This week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell all but signed off on an upcoming rate cut. The market responded immediately, and a collective cheer went up among businesses and consumers alike.

But the question remains: how much of a cut will we see? And will there be multiple small cuts over time or a large single cut to supercharge growth? Oh, and does this mean a soft landing for the economy - no recession?

More importantly, what does this mean for wholesale distribution?

In this episode, Kevin and Tom look at all the implications of an upcoming rate cut (aside from the prospect of a lost bet and a steak dinner), including how jobless claims, business activity, and the general state of the economy factor into what's ahead.

And of course, we have a deep analysis of all this week's news in AI, B2B eCommerce, M&A, cybersecurity and supply chain!
