    Inventory Management Tips for 2026

    Too many business owners treat inventory like a trophy — paid for, protected, and never marked down — even when it’s not selling.  Todd Fyfe calls it the raccoon trap: fist clenched around a penny they refuse to release, while cash, space, and opportunity stay stuck.  In this episode, Greg Forzani and Todd Fyfe dig into practical inventory management for retailers, manufacturers, distributors, trades, and any service business that stocks parts. They cover gross margin vs. net profit, inventory turns, payment terms, multiple deliveries, best-seller discipline, supplier negotiations, and why gross margin dollars per square foot is one of the most important numbers in the business. If you’ve ever had cash tied up in slow movers, run out of winners, or wondered whether your stockroom is helping or hurting, this conversation is packed with real-world lessons.  Key Takeaways: -       Gross margin % must cover operating expenses + target net profit -       Inventory turns directly affect how much cash is tied up -       Longer payment terms and split deliveries reduce financing pressure -       Never run out of your top sellers / “vanilla” -       Dead stock is a cash trap— mark it down, free the capital, redeploy it -       Hold every SKU accountable for space and margin dollars -       Suppliers will push extra products; protect your open-to-buy for what actually sells -       Brick-and-mortar wins with knowledge, experience, and in-stock winners -       Excess space and storage often signal inventory problems, not growth -       Gross margin dollars per square foot is a core performance metric Chapters 00:00 – The raccoon trap: holding inventory too tightly 01:06 – Intro & why inventory matters beyond pure retail 01:45 – Todd’s background in retail, wholesale & inventory 02:41 – Gross margin vs. net profit (and why wording matters) 04:59 – How few owners truly live by gross margin 08:04 – Payment terms, turns & financing inventory 10:49 – Real examples of too much inventory / slow turns 13:15 – Discounting aged inventory and margin damage 15:26 – Supplier vs. retailer inventory tension 17:35 – Multiple deliveries and reducing cash tied up 19:30 – Being “loaded” with inventory and missing best sellers 21:17 – Open-to-buy, booking less, repeating winners 27:13 – The ice cream lesson: always stock vanilla 30:18 – Out-of-stocks on winners and wasted shelf space 35:37 – Turning slow movers into cash for winners 37:18 – Letting go of dead stock and redeploying capital 43:09 – Competing with online retail 46:53 – Experience, staff engagement & in-store advantage 50:00 – Space, storage costs & Best Buy-style resets 54:48 – Using new product drops to drive repeat visits 57:20 – Eliminating warehouses / direct-to-location ordering 1:00:12 – Rent vs. inventory and square-footage discipline 1:05:36 – Why this applies to more businesses than people think 1:07:35 – Living off inventory fat until the business collapses Host is Greg Forzani.

    Fresh Roasted Coffee, Real Margins & Startup Lessons

    Sean Key started roasting coffee as a hobby with a heat gun and a popcorn popper. Friends asked for bags. He charged $5 and later realized he was basically paying them to take it.In this episode, Sean shares the full journey of turning that hobby into Fire and Ash Coffee — from sourcing better beans and ingredients, to roasting differently than the big brands, to finally understanding real cost of goods, margins, labor, shipping, and waste.You’ll also hear practical startup advice: how to source product without big buying power, why tracking every cost matters from day one, how AI can help with research, and why spouses need to be on the same page before the grind begins.Plus some genuinely useful coffee education: first crack, second crack, shelf life, why most grocery-store coffee is already past its best, and what actually makes a cup taste smooth instead of bitter.If you’re building a product business — or you just love great coffee — this one’s packed with real talk.
