Summary
Live from Ingram Micro’s 2026 Trust X Alliance Unplugged event in (fabulous, trust them) Buffalo, N.Y., Erick and Rich discuss the role community and trust play in adapting to AI transformation and strategies for easing employee anxieties about what AI means for their job. Then Rich is joined by Bill Brandel, Ingram’s EVP and president, North America, for a conversation about how Ingram’s helping partners navigate ever-shifting price changes and supply shortages while preparing for success in the AI economy. And finally, one last thing: a helpful reminder that your local police department would prefer that you NOT bring your unused hand grenades to the station. Discussed in this episode: Ontario police: Do not bring grenades to police stations Some guests on this podcast are clients of Channel Mastered.
