Lucas and Luna sit down each episode to dissect the real mechanics of procurement and B2B purchasing — not the textbook theory, but how sourcing managers actually navigate supplier risk, cost volatility, and long-term contracts. Lucas brings the journalist's eye for verifiable data: what the latest PMI numbers mean for lead times, how tariff shifts alter sourcing strategies, and why a single supplier default can ripple through a supply chain. Luna pushes back with the practitioner's questions: How do you negotiate with a monopoly supplier? When does 'just-in-time' become 'just-in-case'? They walk through named case studies — from automotive sector chip allocations to hospital group PPE procurement — always grounded in the spreadsheet, not the slogan. The listener is the procurement officer, the VP of supply chain, or the startup founder who suddenly realizes they need to buy steel or servers. No buzzwords, no fluff — just the tension between cost optimization and resilience. Can you ev

Episode #203
Why Procurement Teams Audit Supplier Carbon Data
Sep 29, 202610 minS5
In Episode 203 of The Buyer's Side, Lucas and Luna explore the hidden mechanics of Scope Three emissions auditing. They examine how major retailers are no longer trusting supplier self-reports, instead requiring third-party verification for carbon footprints. The hosts break down the specific friction points in data collection, the rising cost of compliance, and why this shift is fundamentally changing B2B negotiation leverage. Listeners will learn about the new reality of greenwashing penalties and how procurement teams are structuring contracts to enforce transparency without stifling innovation. #Procurement #SupplyChain #CarbonData #ScopeThreeEmissions #SupplierAudit #Greenwashing #B2BPurchasing #SustainableBusiness #ESGCompliance #CorporateStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinanceNews #Economics #RiskManagement #DataVerification #ContractNegotiation #Logistics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Procurement Teams Ignore the Cheapest Supplier Quote
Sep 28, 202610 minS5
Episode 202 digs into the counterintuitive reality that procurement teams often reject the lowest bid to protect long-term value. We examine a specific case where choosing a mid-tier supplier over the cheapest option saved millions in hidden costs, quality failures, and operational friction. Lucas and Luna explore how total cost of ownership models are evolving beyond simple price comparisons, focusing on reliability, innovation partnership, and risk mitigation. This deep dive reveals why smart buyers are willing to pay a premium for stability and how category managers are restructuring their evaluation criteria to prioritize resilience over immediate savings. #ProcurementStrategy #SupplierManagement #TotalCostOfOwnership #B2BPurchasing #SupplyChainResilience #VendorSelection #CostAvoidance #SourcingDecisions #BusinessOperations #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CorporateFinance #RiskManagement #QualityControl #OperationalEfficiency #StrategicSourcing #ProcurementTrends #BusinessLeadership Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Procurement Teams Ignore the Cheapest Supplier Quote
Sep 27, 20269 minS5
Most buyers assume lowest price wins, but Lucas and Luna explore how supplier reliability and hidden operational friction often cost more in the long run. Using a specific case of a manufacturer who saved two million dollars by choosing a higher-priced vendor with superior delivery consistency, they break down the real math behind procurement decisions. This episode examines why total cost of ownership metrics frequently miss the silent tax of stockouts, expedited shipping, and quality failures. Listen to understand how shifting from price-centric to value-centric sourcing can protect your margins without adding headcount. #ProcurementStrategy #SupplyChainResilience #TotalCostOfOwnership #B2BSourcing #VendorManagement #OperationalExcellence #BusinessEfficiency #RiskMitigation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SourcingDecisions #SupplierReliability #CostReduction #ManufacturingInsights #LogisticsManagement #ProcurementTips #CorporateFinance #SupplyChainOptimization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Episode 200 of The Buyer's Side explores a critical shift in B2B purchasing: the move from voluntary ESG reporting to mandatory, audited carbon data. Lucas and Luna examine how major corporations are now demanding granular Scope Three emissions metrics from their suppliers, using specific frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. They discuss the friction this creates for smaller vendors, the rise of digital audit tools, and why procurement teams are treating carbon transparency as a non-negotiable contract clause rather than a marketing add-on. #ProcurementStrategy #SupplyChainTransparency #ScopeThreeEmissions #GreenhouseGasProtocol #SustainableSourcing #CarbonAccounting #SupplierCompliance #ESGReporting #B2BPurchasing #CircularEconomy #DigitalAuditTools #CorporateResponsibility #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinanceTalk #EconomicsDaily #ProcurementTrends #CarbonData Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most buyers treat carbon data as a compliance checkbox. In reality, it is a pricing lever. We break down how leading procurement teams are auditing Scope Three emissions not to punish suppliers, but to expose inefficiencies that drain margins. Using concrete examples from industrial manufacturing and logistics, we show why unverified carbon claims are becoming a hidden tax on B2B contracts. This episode explores the specific audit frameworks turning sustainability into a source of operational insight rather than just regulatory fear. #ScopeThreeEmissions #ProcurementAudit #SupplyChainTransparency #CarbonAccounting #SupplierDataQuality #B2BPurchasing #OperationalEfficiency #SustainableProcurement #TotalCostOfOwnership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CorporateStrategy #RiskManagement #ESGCompliance #VendorManagement #GreenLogistics #ManufacturingTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
