    Super informative
    Each week Kison Patel speaks to Fortune 500 corp dev executives about the most exciting and challenging deals they have done. He does a great job of breaking down their stories into applicable lessons. As someone new to the space it’s really helped me to stay in tune with best practices and how to keep deals on track! As well as teaching what deals to walk away from. Definitely give it a listen 👌

    Best M&A Podcast
    From someone who doesn’t come directly from M&A this podcast is a perfect mix of high level and detailed best practices. I felt like these interviews were extremely informative and useful even though my knowledge of M&A is rather limited. This is definitely worth listening to. Keep up the good work!

    Highly recommended for anyone looking to acquire or sell a business. One of the biggest challenges in M&A is the due diligence and integration process... you should listen in so you can make sure you get the value you intended from the deal!
