We're dropping in a special bonus episode - our latest podcast from the Equity Mates team - The Dive. In this episode, Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city, was announced it was selected to host the 2032 Olympics. And when it happens, the eyes of the world will turn to Australia. No small amount of eyeballs either - when Tokyo hosted, the Olympics reached more than 3 billion viewers. Yet, despite all the attention… the Olympics is a terrible business proposition. A study from Oxford found that since 1960, every Olympics has run over budget, by an average of 172%. Today Sascha and Darcy ask - exactly how bad a financial decision is hosting the Olympics?Tell us what you think of The Dive - email us at thedive@equitymates.com.*****Order Get Started Investing on Booktopia or Amazon now. If you want to let Alec or Bryce know what you think of an episode, contact them here. Make sure you don't miss anything about Equity Mates - visit this page if you want to support our work.Want more Equity Mates?
