Episode 4. Davie Holt and Landry Fields explore the latest in AI tools, marketing strategies, and the importance of human authenticity in digital content. They discuss AI advancements like Grok bot, Muse platform, and the future of local marketing and SEO.

Davie and Landry compare the latest wave of agentic AI tools with the practical realities of using them in business, especially for marketing, local visibility, and content creation. They make the case for using AI to amplify human voice—not replace it—with examples from insurance, podcasting, and local business promotion.

In this episode, they discuss how AI assistants are evolving from chat tools into agents that take action, why cross-platform workflows and backups matter, and how search behavior is changing as more people rely on AI summaries. They also explore why public speaking, authenticity, and local presence may become even more valuable as AI-generated content grows.

Episode 3. Davie Holt and Landry Fields on the AI news that actually moved this week, and what it means if you run a business instead of a data center.

Conversational AI is about to stop sounding like AI. Duplex models are landing by the end of the year, ChatGPT-6 Astra showed up with a million-token window, Fable 5.1 got cheaper, and Meta dropped a personal assistant app called Muse. Landry's call: by the end of the decade, typing is cursive.

Then the noise. A former researcher is on a media tour saying AI development is moving too fast and we are all gone by 2030. Davie puts the tinfoil hat on. Landry answers it with what the people actually working in AI security see every day, and neither of them lands where the headlines did.

Then the part worth your time if you own the business. Everything you build inside a chat window lives in that chat window until you put it somewhere else. Get a repository. It is how you change what you built six months from now, and it is what makes you portable the day a better model shows up.

Plus how many agents Landry actually runs in a week, the business partner who runs exactly one, and an honest walk through how this episode gets made.

Episode 2. Davie Holt and Landry Fields on the AI news that actually moved this week, and what it means if you run a business instead of a data center.

Stripe quietly acquired OpenRouter, the aggregator that sits in front of every major model. Then a mystery model called Ox Alpha showed up on that same platform, free, with a million-token window, and nobody will say who built it. Davie puts the tinfoil hat on for that one.

Also: GrokBot drops and xAI buys Cursor, why agent-based interfaces are a real shift and not a reskin, Qwen 3.8, and why the next race in AI is cost rather than capability.

Then the part worth your time if you own the business. Before you vibe code a solution to anything, answer one question: are you willing to stay in the pocket when it collapses? If you don't have the time to maintain it, it isn't worth building, and that has nothing to do with AI.

Plus the VA red flag every agency should be watching for, why accent mitigation changes what a virtual assistant can do, and what happened when Landry spent seven days replacing his agency's entire intranet with a Chrome extension.
