Episode 234: AI for Fleet Leaders: Stop Waiting, Start Moving

The episode covers the arms race happening between major AI companies, the difference between using AI as a search engine versus a true work partner, and why fleet managers who refuse to engage are putting themselves at real risk. Josh breaks down practical advice for three distinct groups: those who haven't started yet, those who are dabbling, and power users ready to go deeper. He also shares how he personally uses AI to build custom learning curricula, run his company with better context, and collaborate on projects in ways that were impossible even a year ago. This is a grounded, no-hype conversation about what AI actually looks like in practice for fleet professionals, and what every fleet leader should do about it right now.
