Hey, welcome to another episode of Making Billions. I’m your host, Ryan Miller, and today I have my dear friend Walker Deibel.

He also leads the elite acquisition accelerator, which has helped entrepreneurs acquire over $400 million in Private Equity acquisitions. He’s an entrepreneur and investor who has co-founded three startups, acquired eight companies outright, and has consulted inside over 100 business transactions.
