$100+ Billion Dollar in Deals Over 20+ Years. Here's Why I'm Starting my Business Podcast.

January 25, 2026•1 min read

After 20 years as a corporate lawyer closing $100B+ in deals, I realized the business world is drowning in inauthentic AI noise. That’s why I’m launching “Wall Street to Y’all Street”—a raw, unscripted business podcast for real entrepreneurs and executives. 

In this episode, I explain why I’m trading short-form fluff for deep-dive interviews (2-3 hours) with business leaders. We’re cutting through the AI hype to bring you hard-won lessons on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), capital raising, negotiation tactics, and dispute resolution directly from the deal table. 

If you are a CEO, founder, executive or investor looking for high-stakes decision-making insights without the “guru” gimmickry, this is your new home base.
