How Much Are Our Fixes Worth? Let's Find Out Together!
Descripción del Episodio
In this special episode of We Fixed It, You’re Welcome, the team welcomes back financial expert Lukas Sundahl to put real numbers behind our hypothetical business fixes.
What’s the actual value of “fixing” a struggling company?
Lukas analyzes three big names—Southwest Airlines, Party City, and Jaguar—and shows how our proposed strategies could have meant millions in revenue, survival, and long-term brand strength.
Expect insights on:
Why Southwest’s baggage fees could still work without killing loyalty?
How Party City could have survived with community-driven retail?
What Jaguar missed in its EV pivot and how to reclaim brand trust?
This episode blends strategy + financial modeling, proving that fixing companies isn’t just theory—it’s measurable impact.
Listen, learn, and maybe rethink how YOU approach business pivots.
We dive deep into the real numbers behind our “fixes.” With returning guest Lukas Sundahl (CFO, financial strategist, LinkedIn thought leader), we analyze three case studies:
- Southwest Airlines: Would baggage fees really alienate customers? Or could they generate $350M–$450M while keeping loyalty intact?
- Party City: How localized inventory and community tie-ins might have saved them from bankruptcy—potentially adding $43M–$130M in value.
- Jaguar: The pitfalls of abandoning brand heritage in the EV race—and how aligning EVs with Jaguar’s legacy could mean $35M–$179M in gains.

The Truth About Natalie
By shows
Twenty-seven-year-old Natalie Jones vanished after a July 4th lake party in Alabama in 2020. Ninety-three days later, her car and her remains were found in a rural Georgia field. No arrest. No clear answer. No closure for the family left behind.The official theory was an accidental overdose. But a negative toxicology report, a drug baggie with no fingerprints, and a phone that never left Natalie's hand — one that’s still missing — tell a different story. Shortly before her death, Natalie had begun speaking out about the men in her life: a bitter ex-husband, an alleged childhood abuser, a lover tied to drug trafficking. Host Sean Kipe investigates what happened to Natalie Jones. Was it an overdose? An accident? Or something the people closest to her have been protecting for years?
