AI’s Impact on M&A, with Michael Lamm

Are you approaching your business with a long-term relationship mindset, or are you still trapped in a transactional cycle? When the rush for AI, timing the market, or quick wins tempt you, are you risking the one thing that truly moves the needle—deep trust built through honest conversations and industry insight?

In today’s episode, we dig deep into the habits and strategic shifts that separate successful brokers from those spinning wheels. We uncover why sustained relationships, tough honesty, and disciplined preparation beat every shortcut—especially when technology is changing fast, and clients expect everything “now.” It’s a reminder that being a trusted advisor means playing the long game, guiding clients with candor, and never assuming everyone knows what you know.

Jason Cutter welcomes Michael Lamm, co-founder and managing partner of Corporate Advisory Solutions, to share his 25 years of M&A experience in highly regulated, tech-driven industries. Michael reveals what brokers must know about tech adoption, AI, and buyer trends—and why the best deals are won by those who listen deeply and advise openly. He pulls back the curtain on industry specialization, the evolving buyer landscape, and the lessons that only come from a lost deal. This is an episode for brokers who want to move past the treadmill of chasing to building a real, sustainable pipeline.
