Supplier consolidation sounds simple — fewer suppliers, less admin, better pricing. But done wrong, it's one of the fastest ways to create a single point of failure in your supply chain. In this episode, June and Jack dig into why so many product businesses get this wrong, how to think about concentration risk, when consolidation actually makes sense, and what a smart supplier portfolio looks like in 2026.

Hosts: June & Jack

Topics covered:

• What supplier consolidation actually means (and what it doesn't)

• Concentration risk — how many eggs in one basket is too many?

• When to consolidate vs when to diversify your supplier base

• Building resilience without sacrificing the cost benefits of fewer suppliers
