In this episode of the Fleet Success Show, host Josh Turley (CEO of RTA Fleet) interviews Fleet Success Ambassador Facundo Tessara about the creation and execution of the Fleet Success Book Club, which is built around the Fleet Success Playbook. Facundo explains how a chance discovery of a stack of books at the office sparked the idea to start a book club, how he organized two small groups (7‑8 participants each), and the format he used—sequencing discussions around the Playbook’s four pillars: stakeholder satisfaction, intentional culture, resource efficiency, and risk management. The conversation dives into key discussion highlights, including the importance of intentional culture, analogies from sports, the need for clear elevator pitches, electric‑vehicle deployment challenges, recruitment and technical‑school partnerships, HR involvement in hiring, and vendor participation. Both hosts stress the value of active participation, sharing a common vocabulary, and the educational impact of book clubs for fleet professionals. They promote the free copy of the Fleet Success Playbook (fleetsuccessplaybook.com) and invite listeners to join future book‑club sessions (Book Club 2.0 in February) via LinkedIn. The episode ends with a call to action to follow the hosts, request the book, and explore RTA Fleet’s software and consulting services.
