  • Corporate Crisis Playbook: The Turnaround Strategy Becky Roof Uses to Save Businesses

    Corporate Crisis Playbook: The Turnaround Strategy Becky Roof Uses to Save Businesses
    2026/04/02
    Drew sits down with turnaround veteran Becky Roof to explore the high-stakes world of corporate restructuring and the accidental career paths that lead people into it. Becky shares stories from decades of crisis leadership, including stepping in as interim CFO during Kodak’s bankruptcy and navigating complex negotiations with creditors, pensions, and global stakeholders to preserve value and jobs. The conversation dives into what it really takes to lead when companies run out of liquidity, employees fear for their futures, and the path forward isn’t clear. Becky also looks back on mentorship, the evolution of the restructuring industry, and what it meant to build a career as a woman in a historically male-dominated field. 🎧 Episode Highlights: [06:28]: The bankruptcy that pulled Becky into restructuring [07:17]: The mentors who shaped Becky’s career [29:44]: Becoming Kodak’s interim CFO during bankruptcy [38:57]: The case that almost got Becky arrested in Italy [45:00]: Becky’s advice for the next Generation of turnaround leaders 🔑 Key Takeaways: ● While restructuring often focuses on capital structures and liquidity, Becky emphasizes the human side of crisis leadership. Communicating honestly with employees, acknowledging uncertainty, and preserving as many jobs as possible are central to responsible turnaround work. For Becky, the day telling someone their job is eliminated stops hurting is the day it’s time to leave the profession. ● Successful restructurings require creativity under extreme pressure. Cases like Kodak showed how turnaround leaders must constantly search for unconventional solutions when time and liquidity are running out. By identifying hidden pockets of value and negotiating complex compromises, such as separating business units and resolving pension claims, teams can create paths to survival that initially seem impossible. ● Effective turnarounds require a disciplined crisis playbook. Becky emphasizes starting with a clear understanding of the business, maintaining constant communication with stakeholders, and aligning management, creditors, and advisors around a realistic strategy. Transparency, liquidity management, and prioritizing what is urgent versus what is truly important are critical steps in stabilizing a company and creating a path toward recovery. 👤 Guest Spotlight: Becky Roof Becky Roof is a former Partner and Managing Director at AlixPartners and one of the most respected turnaround and restructuring leaders in the industry. With decades of experience as an advisor and interim CFO in complex, high-stakes situations, she has helped companies navigate bankruptcies, strategic restructurings, and financial transformations across global markets.

  • When the Banks Failed: Lessons from the 1980s Texas Oil Bust Part 2

    When the Banks Failed: Lessons from the 1980s Texas Oil Bust Part 2
    2026/03/05
    In part two of this episode, Drew, Berry, and Charlie look back on the cases that shaped modern restructuring: from the chaotic El Paso refinery bankruptcy to the high-stakes battles inside Enron. They share firsthand stories of IRS shutdowns, courtroom showdowns, copper price crashes, and creditor warfare that redefined how Chapter 11 works in practice. The episode explores how bankruptcy evolved from a scrappy, Wild West profession into a complex, high-dollar industry driven by sophisticated capital structures and venue strategy. Along the way, they debate lender-on-lender violence, mass tort bankruptcies, and whether the system still rewards creativity or just balance sheet engineering. It’s a candid look at how the biggest collapses built today’s restructuring playbook. 🎧 Episode Highlights ● [03:52]: A Risk That Recovered $30M ● [05:24]: The Refinery Case That Shook Texas ● [08:30]: When the Court Demanded Proof ● [14:29]: Patience, Copper, and a Comeback ● [33:01]: Enron and the New Era of Restructuring 🔑 Key Takeaways: ● The El Paso refinery collapse showed how an unprepared Chapter 11 filing can accelerate failure instead of prevent it. When IRS liens triggered a reactive bankruptcy without evidence, financing, or a clear strategy, the court’s refusal to bend the rules led to an immediate shutdown and hundreds of lost jobs. In restructuring, process, preparation, and proof matter as much as urgency. ● The four-year Asarco bankruptcy demonstrated that restructuring is often a long game shaped by external forces like commodity cycles. Rising and falling copper prices completely changed creditor leverage, settlement dynamics, and ultimate ownership. Sometimes survival depends less on legal maneuvering and more on understanding markets and waiting for the right moment to act. ● From Enron’s creditor committee infighting to today’s lender-on-lender battles and complex capital structures, bankruptcy has evolved into a high-stakes arena dominated by sophisticated players. Yet beneath the balance sheet engineering, the core tension remains: is the goal to truly fix the business, or simply to rearrange financial claims? The answer continues to shape the future of the restructuring profession. 👤 Guest Spotlight: Berry Spears Berry D.

  • When the Banks Failed: Lessons from the 1980s Texas Oil Bust Part 1

    When the Banks Failed: Lessons from the 1980s Texas Oil Bust Part 1
    2026/02/25
    This episode looks back at the historic Texas oil crash of the early 1980s, bringing with it a full-scale financial collapse that reshaped careers, communities, and an entire industry. In the midst of it all were Berry Spears, Charlie Beckham, and host Drew McManigle who were just starting out as young lawyers and operators in West Texas. Over four decades later, they recount firsthand stories of failing banks, collapsing rig counts, FDIC interventions, and the monumental changes that followed in bankruptcy and restructuring law. This conversation sets the stage for how survival, trust, and hard lessons in the 80s shaped the modern restructuring world. 🎧 Episode Highlights ●[00:54]: Berry Spears’ and Charles Beckham’s early careers in 1980s West Texas ●[07:40]: Life inside the oil service business as the downturn begins ●[12:48]: Failure of major West Texas banks and the role of the FDIC ●[17:16]: Public reaction to bank closures and the run on deposits ●[29:26]: How the crisis shaped bankruptcy and restructuring careers 🔑 Key Takeaways: ●The Texas oil crash of the early 1980s was not an isolated energy downturn but a systemic financial crisis that collapsed banks, wiped out businesses, and destabilized entire communities across West Texas. The failure of major institutions like the National Bank of Odessa and First National Bank of Midland, followed by widespread FDIC intervention, exposed how aggressive lending and unrealistic assumptions about oil prices amplified the fallout. ●The crisis became an unintended training ground for a new generation of professionals. With little precedent under the newly revised bankruptcy code, young lawyers and operators like Berry Spears and Charles Beckham were forced to learn restructuring, workouts, and creditor negotiations in real time, shaping the foundations of modern bankruptcy and restructuring practice. ●The experience permanently reshaped how participants approached risk, trust, and decision-making. Scarcity of capital, public bank runs, and survival-driven compromises instilled a practical, relationship-based mindset that continues to influence how they navigate complex restructurings and business challenges decades later. 👤 Guest Spotlight: Berry Spears Berry D.
