Thank you to Kevin Brown for joining our podcast! We have talked about him enough to warrant an excellent appearance for all of you. Kevin and Jeff Kurkjian both attended Syracuse University however just missed each other by just one year. Imagine that dynamic duo working at the same station at the same time? Unstoppable. But nonetheless, Kevin Brown went from college to do big things as a broadcaster including calling games with our very own Tim Kurkjian, an even better duo we might add. He currently serves as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles working along side a former guest of ours, the great Jim Palmer. Let us just say, we've had a lot of guests at this point and his impression of Palmer might be the best impression we've had (Jason Benetti, you're in the conversation don't worry). We want to thank Kevin Brown for his time, yes, this is broadcaster Kevin Brown, not the former big leaguer (wait until you see the autographed ball Kevin Brown has). Thanks for taking the time to listen, make sure to share this episode with a friend who loves baseball and laughter as much as we do.

Episode 6: Breathe a SighThis week, your Regarding…Slang crew — Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz — are joined by Darren Paltrowitz and Duane Hoffman as they take a long, sometimes painful look at Def Leppard's third single from Slang: “Breathe a Sigh.”The song itself? Joe Elliott goes full falsetto crooner over a groove that sounds more R&B than Daryl Hall going to his "special place". Some of us hear a tender ballad, others hear the band wandering into karaoke night at the wrong pub. Just to make things messier, we spin the rough mix — and suddenly the track takes a turn for demo hell, raising questions about what the band (and producer Pete Woodroffe, whose résumé gets its own hilarious breakdown) thought they were chasing...clearly they were trying to tickle Kevin Brown's berries.This episode features:

Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown welcome original Atlas player and current assistant coach/assistant GM Steven Brooks to the show to discuss getting over the hump and winning New York's first championship. From the disappointing first round exits to the crushing semifinal defeats to now champions, there is no better guest to discuss the Atlas rise to the top of the mountaintop than the man who had a say in drafting and constructing every singe player on the title-winning roster that has been there for it all. Brooks helps Rosie and Kevin relive the 2025 epic championship clash in all of its glory with insights on the hectic dramatic final minute, a hot offensive start, and some key words from Xander Dickson that stuck with him. Whether it's the story behind his Carolina kicks or getting some behind the scenes on the guys who celebrated hardest and danced the most, this is a must-listen podcast for all Atlas/PLL fans. From there, Rosie and Kevin put a bow on the seventh PLL season, sizing up how epic the title game ranks, how an Outlaws-Atlas Finals rivalry could be special for years to come, and start looking ahead to key storylines to look forward to this offseason.

Is the Fed too late to cut rates—and what does it mean for distributors?In this episode of Around The Horn in Wholesale Distribution, hosts Kevin Brown and Tom Burton unpack the week's economic headlines and explore how interest rate cuts, tariffs, and global supply chain volatility are reshaping the manufacturing and wholesale distribution landscape. From AI-driven sales playbooks to the hidden risks in employment data, Kevin and Tom reveal the trends that matter most for distributors, manufacturers, and independent sales agencies navigating digital transformation.What You'll Learn:Economic Risk Signals – Why the Fed's quarter-point rate cut may not be enough to counter labor market headwinds or supply chain slowdowns.AI Adoption in Distribution – How smart CRM platforms and industry-specific AI agents are transforming sales enablement and customer intelligence.Tariff Strategy & USMCA – How Canada and Mexico are positioning ahead of 2025 trade renegotiations and what that means for North American distributors.Future of B2B Buying – Why millennial buyers are shifting to app-based e-commerce and conversational AI instead of traditional catalogs.Sales Playbooks that Work – How AI-powered, buyer-centric playbooks outperform static sales scripts in today's digitally mature market.Episode Highlights:03:22 – Fed rate cuts and why lagging indicators may lead to late action11:48 – Labor market trends and the rise of “bandwagon layoffs”21:35 – Tariff uncertainty and how distributors are rewriting supplier contracts34:57 – Global Supply Chain Volatility Index: what a negative reading signals for Q448:29 – How Reddit, Wikipedia, and Amazon shape AI model training data58:12 – AI-driven e-commerce: the shift from website traffic to mobile buying apps01:09:46 – Building dynamic, AI-powered sales playbooks that meet the modern buyer01:21:30 – Why top talent quits when career growth stalls—and how leaders can respondMeet the Hosts:Kevin Brown and Tom Burton are lifelong friends, seasoned entrepreneurs, and co-founders of LeadSmart Technologies, the AI-enabled CRM and customer intelligence platform built exclusively for wholesale distribution and manufacturing.Tools, Frameworks & Strategies Mentioned:LeadSmart AI-Enabled Customer Intelligence Platform – A smart CRM built for distributors and manufacturers.Global Supply Chain Volatility Index (GEP/S&P) – A new indicator tracking global supply chain stress.AI Sales Playbook Model – Dynamic, signal-based playbooks for B2B sales teams.Closing Insight:“Today's layoffs aren't always about a weak ecoLeave a Review: Help us grow by sharing your thoughts on the show.Learn more about the LeadSmart AI B2B Sales Platform: https://www.leadsmarttech.com/ Join the conversation each week on LinkedIn Live.Want even more insight to the stories we discuss each week?

IL's Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown welcome on a handful of guests during the league's championship media day to get their thoughts on the title game tilt between the New York Atlas and Denver Outlaws. For New York, head coach Mike Pressler, defenseman Gavin Adler, attackman Jeff Teat, and midfielders Reid Bowering plus rookies Hugh Kelleher and Matt Traynor join the show to answer a range of compelling and comedic questions. For Denver, a Terrapin theme emerged with veteran defenseman Jesse Bernhardt, rookie goalie Logan McNaney, middie Jonathan Donville before SSDM of the Year Ryan Terefenko and former Richmond great Dalton Young rounded things out.

Episode 5: Work It OutThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz welcome back Van Halen expert David "Loud Dave" Criblez from the Dave and Dave Unclained podcast, as they tackle Def Leppard's second single from Slang: "Work It Out."It's straight into why this Vivian Campbell-penned track might be Def Leppard's most commercial underrated gem—or at least the one song that proves Joe Elliott doesn't need to hit the stratosphere to sound great.The song itself? Written entirely by Vivian Campbell, it sits perfectly in Joe's lower register and strips away the signature Mutt Lange production sheen for something that feels like you're watching the band rehearse. It's got industrial touches without going full Nine Inch Nails, a 40-second instrumental section that lets the music breathe, and lyrics about actually working through relationship problems instead of just rocking out or walking the effin dog or taking out the trash...This episode features:

Chris Rosenthall and Kevin Brown welcome veteran close defenseman Michael Manley to the show to discuss his Outlaws giving him a fourth chance at a professional championship. Manley is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year back in the MLL days playing for Tim Soudan for the Rattlers (he actually started playing for Soudan at the club level before he got to Duke, where he won a NCAA title in 2010), and made it to three title games in 2014, 2015 and 2018. Manley discussed how he originally thought about retiring two years ago before Soudan drafted Brennan O'Neill and traded for Pat Kavanagh, re-energizing his efforts these past couple seasons. Rosie and Kevin also recapped the semifinal victories for the New York Atlas against the Waterdogs and Denver against California, setting the stage for what promises to be an epic clash in the title game on Sept. 14.

What happens when AI adoption, tariffs, and interest rate cuts collide with the future of wholesale distribution?In this lively episode of Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution, Kevin Brown and Tom Burton tackle the jobs report, the Supreme Court's tariff ruling, and why AI regulation needs a federal playbook, not 50 state ones. You'll learn how LeadSmart Channel Cloud™ is cracking the code on CRM adoption, why decentralized data may surface economic truth faster than the Fed, and what ethical AI frameworks mean for hiring and sales.What You'll Learn:Why CRM adoption fails, and how LeadSmart Channel Cloud™ is reframing it as a Customer Enablement ToolHow decentralized markets like Polymarket highlight flaws in outdated economic data modelsWhy the Supreme Court tariff decision could trigger refunds, reboot negotiations, or reinforce continuityHow state-by-state AI laws risk creating chaos, and why federal AI policy is the only scalable solutionWhy businesses need AI ethics and HR policies before innovation turns into liabilityEpisode Highlights:04:05 – Moonwalking office chairs, beach fog, and 157 weeks of distribution insights 12:20 – Why CRM adoption stalls, and how to build a system for willing adoption 23:42 – Jobs report shock: only 22,000 new jobs and what it signals for the Fed 35:18 – Polymarket vs. the Fed: can decentralized prediction markets beat outdated models? 47:02 – Tariff ruling chaos: Emergency Powers Act, refunds, and six statutory alternatives 59:15 – Why state-level AI laws could stifle innovation and confuse distributors 01:12:40 – AI in hiring: keyword-stuffed resumes, ethics policies, and the new HR reality 01:25:33 – Closing reflections: community, leadership, and why balanced trade mattersTools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned:LeadSmart Channel Cloud™ – AI-enabled CRM + customer intelligence platformAI Co-Pilot for Sales – embedding intelligence into daily sales activityPolymarket – decentralized prediction market surfacing sentimentE³ Model – Experience, Efficiency, Effectiveness as leadership prioritiesAI Ethics Policies – workplace guidelines for safe, compliant AI adoptionClosing Insight:“If you have siloed data, you have siloed AI.

Episode 4: All I Want Is EverythingThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by Michael Pastore as they tackle one of Def Leppard's saddest turns into balladry: “All I Want Is Everything.”Before the song even spins, the guys detour through RushFest Toronto stories, bot-spam in the DMs, and a full-on Chazgasm about why Joe Elliott should get more credit as a lyricist. From there, things go off the rails: Corey calls the track “U2-like” and “Tom Petty-esque,” which is basically the podcasting equivalent of pushing Kevin Brown off a cliff in a straight-jacket. Somewhere out there, Kevin's ears are bleeding while Chaz argues this is a dirge, Wolfie swears it's hopeful, and Michael Pastore just wants to call it a breakup song.The song itself? A stripped-back, unusually sad moment in the Slang experiment, or even the entire Def Leppard catalog, with Joe saying it's about “birth, death, and divorce” while Rick Savage once claimed it was about a man dying of AIDS. Whatever the truth, there's no sugar or sparkle—just regret, grief, and one of Leppard's rawest ever recordings.This episode features:
