Ken Tucker - Intentional Conversations (B1818)
Thursday Feb 07, 2019
Thursday Feb 07, 2019
Here is a synopsis of Ken's soon to be released book, Intentional Conversations: How to Rethink Everyday Conversation and Transform Your Career. This book is the sequel to the book Your Intentional Difference, which Bill Black and I discussed last month on his show, and is another step required for people to become more intentional in their life and career. Becoming intentional in our conversations is an important activity that we begin practicing early on in our lives and it grows in importance the longer we live.
We all have that “first” conversation.That specific day and time, that moment, that first instance when, as a child, we put together the thoughts, ideas, or information that launch us into a conversation with another person. It is a monumental event that few people, if any, remember at all. When was your first conversation? What was it about? Who was it with? What was the outcome? Sadly, like me, you probably cannot recall that momentous first conversation. It happened, you know it did, and it does not matter whether the conversation showed your brilliance, levity, innocence, simplicity, or hilarity—it is lost and gone forever.
Conversation sets us apart from all other animals. The use of spoken words to exchange ideas, thoughts, and information is a uniquely human ability. What we say in conversation matters. Through conversation people decide whether they like us or not, whether to follow us or not. Through conversation, we define who we are, who we want to become and what our value is to others. Most importantly, it is through conversation that we get work done.

Erik Klinger - Dealounge (J2517)
Thursday Oct 25, 2018
Thursday Oct 25, 2018
Dealounge is an online deal platform. Our unique mission is to bring undercovered and under-distributed deals to a wider audience.
Many boutique investment banks lack the junior resources to distribute a deal efficiently. These are firms that may have a single Analyst assisting several Managing Directors. Making outbound calls on deals isn't the best use of that Analyst's time. Our electronic platform allows those banks to distribute a deal instantly. We have nearly 1,400 firms on our platform - most of them private equity. We bring the advisor qualified deal interest - for FREE.
We bring these buyers a deal that they may not have known about, of sufficient size (if that buyer subscribes) that the deal is a standalone deal and not simply an add-on. We focus mainly on M&A opportunities having $3MM of EBITDA and above, though we also have smaller deals that may fit as an add on to a portfolio company. For our subscribers, we limit the number of bidders on a deal to 10, and our subscribers get priority during the bidding process over free users.
We are reaching beyond advised deals to add value to truly proprietary opportunities. This gives the buyers on our platform the ability to get their brands in front of companies before they reach the stage of retaining an advisor. Some deals may forego a competitive process, or at the very least, a seller can give a buyer an advantaged position in their process once it starts. In order to take advantage of that opportunity, the buyer must be a subscriber on Dealounge.
