AI agents are no longer a future concept reserved for big tech companies. They're already changing how small businesses handle invoices, manage inventory, generate reports, and interact with their own tools. But if you're a small business owner outside the tech world, it can be hard to know where to start or whether any of this even applies to you.

In this solo episode, Armando J. Perez-Carreno breaks down what agentic AI actually is, how it differs from traditional chatbot interactions, and why it matters for businesses of every size.

Joshua Resnikoff built patents at Harvard Med and launched multiple companies, but it was his son's years-long battle with a rare hyperinflammatory condition that changed everything. After watching his family bounce through the healthcare system for years without answers, he founded Sunstone Health to end what's called the "diagnostic odyssey," cutting the average seven-year path to diagnosis down to about 12 weeks. In this episode, Joshua breaks down the broken incentives between hospitals and insurance companies, explains how AI and whole genome sequencing are putting better tools in doctors' hands, and shares how over 800 investors on WeFunder have backed his mission to fix healthcare for millions of families.

Travis Malone has spent six years in cybersecurity helping Fortune 100 companies figure out how to protect themselves from threats most of them haven't even thought about yet. In this episode, he breaks down why AI is expanding the attack surface faster than most security teams can respond, how quantum computing is quietly closing in on breaking the encryption that protects everything from your bank account to your business data, and why the convergence of those two forces is going to change everything. Travis also explains what MCP security risks look like in practice, what agentic AI does to your threat model, and what even small businesses should be doing right now before the window closes.

Jason Fishman has spent 15 years building one of the most specialized marketing agencies in the world: helping startups raise capital from retail investors online. In this episode, he breaks down how Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+ campaigns work, why having thousands of small investors can be more powerful than landing one big VC check, and how digital marketing is transforming the way founders fund their companies. If you have ever wondered how businesses raise millions from everyday people online, this conversation will change how you see startup investing.

Most people with serious wealth are still getting little league coaching when they need pro-level guidance. Ken Himmler, founder of OneWealthMap and Fintomic AI, built a family office specifically for the two to twenty-five million dollar bracket that the big players ignore. In this episode, Ken breaks down what a family office actually is, why fragmented financial advice is quietly costing business owners a fortune, and how he is using AI to cut labor by 50% and rethink the entire financial advisory model. If you have been growing your wealth without upgrading your team, this conversation will change how you think about money management.

Jose Duarte is a performance marketer with 15 years in finance and mobile apps who had no software development background. When his company gave its team an open-ended challenge to just figure out what AI could do, Jose ended up building a production web app connected to the Meta API, a full iOS app, and a custom multi-agent development workflow in Claude Code. In this conversation, we get into how he structures agents, why metaphors and analogies unlock better results from LLMs, and what it actually looks like when a non-developer builds real software with AI tools from scratch.

Most developers think about how to build software right. Security experts think about what can go wrong. Nir Valtman, co-founder and security veteran at Arnica, joins the show to talk about why those two mindsets are constantly in conflict, and what that means now that AI is writing your code. We get into prompt injection attacks, the real risks of agentic tools like OpenClaw, and a simple but powerful trick to make every AI coding session more secure by default. If you are building anything with AI tools right now, this one is worth your time.
