Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Podcast with Jonathan Green! In this episode, we delve into the art of cost reduction and its intersection with AI, featuring our special guest, Larry Levine, from P3 Cost Analysts. Larry has extensive experience in helping businesses reduce their indirect vendor overcharges, a crucial aspect often overlooked by many companies.

Larry introduces us to the concept of indirect vendor costs, which include expenses for telecom, utilities, waste, insurance, and property tax—costs that are often seen as non-negotiable. With a unique industry insights approach, Larry demonstrates how many of these costs can be negotiated down, sometimes by up to 75%, offering substantial savings for businesses.
