Episode Notes
Fred VanVleet and Quez sit down with KLUTCH Sports Group founder Rich Paul — one of the most influential figures in modern sports. From selling throwback jerseys out the trunk of his car to building a global agency that reshaped athlete representation, Rich shares the mindset behind the movement.
They dive into the origin of KLUTCH, what it means to truly represent players beyond contracts, and how ownership, relationships, and long-term thinking changed the power dynamics of the league. Rich opens up about navigating criticism, building trust with superstars, and why culture and credibility matter more than ever.
This isn’t just a conversation about sports agencies — it’s about shifting the ground beneath an entire industry.
Legacy. Disruption. Blueprint.
