Every operations leader I talk to is carrying the same secret right now.

Their VP asked for an AI plan. They said absolutely. Then they went back to their desk and had no idea where to start.

If that's you - this episode was made for you.

This week Marcus, Director of Operations at a regional logistics company in Ohio, asks the question nobody says out loud: "I don't know enough about AI to lead my team through this. Where do I even start?"

In this episode:

• Why you don't need to be the AI expert — you need to be the structure
• Why your operational knowledge is your biggest advantage right now
• Why your first move isn't a plan — it's one question you ask your team this week

This Week's AI Hot Tip:
Send this message to your three or four closest team leads this week: "Quick question — where does our work slow down? What takes longer than it should?" No agenda, no AI mention. Just listen. The answers are your AI plan.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. You don't need to be the AI expert. You need to be the structure.
2. Start with what you know, not what you don't. Your workflows are your starting point.
3. Your first move isn't a plan. It's a question.
