In everything from sports to entertainment, fashion to the metaverse 2021 was a game-changing year. For this week’s episode of Boardroom’s “Out of Office” podcast, Rich Kleiman and Gianni Harrell check in one-on-one to kick off the new year. 

Together, they discuss their respective tropical new year’s adventures, what their resolutions might be if they were into that sort of thing, and the allure of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT community. Plus, Rich reflects on his return to the Barclays Center after 10 days away and why a three-game skid doesn’t have to be more than a minor setback over the course of an 82-game season, especially with Kyrie set to make his comeback.

They also look forward to the year ahead, previewing some of the things that they’re most excited about in 2022.

From the promise of a new SZA album to Rich’s picks for the Super Bowl and NBA Finals, the next 12 months have got some pretty serious potential.
