The Deal Table

The Deal Table features founders, operators, investors, and advisors who navigate consequential decisions around capital, control, leadership, and legacy.

Hosted by Lane Carrick and Ryan Harper, the show brings together leaders who have built, financed, governed, acquired, and exited real businesses to speak candidly about what actually happens before, during, and after the deal. Topics include private equity, mergers and acquisitions, capital raises, succession planning, and the realities of business ownership.

Filmed at Old Parkland in Dallas, The Deal Table focuses on judgment, resilience, and long-term outcomes rather than tactics or hype. Conversations explore how capital changes incentives, how leadership is tested under pressure, and why many promising deals fail culturally or personally.

The show is designed for founders, executives, investors, and advisors making decisions that are difficult to reverse.
