AI is not just a Silicon Valley story. It is showing up in plumbing trucks, remodel crews, and job sites everywhere. This conversation rethinks who will actually lead the next wave of AI adoption and why it might surprise you.

Alyssa Nolte sits down with Grant Fuellenbach to challenge the idea that AI belongs only to tech companies. Together, they unpack why blue collar and home service businesses may be better positioned to win with AI than most white collar teams. If you think AI is too complex, too technical, or not built for hands-on work, this episode will either prove you right or make you seriously rethink it.

You should listen if you care about practical AI, real-world adoption, and how better communication can create better customer relationships without adding more work.
