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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
