Basketball Buds with Ryen Russillo: Steph vs System, Dad LeBron, Fultz

Ndamukong sits down with Rich Kleiman–a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur best known as NBA star Kevin Durant’s agent and business partner. Rich talks about how his early hustle as a bookie and music manager led him into the world of sports and, eventually, to his partnership with KD–with whom he’s founded Boardroom and 35 Ventures. He shares how his biggest breaks –across music, sports, and investing–ultimately came when he showed up as his true self, forged relationships, and figured out how to “move around the room".Host: Ndamukong SuhExecutive Producer: Grace Piro DeliaProducer: Danny SellersEditor: David CaputoInstagram: @nofreelunchshowTik Tok:@nofreelunchshowhttps://www.youtube.com/@NoFreeLunchWithSuh-------T.
