What does the future of wholesale distribution look like as AI, supply chain volatility, consolidation, and human-centered leadership all accelerate at once?
For the 200th episode celebration of *Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution*, Kevin Brown and Tom Burton bring together a special panel of industry leaders to look at where distribution has been, where it is now, and what may be coming next.
This milestone conversation features Alex Chasovsky of 3DM Consulting, Dan Schubert of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, Steve Levy of Infor, Mike Marks of Indian River Consulting Group, and Dirk Beveridge of the Fully Alive Movement (FAM).
Together, they discuss the state of the economy, margin pressure, supply chain resilience, tariff uncertainty, AI adoption, data silos, distribution consolidation, robotics, and the role of people in the next era of the industry.
The conversation also looks ahead to what wholesale distribution may look like by Episode 300, including how distributors can use technology, data, and human judgment to become more profitable, more resilient, and more valuable to their customers.
