This week on OFFICE OF, Yale Breslin sits down with Rich Kleiman — the powerhouse entrepreneur, longtime manager, and co-founder of Boardroom alongside Kevin Durant. Known for his candor and curiosity, Rich opens up about the moments that shaped him — from hustling on the Upper West Side to managing global superstars and building a media brand rooted in authenticity.

It’s a conversation about truth, trust, and the grind behind the glamour — what it really takes to navigate multiple industries while staying grounded in who you are.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The importance of telling the truth — and how “not lying” became a personal and professional code
• The lessons learned from working with Jay-Z and Mark Ronson, and what collaboration looks like at the highest level
• His partnership with Kevin Durant and the evolution of Boardroom as a modern storytelling platform
• Why not finishing school remains one of his biggest regrets — and what that taught him about growth
• How Rich balances ambition with perspective, family, and self-awareness

Raw, reflective, and refreshingly human — this is the man behind the moves, the meetings, and the media empire.
