Episode Breakdown

This short 2025 update sets out what is changing inside Dealmakers Academy for buyers at different stages of the acquisition journey. Jonathan Jay introduces Jonathan Jay's Deal Club as a new online membership for people who want more regular dealmaking content, including special reports, sector analysis, additional audio content, and practical insight from behind the scenes.

The episode also explains how Deal Club Live events will differ from standard networking sessions. Jonathan plans to attend and teach at these sessions, with a focus on analysing real acquisition opportunities, reviewing buyer thinking, and helping attendees understand how deals can be pulled apart, rebuilt, and made workable.
