I'm in the process of crafting a memoir to reveal how, starting from scratch without a college degree, capital, or connections, I managed to complete multiple multimillion-dollar acquisitions.
I've had the privilege of sharing segments of my journey on popular podcasts like 'Acquiring Minds' and 'Built to Sell Radio,' as well as teaching MBA candidates at Cornell the very strategies that led to my success.
Given the requests I've received from interested listeners, I'm looking to find a literary agent who can help bring my story to a wider audience.
Do you know an agent who might be a great fit for this?

Eric at Georgetown University has a process that's more hands on for the author than Scribe. If you DM I'm send an intro. A friend launched her book with his program.
Apart from that, I'd ask what the outcome is?
If you want a major publishing company, then the revenue & flexibility will be worse.
Self-publish, the revenue will be better.
Both require you to do marketing to make the book sell.
Follow Scribe or what Eric says and you'll be a best seller at the least, on Amazon and depending on the marketing your invest in, you can hit more challenging best seller lists.
Keep going big!! Let me know if I can be more help.
