The Kid Mero Knows His Worth

Last Updated: November 15, 2024
The outspoken entertainer sat down with Boardroom’s Gabe Oshin to discuss everything from his welcome to the business moment, the ideal model for success, and the power of the co-sign.

Lids is partnering with Boardroom on the segment “Market Cap” to highlight athletes and entertainers who are building business outside of their day job.

“Listen to me. Young entertainment people. Young athletes. Anyone signing the contract: if you see the words ‘in perpetuity‘ on that motherfucker, throw it in the garbage.”

Over the last decade, The Kid Mero has personally seen how every facet of the business world plays out — for good and for bad. Through it all, he’s come out on top. These days you can catch him alongside Carmelo Anthony as the co-host of 7 PM in Brooklyn, which kicks off its second season this week.

In the most recent episode of Boardroom Talks, Mero sits down with Gabe Oshin to discuss his journey from internet icon to media mogul. With his ALL CAPS energy, he highlights how nepotism plays out in the industry, how 50 Cent’s G-Unit model had it right, and his plans to become “the Dominican Dick Wolf.”

Plus, as part of Boardroom’s ongoing “Market Cap” segment, sponsored by Lids, he offers three key reflections on the lessons he’s learned over the last decade.

Lock in for this insightful conversation on branding, business, and so much more.
