What makes a successful negotiator? It's not just tactics or sharp suits — it's structure, mindset, and clarity.

In this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit speaks with dealmaker and legal strategist Corey Kupfer about the systems that power high-level negotiations and business growth. They discuss how to prepare for deals before they happen, including the creation of digital data rooms, legal checklists, and due diligence workflows. Corey shares his three-part framework — Clarity, Detachment, and Equilibrium — which forms the foundation of his book Authentic Negotiating, and explains how business owners can use systems to build confidence, reduce risk, and scale responsibly. The conversation is filled with practical insights for entrepreneurs preparing for partnerships, fundraising, or future exits.
