Ever tried a free sample at Costco and ended up buying the product? Now imagine an app that tells you exactly where and when those experiences are happening near you. Al Schuster and Heather Johnson from Sample Finder join the show to talk about their brand new app that connects consumers with in-store demos, tastings, and brand activations. We dig into how experiential marketing works, why it matters for small businesses, and how Sample Finder is leveling the playing field so a startup cola brand gets the same visibility as a major soda company.

What happens when three tech entrepreneurs, armed with courage and a healthy dose of naivety, decide to disrupt Spain's insurance industry? Juan García, co-founder of Tuio, joins the Web Talk Show to share how they built Spain's first AI-native insurer, why 85% of their customer inquiries are handled by an AI agent named Leia, and how they're running at 3-4x the industry's average profit margin while being 15-20% cheaper than competitors.

What if the software you build today is meant to be thrown away tomorrow? Armando and Mike Carlo dive into the concept of "disposable tools," where AI agents can rebuild entire apps overnight, hyper-personalize workflows for individuals, and turn a 15-minute prompt session into hundreds of hours of saved time. Plus, they share how they're using OpenClaw to manage projects with an AI teammate named Alfred, and why treating your AI bot like a new employee is the smartest security move you can make.

Everyone's talking about OpenClaw (formerly ClaudeBot, formerly MoltBot). Is it just hype? Is it a glorified wrapper? In this episode, Armando breaks down what OpenClaw actually is, how to install it safely on an old computer, and why the ability to chat with a full-powered AI assistant through Telegram, WhatsApp, or iMessage changes the game. He walks through real use cases, from overnight research reports to video editing to collaboratively building a full app in a Telegram group chat, and explains why this project represents the future of how regular people and businesses will interact with AI.
