But do disruptions in global supply chains, fueled by geopolitical crises, threaten to undo all this economic progress? In our 2024 kickoff episode, we give our top economic insights (and some economic predictions as well) for the wholesale distribution industry. And as always, we talk take a deep look into how artificial intelligence plays into all of this!
