The Cortado Conversations

<p>In this podcast we will discuss (often in an irreverent manner) everything related to strategic transactions, entrepreneurship, and business management - transformational growth, strategic planning, mergers, acquisitions, divestures, joint ventures, capital raises, and strategic alliances. <br /><br />We will also discuss the interrelated nature of the quantitative and qualitative aspects of a strategic transaction, how it impacts overall success, and why over 60% of transaction like these fail.<br /><br />If you want to know more about FocalPoint Advisory Services and how we apply these concepts to your business I can be reached at gbeck@focalpointcoaching.com. <br /><br />You can also find me on LinkedIn! <br /><br />My website and Transaction Readiness Assessment Links are below.<br /><a href="https://gregbeck.focalpointcoaching.com/">https://gregbeck.focalpointcoaching.com/</a><br /><a href="https://transactionreadiness-gregbeck.scoreapp.com/">https://transactionreadiness-gregbeck.scoreapp.com/</a></p>
