AI, Speed and the Future of Supply Chains
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026

Technology investment is no longer a luxury for supply chains, as it has become essential just to survive, let alone thrive. In this Talking Transports podcast, project44 founder and CEO Jett McCandless joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to discuss how AI is transforming global supply chains from reactive to autonomous. McCandless explains how project44’s decision intelligence platform uses AI and multi-agent workflows to help shippers and logistics providers analyze disruptions, optimize responses and act in real time across all modes. He shares why “decision speed” now matters more than transit speed, how visibility must evolve beyond alerts, and why 2026 will mark a turning point as companies demand hard returns from AI investments. McCandless also offers his outlook on nearshoring, geopolitics, freight markets and the leadership lessons learned from returning project44 to founder mode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
