    BTW EP 10: Poachers Turned Game Wardens:" the "Tuners" on indirect supplier tactics (part 1)

    Art of Procurement

    Play Episode Listen Later May 28, 2025 38:41


    Much like the classic plot twist in old thriller movies where the characters realize the threat is coming from inside the house, the most revealing insights about supplier tactics are coming from inside Fine Tune's own house in this eye-opening tenth episode of Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement.    Co-host Rich Ham was initially reluctant to tap into his own team's expertise for this podcast series, but the guests' insight and insider knowledge proved too valuable not to share.  In this episode, Philip and Rich interview two former supplier-side executives – Alex Carlson and Angie Claeys – who are now working on the opposite side of the fence at Fine Tune, and therefore perfectly positioned to divulge the very tactics they once used against procurement teams. They are, indeed, “poachers turned game wardens.” First, Alex, a former CBRE executive and Wells Fargo procurement leader, explains how janitorial service providers deliberately underbid with limited scopes to help procurement “check the box” on savings goals. Likewise, he's seen elevator maintenance providers bill for preventative maintenance that is never performed. Just because a category of spend is managed on paper doesn't mean it's being actively managed where it counts the most, on the ground. Similarly, in the second half of the episode, Angie Claeys, former VP of Operations at Aramark, lays out the uniform industry's playbook (a notoriously complex category). Here too procurement has to watch out for “presumptive” billing that can cost the business unnecessarily if procurement isn't on top of it.  Alex and Angie's experiences on the supplier side point to a troubling dynamic: procurement's incentive structures actually encourage these nefarious supplier behaviors and, by not focusing more on ongoing cost management, procurement is inadvertently signaling to suppliers precisely how they can ‘game the system.' This episode, part one in a two-part series full of insider insights, provides an unfiltered look at the consequences of half-hearted spend management and makes a powerful case for extending procurement's influence beyond the contract. Stay tuned for part two, where Bob Schreiner and Keith Robinson expose similar tactics in security services and pest control.   Links: Alex Carlson on LinkedIn Angie Claeys on LinkedIn Rich Ham on LinkedIn Learn more at FineTuneUs.com

    This episode updates you on how the Big, Bloated Bill in Congress will impact nonprofits and philanthropy. And this week's interview offers a deep dive into how the proposed law would impact nonprofits that hold up America's social safety net.What happens when government cuts to essential services threaten to recreate the horrors of decades past? How do nonprofits navigate serving vulnerable populations while fighting for their very existence? In this powerful episode, Edward Hershey, CEO of Home of Guiding Hands, reveals the critical connection between defending democracy and protecting society's most vulnerable members—people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who depend on services that are now under unprecedented threat.Hershey shares the stark reality of operating a $35 million nonprofit with 1,200 employees while 90% dependent on government funding that's facing massive cuts. From paying payroll on credit cards due to delayed government payments to witnessing a 40% underfunding crisis finally addressed only to be threatened again, his organization's story illuminates how attacking nonprofits, government programs, and philanthropic funding creates a dangerous triple threat to democratic values. The conversation traces a direct line from the horrific institutional conditions exposed by Geraldo Rivera in the 1970s to today's policy decisions that could force a return to those dark days.Through personal accounts of rallying 300 constituents, confronting elected officials, and maintaining hope among staff and clients, Hershey demonstrates that defending democracy isn't abstract—it's about ensuring that government remains "of the people, for the people" by protecting the infrastructure that cares for those who cannot advocate for themselves. His message is clear: we are judged as a society by how we treat our most vulnerable, and preserving that care is preserving democracy itself.You can find all the episodes of this podcast plus our blog, toolkit and other resources at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundthepeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    What does it take to lead with heart in one of the most demanding, misunderstood public service sectors? In this episode of the Leadership With Heart Podcast, I spoke with Billie Jo McCarley, Deputy Director of Operations at the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department.  From the moment I saw her speak on a panel, I was drawn to her clarity, purpose, and grounded approach to leading in a system that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. Her words were honest, her tone firm, and her leadership style deeply human. Billie Jo shares her journey from a union kid in upstate New York to a Marine Corps officer, and now to her executive role overseeing one of the largest utilities in the country. She brings a refreshingly straightforward style to leadership, one rooted in ownership, structure, and service. What resonated most was how she balances military precision with a deep sense of emotional intelligence and faith. Her mantra is simple: understand people, respect their uniqueness, and make hard decisions without ever stripping someone of their dignity. We explored how she builds high-performing teams by focusing on talent, alignment, clarity, and trust. She described her people as “scrappy builders,” but also reminded us that every person comes with a story, and our job as leaders is to create a space where that story matters. Whether shifting someone to a better-fitting role or navigating tough conversations with fairness and compassion, Billie Jo never loses sight of the mission: to serve the people of Miami-Dade County with integrity and purpose. Her belief that leadership is not about softening expectations but elevating them through care stayed with me. You can be clear, direct, and firm, and still lead with a heart full of compassion. That's the real balance we're all trying to strike, especially in times of uncertainty, change, and disruption. So here's my question: What does leadership with heart look like in your world, and how are you holding space for others while still pushing them to grow? I would love to hear your thoughts. Share your reflections with me, and let's continue the conversation.

    In Act 1 of this moving two-part arc, we met Charles Moore—alumnus and now Director of Programs and Operations at Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA)—who shared his remarkable journey from a childhood without parents, to his incarceration at age 34, and how he transformed 17 years behind bars into a life rich with education, creativity, and connection. That first episode explored the healing power of the arts and how they can foster purpose, growth, and community even in what could be the most isolating of environments. Act 2 picks up right where we left off, diving even deeper into Charles's journey. We learn that he's been part of RTA for over 20 years, and that transformation was made possible because, as Charles puts it, “somebody believed in me.” He opens up about reentry into society, and how the arts played a crucial role in re-learning essential life skills. The conversation expands to spotlight arts programs for incarcerated individuals across the country, and turns toward legacy—what Charles hopes to build and leave behind. With reflections on leadership, identity, and the power of belief, this episode is filled with insight, vulnerability, and inspiration.

    In this enlightening "snack episode," host Miranda Dorta turns the mic around to interview Tracy Cherpeski about the critical connection between leadership approaches and healthcare practice success. Tracy reveals how healthcare providers often exhibit confidence in clinical settings but struggle with business leadership, sharing practical insights on adapting leadership styles while maintaining authenticity. She introduces the concept of "changing hats" to help practitioners mentally transition between clinical and leadership roles, and emphasizes that micromanagement isn't always negative when applied strategically. Tracy's most impactful leadership tip? The power of the pause—what she calls "WAIT" (Why Am I Talking?)—allowing leaders to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.  Episode Highlights:  The pattern Tracy observed in healthcare providers: confidence in clinical delegation but timidity in business leadership  How practitioners can transfer clinical skills to leadership while knowing which habits to "surgically remove"  The cognitive trick of "changing hats" to help the brain switch between clinical and leadership mindsets  Why micromanagement isn't always negative and when it might be necessary  The most powerful leadership adjustment: learning to pause before reacting  Memorable Quotes:  "Sometimes their business model is to hope for the best."  "Leadership doesn't mean knowing everything. It doesn't mean being in command or control of every single thing."  "Micromanagement - it's not a four-letter word, but it sounds like it could be."  "If you take your hands off, not abdicate your responsibility for success, but take your hands off and let them do their work, they will rise to the occasion."  "We call it WAIT. It's an acronym. Why Am I Talking?"  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International.

    Hour 1 The Knicks lost Game 1 to the Pacers in overtime after blowing a significant fourth-quarter lead. Tyrese Haliburton made a "choke" gesture after tying the game in regulation, echoing Reggie Miller's past antics. Despite the loss, Gio remains confident in the Knicks, believing they will dominate Game 2, especially recalling their past series win against the Pacers after Miller's similar gesture. In other sports news, the Yankees secured a walk-off win against the Rangers with a home run from Jasson Dominguez, and the Mets defeated the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty's three RBIs. The show concluded with Gio reiterating his faith in the Knicks, addressing calls from concerned fans. Hour 2 We were encouraged by the Knicks' offensive performance despite their loss. Gio received an old Washington Post article from 1989 where Michael Wilbon wrote about Boomer. A caller mistakenly identified Fat Joe at the game, but Gio's research revealed it was actually one of CC Sabathia's agents. A caller suggested players should go home after a loss and speak to the media the next day. The show then featured a clip of Marv Albert interviewing Boomer after his Super Bowl loss. Jerry's update included Pacers radio audio of Haliburton's shot that they initially thought was a game-winner. In other sports, Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off home run for the Yankees against the Rangers, and the Mets beat the Red Sox with a Francisco Lindor home run. Jerry also played his signature "What the hell is that sound?" segment. Hour 3 Tyrese Haliburton's "choke" gesture toward the Knicks in Game 1 could become a defining moment of the series. In a show of local team spirit, NYC has even renamed some streets and intersections after Knicks players, prompting Boomer to quip about taking a picture at "Precious Achiuwa Place'.

    Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Susan Deason, Executive Director, and Carl Davis, Managing Director of Operations with Memphis Allies, who both discuss the mission and efforts of Memphis Allies, a partnership of nonprofit organizations working together to reduce gun violence in Memphis and Shelby County. During the interview, Susan shares how Memphis Allies was launched in 2021 by the Memphis, Tennessee-based nonprofit, Youth Villages, in response to the significant increase in gun violence in Memphis during that time. Susan and Carl discuss their evidence-informed model, which focuses on community violence intervention and serves individuals at highest risk for involvement in gun violence ages 12 to 35. The model, called SWITCH - Support With Intention To Create Hope - involves a team of individuals, including outreach specialists, life coaches, case managers, and clinical specialists, who work collaboratively to help participants switch their mindset and achieve their goals. The program is typically 12 to 18 months long and has shown early indicators of success, with 90% of participants not receiving an additional gun charge while in service. The organization has over 200 staff members, most of whom have lived experiences that uniquely position them to help change someone's mindset.Susan and Carl emphasize the importance of community partnerships, support, and collaboration both locally and nationally. They discuss the importance of their work in the community and highlight the complexity of the issues faced, along with the need for empathy and understanding. Susan and Carl talk about the need for volunteers and how volunteers can help identify and engage with the individuals being supported. Carl highlights the daily changes he sees in participants and the importance of relentless effort in this work. They wrap up with how this work is saving lives and how the community can get involved and support their efforts.Visit https://memphisallies.org or call (901) 252-7900 to learn more and get involved with Memphis Allies.

    This week, Jason is joined by former Navy Seal, entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and podcast host, Robert J. O'Neill! Robert is one of the most highly decorated combat veterans of our time. He served at Seal Team two, Seal Team four, and eight years at the legendary Seal Team six. Having taken part in leading over 400 combat missions around the world, he has decorated 53 times with honors. More notably, Robert took part in the rescue operation Red Wings, which extracted the lone survivor Marcus Latrell. He was the lead jumper for the rescue operation that saved Captain Richard Phillips and some from the Somali Pirates, and he was a team leader for Operation Neptune Spear, the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.  In this powerful episode, Robert shares how mastering free throws opened his eyes to the power of muscle memory and the importance of setting both short- and long-term goals. He discusses how a breakup unexpectedly led him to enlist in the Navy, the rigorous journey to becoming a Navy SEAL—including the numbers behind selection, the grueling Hell Week, and the intense “drown-proofing” training designed to teach calm under pressure. Robert reflects on the critical need for adaptability, managing stress, and keeping things simple under extreme conditions. He opens up about the long-term emotional processing of his time on the SEAL team, takes us behind the scenes of the mission to find Osama Bin Laden, and shares the mindset that fueled that operation. Robert also discusses the aftermath of becoming publicly known as the man who killed Bin Laden, the financial realities faced by many in the military, and his efforts to support veterans through new initiatives. Finally, he explores the concept of the butterfly effect—and shares his perspective on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
