MDM Amplify Podcast: Rerouted and Resilient — How Distributors & Carriers Redesign for Disruption

Sponsored by Grant Thornton, this podcast episode features a trio of specialists to discuss the moves that distributors and transportation providers are making to go from reacting to the new normal of constant disruption, to getting ahead of the curve to be ready for whatever comes next. Tariffs are only one piece of that puzzle.
A rugged chain in the process of breaking. One of the links has shattered in two pieces, with fragments flying off. The chain is positioned on a pure white background.

While tariffs have dominated 2025 industry discussions in distribution and transportation, they’re not the only thing keeping stakeholders up at night. Players in this arena have been combating non-stop supply chain disruption since 2020, and it’s gone on long enough that plenty of companies are thinking deeper about their longer-term strategies with how to become more agile and resilient.

There’s a lot of factors at play here for distributors and transportation providers, and we break it all down in the latest MDM Amplify Podcast — our channel that is all about elevating vendor voices and industry solutions that serve distributors. This episode features a conversation between three experts from Grant Thornton — a professional services firm known for its expertise in audit, tax and advisory solutions that help organizations navigate complex business challenges.

Here, Russell Norris, Jonathan Eaton and Brad Hulbert provide key insights into how leading organizations are redesigning networks, managing costs and building flexible, resilient operations to position distribution and transportation providers as engines of competitive advantage.
