But his latest move is the most personal one yet: becoming majority owner of Melbourne United, the basketball team he grew up watching. In this wide-ranging chat, Aaron talks about crossing the line from fan to owner, building a legacy in Australian basketball, and why balance isn\u2019t about splitting your time evenly \u2014 it\u2019s about being all-in, wherever you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve spoken about growing up watching basketball and now owning a team. What\u2019s it like crossing that line from fan to owner, and what does the NBL mean to you today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I grew up glued to the game, whether it was backyard basketball with mates or watching the NBA &amp; NBL as a kid. To now sit courtside as an owner is surreal\u2014it\u2019s like crossing a line you don\u2019t even think exists when you\u2019re young. For me, the NBL isn\u2019t just a league, it\u2019s a living, breathing community. It\u2019s families in the stands, kids wearing jerseys with dreams in their eyes, and the heartbeat of a sport that represents resilience and growth in Australia. Being an owner of Melbourne United means I\u2019m not just a fan anymore\u2014I\u2019m a custodian helping shape the next chapter of basketball here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From a business perspective, what\u2019s your vision for Melbourne United and Australian basketball more broadly? Where do you see the biggest opportunities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From a business perspective, Melbourne United is already the most recognisable basketball brand in the country, but there\u2019s still so much untapped potential. I see huge opportunities in digital fan engagement, expanding our global footprint, and building new commercial models that create shared upside between clubs and the league. More broadly, Australian basketball is perfectly placed. Our athletes succeed on the world stage, participation is booming, and the appetite for live sport is only growing. If we do this right, the NBL can be the second-biggest sport in the country within the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve built a portfolio spanning nearly 80 companies. What\u2019s your day-to-day like now, and how do you decide where to focus your energy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My day-to-day is about rhythm and focus. I\u2019ve built a portfolio that spans nearly 80 companies, but I don\u2019t try to do everything. Instead, I invest my energy where I can create the most leverage\u2014big strategic calls, unlocking new partnerships, or mentoring leaders to step up. I operate on the principle of impact: where can my decision, my time, or my network move the needle most? That\u2019s where I lean in. The rest is handled by exceptional teams and operators in my private equity firm, Sansoni Management that oversees the day-to-day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scaling.com.au and EmpireOne both aim to support founders in practical ways. What gaps in the startup ecosystem are you most passionate about solving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Scaling.com.au and EmpireOne were born from a simple frustration: too many founders are left to figure it out alone. Scaling is about giving them the playbook\u2014connections, partnerships, growth strategies\u2014while EmpireOne is about giving them infrastructure, so they don\u2019t waste years building what could be in place tomorrow. The gap I\u2019m most passionate about solving is speed. Founders don\u2019t lack ideas or drive; they lack time and proven pathways. I want to collapse that distance between where they are and where they could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you reflect on your journey\u2014from humble beginnings in Melbourne to the AFR Young Rich List\u2014what principles or habits have been key to staying grounded and driven?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will never forget growing up in Melbourne without much\u2014no silver spoon, no shortcuts. That grounding has been my compass. The principles that keep me steady are discipline, service, and hunger. Discipline to keep showing up, service to always think bigger than yourself, and hunger to never settle, even when things are good. My habits are simple: I reflect daily, I keep my circle tight, and I make sure I\u2019m always learning. Those basics keep me both grounded and driven, no matter how big the stage gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does balance look like for you these days? How do you maintain perspective and energy across business, sport, and life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, balance isn\u2019t about equal hours\u2014it\u2019s about being fully present in whatever moment I\u2019m in. When I\u2019m courtside, I\u2019m an owner and a fan. When I\u2019m in a boardroom, I\u2019m a builder. When I&#8217;m home, I\u2019m a husband and a dad. The key is perspective. Sport has taught me that the scoreboard resets every game, and life works the same way. I prioritise energy and time\u2014if I protect my energy with the right habits, I can show up fully for business, sport, and most importantly, my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/why-aaron-sansoni-thinks-the-nbl-can-rival-the-nba\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Why Aaron Sansoni Thinks the NBL Can Rival the NBA &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":82068,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[130],"class_list":["post-82066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews","tag-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
