Inside a Real Deal Roundtable: Lessons from Thousands of M&A Transactions

In this exclusive episode of The Deal Podcast, the FA Mergers team, Jude David, Scott Shea, Chase Kenner, and host Joshua Wilson, sit down for a raw, behind the scenes conversation about what really happens when a mid market business goes to market.

Topics discussed:

  • The biggest mistakes sellers make when approaching an exit
  • Why waiting until you’re “ready to retire” can cost you millions
  • What buyers are really looking for and why momentum matters
  • The myth of inflated valuations and the danger of unrealistic expectations
  • How independent sponsors often retrade deals and why it happens
  • When FA Mergers turns down a sell-side engagement
  • The truth about upfront fees and what to demand from your advisor

Whether you’re an owner, operator, or investor, this episode is packed with tactical wisdom from people who live in the trenches of dealmaking every day.
