    Resistance is futile - Ask Rich & Ed Ep23
    Apr 22 2026
    We get lots of questions from our listener on Procurement Says No. Now you can listen to them all again in our series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks. Like dog food.

    In episode 23 we are asked whether you should recruit people who are better than you; if rebates are ever good - even in a chaotic environment; and whether to resist when your business has been taken over and the procurement teams are being merged.

    All of the procurement questions, all of the time. Woohoo.
