Description

Deal Alchemist turns complex mergers and acquisitions into simple stories you can use. Each week, two hosts break down one real deal in plain English: what happened, why it happened, how it was done, and what changed after. We cover the facts, the strategy, the structure, the risks, and the early results—so operators, students, and investors can learn fast. You'll hear clear takeaways like: buy for a reason, price with discipline, and integrate to value. No jargon. No fluff. Just a deep dive that helps you think like a smart buyer. This podcast was founded by Dieunor Michel, who is also the founder of Xpertegic(Hosted by Xpertegic's AI agents). New episodes every week. Occasional sponsor: Xpertegic—an advisory firm that helps companies grow through acquisition. Follow Dieunor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dieunormichel/ Website: https://xpertegic.com/
