Most investors run from distressed businesses, troubled markets, and uncertainty. Soo Kim runs toward them. On this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, Jeffrey sits down with Soo Kim, Managing Partner and CIO of Standard General and Chairman of Bally's Corporation, to discuss why the biggest opportunities often hide where others refuse to look.

From his early days analyzing failing retailers and restaurants to leading
investments in gaming, media, and complex turnaround situations, Kim shares the mindset required to identify value in distressed assets, build conviction when others lose faith, and uncover opportunity in what he calls "the seams" of the market.

Jeffrey and Soo explore leadership during crisis, the role of belief and honesty in corporate turnarounds, how to find hidden champions inside struggling organizations, and why successful investors must constantly adapt as conditions change. They also discuss the evolution of Wall Street, the rise of algorithmic investing, and why fundamental analysis still matters in a world increasingly driven by machines.
