About this episode

Karthik interviews David Gordon about effective business scaling strategies in the electrical distribution industry.

In this episode, Karthik sits down with David Gordon to unpack the state of the electrical distribution industry — from data center growth and reshoring manufacturing to the business growth strategies helping distributors go from $25M to $75M in four years. He shares why people will always be the number one differentiator in distribution, why it's important to focus on customer relations above all, why e-commerce is a facilitator and not a driver, and where AI's real low-hanging fruit actually is.
