 15 guests, including game creator and entrepreneur Bryant and noted entrepreneur, author and founder of Valuetainment, Patrick Bett David.

The podcast will launch later this month on Invested Inc., a platform founded by entrepreneur Brandon Harris.

"I've always been curious about how people think, what drives them, and what motivates them to take risks and pursue big ideas," says Kuzma. "Over the past few years, I've spent a lot of time learning about different industries, investing in companies I believe in, and building relationships with some truly incredible entrepreneurs and leaders. These conversations have taught me so much and opened my mind to new ways of thinking. With Read the Room, I want to bring people into those conversations, learn interesting questions, ask interesting questions of others to do different things. And discover their own opportunities. do."

“At Invested, we're focused on creating original formats that are fun and entertaining,” Imheris added. His curiosity, originality and relationships across industries make him the perfect person to bring these conversations to a wider audience. "Read the Room is exactly the kind of show we started investing to create."
