Power Players with Brian Sozzi

Yahoo Finance

Hosted by Executive Editor Brian Sozzi, Power Players ditches the news desk for high-octane, unscripted discussions with the titans of industry. This 30-minute series blends conversational depth with market energy to uncover the "near-death" origin stories and "midnight" pressures that keep global CEOs up at night. Beyond the balance sheets, viewers gain actionable intel on AI, market shifts, and the tactical mindsets needed to win. Filmed at Yahoo Finance HQ, the Nasdaq, or on location,  it is a raw, free-flowing look at the real individuals shaping Corporate America.
