In this episode, Joshua Gillow sits down with Ryan Englin of Core Matters to talk about how AI is reshaping leadership, hiring, and communication in the trades. Ryan shares why the real problem behind most staffing struggles isn't a lack of leads or a labor shortage, but a retention problem rooted in poor communication.
