Ep 154: The Sourcing Hero Gets a Sidekick feat. Kris Lance

“People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.”

• Isaac Asimov

After 3.5 years and over 150 episodes, it had to happen eventually: The Sourcing Hero now has a Sidekick. This sidekick may be a monthly newsletter, but it is no less ready to fight the good fight than Robin, Chewbaca, or Dr. Watson.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes back Kris Lance, Senior Director at Una, for a recurring monthly conversation about current news stories. Kris has experience in multiple industries and has his finger on the pulse of the trends and topics that procurement, sourcing, and supply chain professionals need to be aware of.

In this conversation, Kris and Kelly talk about “The Sidekick” - Una’s new procurement newsletter: 

• What inspired him to start writing a monthly newsletter in addition to his regular visits on The Sourcing Hero podcast
• Who The Sidekick is written for and what readers can expect
• Some of the content features that will be included in each month’s edition
