In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and his brother Travis break down why “agents” are about to dominate 2026—and the viral open-source agent runner now known as OpenClaw (formerly “ClawdBot” and “MoltBot”). They unpack what makes it powerful, why it’s a security nightmare right now, and what marketers should focus on instead (hint: reps, orchestration, and tried-and-true AI workflows you’re probably underusing).
