Behind The Bid

Behind the Bid pulls back the curtain on what really happens in government contracting.

Hosted by Natasha Velez and Tammy Hester, two women who’ve been in the rooms, read the fine print, and lived through the wins and losses of government contracting. This podcast delivers unfiltered conversations about federal contracting, procurement strategy, proposal chaos, industry politics, and the decisions that never make it into the slide deck.

This isn’t surface-level GovCon advice or recycled panel talking points. It’s real talk about capture mistakes, proposal war stories, teaming dynamics, agency behavior, and the business realities behind winning and losing bids; told with experience, humor, and absolutely no fluff!

If you’re a government contractor, consultant, small business, or industry partner who wants insight beyond compliance checklists, Behind the Bid is where the honest conversations happen.
