This week’s insights range from timeless marketing strategy to messy real-world restructurings, with lessons on how leadership, fundamentals, and clear process make the difference in deals.

In this episode:

• A quick MBA-level lesson in marketing strategy: the 3Cs and 4Ps. Outdated in the classroom, still essential for real-world pitches and business plans.

• A restructuring file where a U.S. customer owes $1 million but claims offset through a kickback scheme. Why it matters for insolvency law, creditors, lenders, and the entire supply chain.

• Why the AI “bubble” narrative is everywhere this week — and why I was saying the same thing in my Growth Quest keynote back in May.

• The Inner Circle: Deals & Capital is live. Nearly 30 founders, investors, and advisors joined the first session. The next one is Tuesday, August 26 at 3 p.m. Eastern. Bring your deal, bring your questions.
