Who is more invested in a breakfast of eggs and bacon — a chicken or a pig? And what does this have to do with leveraged finance?

Find out in this week’s episode of Cloud 9fin as global head of distressed debt and restructuring Max Frumes talks with Mike Harmon about his forthcoming book The Financial Restructuring Tool Set: How to Fix Your Broken Balance Sheet. They talk about the various ways that a company can restructure in and out of court, the evolution of the distressed debt playbook, and what restructuring has in common with Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

Mike Harmon is a lecturer in management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, managing partner of Gaviota Advisors, LLC who spent 21 years in the special situations and global principal groups at Oaktree Capital Management.
