Fleet moves your mail, your produce, your workforce — and most people have no idea how big the industry actually is.
Zā Farley, founder and CEO of Black Fleet Network, joins Chris Brandt on The Fleet to talk about community as infrastructure, why network is a verb, and how the leaders growing inside fleet are the ones expanding bandwidth, building real relationships, and refusing to stay comfortable.
From representation and supplier access to mentorship, sponsorship, and the trap of 'dinosauring' yourself out — this conversation is a practical playbook for anyone who wants to be relevant in fleet a year from now.
