What happens when AI stops just answering you—and starts acting for you?

In this episode of the Weekly ROAR Podcast, Dustin Hedrick and Brandon Billings explore the coming agentic revolution, a shift from AI assistants that help us think to AI agents that can actually act, transact, build, negotiate, and operate on our behalf.

As AI agents become a new class of internet user, they will need more than intelligence. They will need identity, permissions, wallets, payment rails, security, accountability, and verifiable access. Dustin and Brandon break down why this emerging economy could fundamentally change search, commerce, banking, business creation, and the way we interact with the internet.

•  Why AI agents are becoming economic actors rather than simply smarter assistants 
•  The infrastructure agents will need—including wallets, identity, permissions, stablecoins, and programmable payments 
•  Why businesses need to start designing for both human users and AI agents as the internet moves toward agent-driven commerce

•  Why AI agents, stablecoins, launch pads, and tokenization are becoming essential infrastructure for the next digital economy

In this episode of the Weekly ROAR Podcast, Dustin Hedrick and Brandon Billings explore one of the most significant shifts shaping the future of the internet: the transition from followers to stakeholders.
