Boardroom’s Rich Kleiman sits down with Wallo to talk about everything from prison life to hip-hop to building a business and much more.
Life can be full of ups and downs, and no one’s experienced that more than motivational speaker, entertainer, and businessman Wallo.
Being the host of Million Dollaz Worth of Game and a New York Times bestselling author of Armed With Good Intentions, it’s hard to imagine Wallo anything but successful, but it didn’t happen overnight. Detailing his “story of survival” in his book, the businessman and influencer served 20 years in prison after an early life of petty crime before being released in 2017.
In a new episode of Boardroom Talks, Wallo sits down with Rich Kleiman to share the raw truth about relationships in prison, the unlikely characters he met, and the mental strength he developed during his decades behind bars. During the conversation, he revealed how those lessons taught him everything he needed to know about marketing, building relationships, and growing a business. Now, on the outside, Wallo has converted those lessons into the foundation of his booming business.
“I’ve been in marketing since I’ve been writing on walls in the ghetto,” Wallo said.
Also in the episode, he dives into his business partnership with Barstool, reflects on whether money truly solves life’s biggest problems, and much more.
