When my father died I lost the one guy who taught me about manhood.

You Asked. We answered. Sports, growth and hard truths. @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder openly respond to the hard hitting questions sent in. youtu.be/7MdZ_v-g1WM

“Holy sh*t, these guys are really trying to put bets in with me”- @richkleiman Before Rich Kleiman dropped out of Boston University he accidentally became the town’s most prominent bookie. It was a chance encounter & a phone call that turned him into the go to guy to place your bets. The enterprise spread to other states. It all gave him an identity. College life was great to him! @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #RichKleiman #BoardRoom #Bookie youtu.be/Sejt0oupO3M

What do we have here!?! 👏 One of the biggest compliments we hear from people when they meet us or are around us- “Wow, you guys really are the same in life as on the show.” We are who we are and it’s built an unbreakable bond.

“There was… this Halo around this man”.- Rich Kleiman on Jay Z @richkleiman’s career was always about seeing two plays ahead. So, there was no surprise when he was a producer on Jay Z’s doc “Fade to Black”. The lessons he learned there were invaluable. At the time record labels were everything. It wasn’t just the music, but a brand. Everyone wanted to be down. Rich quickly realized those were the stickiest businesses to be connected to. @thePivot on @youtube & streaming. #ThePivot #JayZ #FadeToBlack #RichKleiman #Business youtu.be/Sejt0oupO3M

“These guys think my name is Tom Kilman, but I can’t be Tom Kilman… Sr?”- @richkleiman Rich Kleiman loved playing basketball , but no matter how he tried basketball didn’t love him back. The straw that broke the camel’s back was a hoop camp where the directors didn’t list his name on any roster. Eventually, he realized they all thought his name was Tom Kilman Sr. It’s probably time for a new career path when they don’t remember your name. @thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #RichKleiman #HoopDreams #TomKilmanSr youtu.be/Sejt0oupO3M

“If Jaden Ivey was Anthony Edwards he would still be on the team” Jaden Ivey’s release isn’t just about the consequences of free speech. It’s about the tolerance that extreme talent affords you. Had he played more than 30, 33, & 4 in the past three years his actions could be forgiven. It’s not uncommon to hear the things he said in today’s political & religious climate. He’s just not good enough to say it. It feels like he’s going through something, & I pray those close to him are there with him through this time. @Thepivot, Full video out Friday on @youtube. #ThePivot #JadenIvey #MentalHealth #FreeSpeech

“There’s a difference between earning and building wealth.” — @richkleiman From bookie to Boardroom…the journey wasn’t always clean, but it was calculated and in this episode, Rich breaks down how he turned street lessons into strategy, and strategy into a sports & media empire. From building with Kevin Durant to learning from Jay Z, this is a masterclass in vision, trust, and playing the long game. This conversation reveals how loyalty balances risk while highlighting evolution, growth and seeing opportunities where others don’t. This isn’t just about money…It’s about legacy. If you’re building something bigger than yourself—this one hits differently. youtu.be/Sejt0oupO3M Tap in now to new episode streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube drop your thoughts ⬇️ #KevinDurant #entrepreneur #wealth #sports #podcast @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“We’re the Savanah Bananas… but we’re also humans that have real feelings, real emotions”- @TheSavBananas Jackson Olson @jacksonolson__ is 1 of the Bananas’ biggest stars. He’s entertaining, but also inspirational. Jackson loves to connect his story to the story of his fans. Like the time he & his father celebrated his journey playing catch at @redsox’ famed Fenway Park. The sentimental moment didn’t last too long though. The Olsons are @yankees’ fans. 😂 @thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #SavanahBananas #Inspiration #MondayMotivation #JacksonOlsen youtu.be/AXDa3nVoN00

@minakimes Earned our fav!! Let’s go!

“Ain’t no more trauma bonding… Are you adding to my peace or taking away from it”- @Jeezy Jeezy has learned in relationships its quality over quantity. He only wants healthy relationships in his life. That goes in love and in friendship. It’s about accountability, & trust. When you’re from where he is from those things are hard to come by, but when you’ve been through what he’s been through they’re easy to identify. @thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #Jeezy #Relationships #Friendships #Love youtu.be/q7evYNgLcB8

“I come from a culture where you couldn’t plan for Christmas because you didn’t know if you were gon’ make it”- @jeezy Early in Jeezy’s career he was in a dark place. In 2008 he made major changes before recording the “Recession”. During a dinner with wealthy investors he learned of their financial fears, & that implored him to “tell my people” what was coming. As he shared the album people loved it. They only had 1 message… “I think you should take “My President” off because I don’t think he’s gon’ win”. As Jeezy has famously said “🗣️HaHa”. @ThePivot on @Youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #Jeezy #Recession #HipHop #MentalHealthAwareness youtu.be/q7evYNgLcB8

“I regret none of it, I lived the best of both worlds.” @Jeezy This one hits different 💯 sitting with Jay Jeezy Jenkins, let’s go! From the pressure of Atlanta streets to becoming a voice for a whole generation—Jeezy doesn’t hold back. No filters. No regrets. Just truth. Jail. Depression. Fatherhood. Reinvention.
 He shares the one moment that changed everything and the mindset that kept him going when it all could’ve ended. More than a conversation—it’s a blueprint on betting on YOU when nobody else will. From Thug Motivation to a whole new Vegas chapter, this episode is Jeezy’s evolution in real time 🎙️Out now streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube youtu.be/q7evYNgLcB8 #hiphop #atlanta #Motivation #music #podcast @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder
