In this episode, Robbie & Roger recap Vistara 2026 in Austin, Texas, a two-day agency-for-agencies conference put on by E2M Solutions. This one wasn’t built around a single technology stack — it was built around the business of running an agency in an AI-first world, complete with a live AI Lab, action-item-heavy keynotes, and a diverse room of owners comparing notes on what’s actually working. Featured takeaways from Jason Swank on building your own AI operating system, Brittany Mueller’s viral “go build your ugly project” challenge, Andy Crestodina on AI citation hunting as the new backlink hunting, and David C. Baker’s closing “get on the bus” keynote. Plus the vendor and media-partner view from Roger (sponsoring with Kinsta) and Robbie (media partner running a five-camera podcast studio on site).

Oh my goodness.
2
:I've been so inspired.
3
:Especially since this morning.
4
:I mean, I'd are just like ping
ping ping ping ping.
5
:And that's what I came for.
6
:I came for ideas.
7
:I came to be inspired.
8
:I came to just soak it all in.
9
:And that's exactly what's happening.
10
:And I'm loving every minute of it.
It's amazing.
11
:It's a lot of knowledge
a lot of enlightenment
12
:with how AI tools
are shaping the future of the industry.
13
:So has been a great two days so far
and looking forward
14
:to the ending
15
:Hey, Roger.
16
:Hey, Robbie.
17
:Wow. We we did three conferences
in the last two months.
18
:It's crazy. Yeah, it's been, it's been.
19
:And then those were just.
20
:Yeah, those are just the ones that we
that we recorded, right?
21
:I mean, you've been to others.
22
:I think I've been to one other,
so that's crazy.
23
:But I really like these bonus episodes
that we're doing about the events.
24
:And we didn't we didn't
25
:we didn't talk about it at the star,
and that's just because we were so busy.
26
:But Vistara in Austin, Texas.
27
:Now, I forget the dates on it,
but it was in May, mid-May.
28
:Yeah, mid-May, I know. Where were we?
29
:We don't know. So it was different though.
30
:I thought for me it was a different type
conference and I really enjoyed it.
31
:Vistara was agency based,
so it was a little broader.
32
:It wasn't focused on one technology.
33
:But yeah.
34
:And and it was very business
focused. Right.
35
:Like the people that were there.
36
:Sure, there were some developers there,
but the vast majority of people,
37
:there were agency owners, marketers
in the agency space.
38
:And so it was a lot, a lot more high level
discussion, which I'm with you.
39
:In the last few years,
I've actually specifically been trying
40
:to go to more conferences like this where
41
:it's just different, right?
42
:You're not getting bogged down
into the specific technologies.
43
:You're talking more about business,
general things, operating your agency,
44
:finding clients, delivering for clients.
45
:And, you know, Vistara is put on by E2,
46
:which is a white label agency.
47
:They usually work behind the scenes
48
:with other agencies
and do the really technical stuff.
49
:And so it was really cool for to see them
bring together
50
:a really cool group of attendees,
speakers.
51
:And I mean, the sponsors were pretty good.
52
:I got to say at least that those kids to
guys, those kids had their stuff together.
53
:so I guess this is year two of a star.
54
:This is my first time here,
and I can't remember the last time.
55
:I've just been at a conference
by agencies for agencies.
56
:Right. Which is really cool.
57
:I was an agency for 17 years and
we really never had anything like this.
58
:It was always some kind of tech conference
or some kind of, you know, very niche
59
:specific thing, but not something
that was actually there to support agency.
60
:So this has been a welcome change of pace.
61
:I wish I had it 17 years ago.
62
:we actually we had Brant, who runs E2,
63
:EMS solutions on the show
on a previous episode.
64
:And and as if anyone listened
to that show, you know, they are all about
65
:AI forward.
66
:And so even though it wasn't one
particular technology, it we definitively
67
:there was a focus on how to implement
and use AI not only for your clients.
68
:Right.
69
:But they were also talking about
which I think was much more interesting
70
:to the agency owners
on how they can use it internally
71
:and how it can help them
get themselves up to speed internally
72
:by switching a lot of their AI, switching
a lot of their processes to using AI.
73
:And they didn't just tell you
this is what you needed to do at Vistara.
74
:That was the thing I thought was the best
was that they actually showcased it.
75
:We actually saw them doing it on stage
and then also their
76
:their AI lab that they put together,
which was really cool.
77
:And I don't know if you had much time
to go into that AI lab, but it was
78
:it was pretty impressive,
especially for agency owners.
79
:And I heard some of them
talking about it afterwards
80
:because they could go in and literally
talk to that AI bot,
81
:tell them about their business,
and it would in five minutes
82
:give them some action items.
83
:And so it was
it was a actually working AI lab,
84
:which that's really cool because again,
we go to a lot of these conferences
85
:and everybody's like, you got to use AI,
you got to use AI.
86
:But that's where they stop, right?
87
:It's like,
yes, go do it. Just go start doing it.
88
:Well, okay.
But that's sometimes overwhelming,
89
:especially for agency owners.
They're busy.
90
:They're really busy.
91
:They know they can't
miss this opportunity, but they're busy.
92
:And so seeing actual practical application
not just go do this,
93
:but literally let me show you
what we're doing with this.
94
:It was that was impressive.
95
:I felt like and I felt like the attendees,
that's what they were talking about even
96
:now on LinkedIn.
97
:I actually just saw somebody yesterday
post about that AI lab and they were like,
98
:so impressive.
99
:And they were telling other agency owners
100
:and then they were going in there
to go do it, you know?
101
:And so yeah, pretty cool.
102
:I thought, The
the speakers were all really great.
103
:I didn't get to catch a lot of them,
but it sounds like you did.
104
:Tell me about your
who was your top three speakers?
105
:Okay. Top three speakers. Definitely.
106
:Brittany Brittany Mueller was going to be
she's going to be one of mine.
107
:And I'm going to take I'm
108
:going to take Brant and set him aside
because he was he's like MC speaker right.
109
:And Brent's always he's
just good on the stage.
110
:So Brant Brant was excellent.
111
:Yeah he is, but I'm not going to use him
as one of my three spots.
112
:He'll be somewhere above that. Right okay.
113
:But now
so the others Brittany Mueller loved it.
114
:I thought that Jason Swank,
115
:his talk was really, really well done.
116
:And he had a little bit
of technical difficulties there.
117
:That wasn't his fault,
but there were a little bit
118
:of technical difficulties with the,
the mic or the
119
:I mean, the PowerPoint,
I think, but otherwise though, sure,
120
:it was valuable information
that it wasn't AI.
121
:That's true.
122
:That's true
because I would not have had that.
123
:Of course, we were physically in the room
too, so that that helps right now.
124
:Now, I don't know, in ten years from now,
I don't know.
125
:We won't know if it's their clone
or if it's them.
126
:I don't know, but, Yeah. No. So Jason.
127
:Jason really talked about that
at a high level with the, the like,
128
:kind of creating your own
operating system with AI.
129
:And so I really that was a
it was a really cool concept.
130
:He also gave away he had a link
so you could go he's giving away the tool
131
:that he's kind of put together.
And we talked about.
132
:So you can go
and use what he's put together.
133
:Brittany Mueller
I thought that her examples
134
:were really relevant.
135
:Relevant to the room, relevant to our time
we're in in AI.
136
:So the examples she gave of things
that you should start trying to do,
137
:you should start building
now. And I loved it.
138
:She had probably the best takeaway
139
:call out when she said, go
build your ugly project.
140
:Now she's like,
just build it. It's going to be ugly.
141
:It's the first one, right?
142
:But that takeaway
I've seen resonate on LinkedIn to
143
:for people who are at Vistara, I see them
saying, oh, what was your ugly project
144
:you did after the week after,
and she had lots of good metrics.
145
:I felt like to show to,
to show kind of where we are in this
146
:AI world and, and the adoption rates
and things like that.
147
:I thought that, that her numbers
that she had were really good.
148
:I have had several people come up to me
after the talk
149
:saying that they want to build a thing
that does this and this and this and this.
150
:That's great.
151
:You can get there.
You have to chunk it out.
152
:You have to have an engineering mindset,
which we as marketers don't really have.
153
:We're not taught.
154
:We're not we don't flex that thinking
that's not how we operate,
155
:but taking a task and really
breaking it down into individual steps, as
156
:if you were going to hand it to an intern
in another room via a sheet of paper.
157
:That's the level of kind of logic
that you have to break it down,
158
:and then you can actually work with AI
159
:to figure out what that build
might look like and get some momentum,
160
:get some excitement and wins that sort of
get things going.
161
:What?
I heard of Andy, Christine, Christina.
162
:I didn't get to stay for his entire one.
Krista. Dina.
163
:That's it. I didn't get to say for his.
164
:Yeah, yeah, but I think you did. Right.
165
:You got to hear his.
166
:That's the one you heard
and I didn't. Yeah.
167
:So that was one.
168
:You know,
I caught a webinar with him a few months
169
:ago, also sponsored by ETA. And
170
:he's very
171
:tactical, especially with the whole go,
172
:which is still SEO just we're using AI now
173
:and he does really good deep dives
just super quickly.
174
:And so one of the really big takeaways
I got from him
175
:is when you're analyzing
your client's websites
176
:and what AI is saying about them,
you can dig into how the AI is producing
177
:those results and and find
where the citations are coming from.
178
:And you can do this with your competitors
websites.
179
:And so now this is the new form of
backlink hunting, right.
180
:Like you used to look at a competitor's
site, analyze their backlinks,
181
:go get those backlinks for your client
and you're at least showing up on
182
:the same page now.
183
:So now the new thing with AI is
finding out where the citations are that
184
:AI is now using for generating results
for your competitors sites.
185
:And the big takeaway in all of that is,
186
:you know, in the news right
now, and a lot of people are talking about
187
:the most important place you need to have
mentions is Reddit, right?
188
:We're all being told that, hey, you need
189
:your client
needs to be talked about in Reddit
190
:because that's where the
AI is getting the results.
191
:Well, Andy did a quick demo
showing that Reddit doesn't show up at all
192
:for when you start getting very specific
for industry and business
193
:stuff, and instead it's much more.
194
:It's classic SEO. Robbie.
195
:Oh my god, it's 2012
all over again, right?
196
:Industry trade publications.
197
:Your company's website.
198
:Oh my gosh, blow my brain.
199
:We still need to have websites
and put good content out there.
200
:And and so
that was a really great takeaway for me.
201
:This whole the whole Reddit hype train.
202
:Look, if you're Coca-Cola, if you are,
you know, a major fortune 500 brand, yes,
203
:you probably need to at least be watching
204
:what people are saying about you on Reddit
because it's probably not good.
205
:But but for these, for small businesses,
no no no no, don't don't waste your time
206
:on Reddit.
207
:It's a cesspool.
208
:You're going to get caught up
209
:and then you're
going to go onto the popular page
210
:and you're going to spend all day
just scrolling.
211
:So anyway,
I really enjoyed Andy's presentation.
212
:He and then he was showing
like the actual stuff.
213
:It was too fast for you to kind of like
214
:write down what it was,
but he was showing you his prompts.
215
:And, you know,
216
:I'm going to eat up a little more air here
and just mention the other takeaway
217
:is that he has a project
for creating prompts.
218
:And so use AI to help
you create your prompts.
219
:And then he's got like these five page
prompts that he's created.
220
:So anyway, I think the big thing
I'm talking about here is
221
:I don't know what I'm
doing at all with AI.
222
:And when I go to these conferences,
it really shows me
223
:like I'm just scratching the surface
with these tools.
224
:So yeah, I know,
and I feel like you're right.
225
:Even we feel like we're behind with AI
when we go to these
226
:and we see some of this stuff
people are doing.
227
:But then when we go outside of industry
and you're talking
228
:to your friends and family,
that's when you go, well, okay, maybe
229
:I do know a little bit more about it
than I thought,
230
:because then they're just kind of
like what they are like.
231
:They're like, Claude, what? What?
232
:Yeah.
233
:So, we can't beat ourselves up,
234
:but there's so much it's somewhat no one's
going to know everything about it ever.
235
:But all we can do is try and keep up.
236
:And as agency owners out there,
they really have to keep on top of this
237
:just because it's coming
whether you want it or not.
238
:And it's going to be requested of you
whether you want it to be or not.
239
:Right now, there will there be
some agencies that hang out there going,
240
:like we're never going to use
an AI tool, probably,
241
:and they will have some sort of clientele
base.
242
:That's the I don't want you to ever use
AI on my thing.
243
:So there's still going to be those people,
244
:I believe,
but they're going to be much more niche.
245
:And they're it's just going to be
a different world for them.
246
:At a certain point,
especially five years from now.
247
:Can you imagine?
248
:Look at where we are now.
249
:Where are we going to be in five years?
250
:So I mean, it's kind of like trying to say
you're not going to wear polyester.
251
:Good luck.
252
:Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. It's in every good luck. Right.
253
:And I mean these tools,
whether we call it AI
254
:or whatever, like these tools are in
everything that we're using now.
255
:So I think there's almost a sense
of delusion to say you're not using AI.
256
:But, you know, I get it.
257
:Now, let's talk
a little meta for a second.
258
:We've gone along with this,
but I want to get meta for a second,
259
:because there was a whole nother component
to the Vistara event for us.
260
:I was a sponsor with Kinston.
We had a booth.
261
:You mentioned that
we also you were a vendor.
262
:You were shooting video.
263
:You and your partner Michael
were just running around like crushing it.
264
:You guys have the coolest
gizmo camera tools for sure.
265
:And then
Vistara set us up with a whole media room.
266
:We had a five camera podcast studio going,
yeah,
267
:so let's spend a little bit of time
talking about what it was like
268
:working at Vistara, and I'll let you go.
269
:First, talk to me about what it was like
shooting video at a conference like this.
270
:You know, we we normally shoot video
at other types of conferences.
271
:Not I'm usually speaking
or or attending tech conferences.
272
:I think that's probably
the first tech conference we've videoed.
273
:We normally do other types of conferences
for our clients. Yeah.
274
:So it was different.
275
:It was it kind of felt weird in a way,
because I was just like, wow.
276
:I'm usually like like I said, speaking or
have a sponsor booth myself or whatever.
277
:And so it was just different.
278
:It was like a mixing of my two worlds,
which was kind of strange for my brain,
279
:I think.
280
:But what I will say about it from a vendor
standpoint, they were so well organized.
281
:It was crazy.
282
:Like, again, like I do a lot of different
types of conferences, right?
283
:They were well organized. Julia.
284
:Oh my gosh, she's amazing. Amazing.
285
:Yeah, it was very well structured.
286
:It was they they stayed on time.
287
:I mean there were a little bit of delays
288
:on some things, but they adjusted
and got themselves always back on time.
289
:So it was really great.
290
:And I and again we were wondering
all around, right, doing video work.
291
:So we were hearing overhearing
lots of conversations
292
:and they had really good feedback
from the attendees.
293
:So I thought that that was excellent.
294
:What about you as a sponsor?
295
:Did can still feel like this was
a really good place to be as a sponsor.
296
:Yeah.
297
:You know, so agencies are a ICP for us.
298
:We're going to get a little jargon,
their ideal customer profile,
299
:meaning
that we like to sell to agencies for sure.
300
:And so a conference full of agencies
is is a great place for us to be.
301
:I also really appreciated
how organized this event was.
302
:Julia, hats off to you.
303
:Wrangling cats for multiple days
is is is a lot of work.
304
:And then I thought it was really cool.
305
:They put the sponsor area
in kind of a four year.
306
:That was very dramatic, right?
307
:I felt like I kept saying
I felt like I was on a set of like Star
308
:Trek, like a cantina or something.
309
:And I mean, it was really cool in there.
310
:And then my event manager, Sarah was,
did an amazing job.
311
:She came up with a whole new booth
design for us that was very interactive,
312
:and we had people be able
to put stickers on it based on where
313
:they were feeling on, you know,
how much hosting they were doing, how much
314
:scaling their company they were doing,
and it just created conversations.
315
:And so that was a lot of fun.
316
:So, you know, huge success.
317
:We had great conversations.
318
:And the kayaking on Monday before
the whole event started was a ton of fun.
319
:And we had sunscreen as our swag.
320
:I've actually got one right here.
321
:And so I was able to hand out
sunscreen to everybody on the kayaks
322
:and have hats for them.
323
:And so it was just a lot of fun.
324
:I really enjoyed this event.
325
:And and yeah,
I look forward to doing some more.
326
:And I thought that having the podcast room
327
:was very interesting
because we were both working. Yes.
328
:And yet we still carved out time to do
329
:things like
330
:seven, seven, at least five, 5 to 7.
331
:I can't even remember.
332
:I've lost track.
333
:And with that being said,
334
:so one of the people that we had
on our podcast that will be coming up
335
:was from Dot and Co,
which is also another E to M company.
336
:And, and so and she also has a podcast.
337
:So it was great.
So like we had a podcaster on our podcast.
338
:So that was really interesting.
339
:She was very good. Enjoyed that a lot.
340
:We who
we haven't who we didn't get on there
341
:and I wanted to mention also with the
speakers was Khushboo who works with E2.
342
:Right.
343
:So again someone from E2 m
that was speaking but very good.
344
:And also Vishal,
that was from A to M both of their
345
:talks were again full of action items.
346
:I felt like real data
really showing things and so I like that
347
:and we will have Khushboo
come on our on on the agency
348
:Intel at some point
because that woman knows her stuff.
349
:I mean she really does.
350
:And when I say she knows her stuff, she's,
she's in that next level of AI
351
:where they're dealing
352
:with creating their own smaller models,
but then also experimenting
353
:with all of the sentiment pieces of AI,
which is really fascinating,
354
:you know, I mean, like with tribe V2
that came out just recently from meta
355
:and things like that, that sentiment
AI is going to get really big.
356
:And for people who are listening
are going like, what the heck
357
:are you even talking about?
This is where it is.
358
:AI models that can go
and look at transcripts of your customers,
359
:let's say,
or help tickets and read the language
360
:that they're using to get
what is their sentiment?
361
:Is this about to churn or what, you know,
are they very happy with us?
362
:And then, you know, like E to
M has developed this whole dashboard
363
:where you can,
like Brant, can get up in the morning
364
:and look at his dashboard and go like,
oh, we've got three customers.
365
:I probably should give
some personal attention to, you know?
366
:And that's great.
367
:I mean, they're using AI in
what we're going to all be doing, probably
368
:in, you know, in the next few years, but
they've really got a head start on that.
369
:So I think that's pretty amazing.
370
:And then we also had Brittany,
we had some of the speakers,
371
:some of the other speakers,
Brittany Mueller, we had her on the show.
372
:Great.
373
:And David C Baker
who we didn't mention yet of the speakers,
374
:and he was our the closing.
375
:What I really I just loved his though
because he was like get on the bus.
376
:And he said for years he has always said,
you know, there's all these trends.
377
:And he'd be like, don't get on that bus
because, you know, just don't get on.
378
:It's a trend, don't get on it.
379
:And he said,
380
:this is the first time
I am going to tell you,
381
:get on the bus because I have no idea
where it it's going.
382
:But I just know you need to be on it.
383
:And I was like, wow,
that was that was pretty cool.
384
:So that was a good sentiment
to end the whole conference with, to like,
385
:look, we don't know where it's going,
but we know you need to be on it for sure.
386
:And, you know,
I thought it was interesting.
387
:There was in the Q&A section of his talk,
there were some people asking about,
388
:you know, some of the concerns about AI,
like it's, you know, the copyright
389
:violations are ridiculous.
390
:And so how are creative
people supposed to adjust to this?
391
:And, you know,
I thought David was measured
392
:in his response of like, hey,
you know, that that is an issue.
393
:It's something that we need to pay
attention to.
394
:And but in the meantime, that doesn't mean
395
:we should be disregarding
this entire technology.
396
:And we are seeing a backlash right
now, especially in the US.
397
:Right.
People are getting kind of anti-air.
398
:There's all these boos
happening at college graduations.
399
:And, you know, I get it.
400
:I understand it's scary.
401
:Things are changing.
402
:There's a lot of hype coming from these
403
:AI company leaders,
which I've noticed lately.
404
:They've been dialing it back a little bit
because they're trying to IPO,
405
:so they're trying to raise
trillions of dollars.
406
:And so but I think, you know, a
great point somebody made was, look,
407
:you don't have to like this technology,
but you're going to need to learn
408
:how to work with it because it's here.
409
:It's not going anywhere.
410
:people just don't know how to get started.
411
:It's sort of like writing a book.
412
:It's like you don't plan it all out.
413
:First
414
:you just sit down and you start,
415
:and then you figure out
what's going to happen next.
416
:And I like, we've had these
417
:we've had these really weird movements
in the past where red flags went up
418
:like crazy in my head around
digital transformation, for instance.
419
:It's like everybody
got on the digital transformation bus,
420
:everybody got on the branding bus,
and everybody got on the storytelling bus.
421
:And I kept saying to people,
it's like you're getting on the bus
422
:and you don't even know where it's going,
right?
423
:Stop it now.
424
:This is the AI bus.
425
:I think this is different.
426
:I think you need to get on the AI bus
even though we don't know where
427
:it's going.
428
:Roger, for as a sponsor,
do you feel it was a benefit?
429
:Would you guys was sponsored again?
430
:Absolutely. 100%.
431
:I would sponsor again,
not only because my bosses were happy
432
:about how the sponsorship worked out,
433
:but also it was
it was just a really good time.
434
:I mean, I like working in this space
for a reason.
435
:The people are fascinating.
436
:I love talking about websites.
437
:I go crazy in my local town
438
:because I can't talk about this stuff
to anybody.
439
:And Vistara was one of those things.
440
:It was just like everybody
there was my best friend, right?
441
:Like, oh my gosh, talk to me
about how you're using technology.
442
:What are the cool new things
that you figured out?
443
:And everybody would always have something
interesting and new for me to hear.
444
:So yeah, I thought Vistara was great.
445
:How about you?
446
:Fantastic.
447
:I mean, we were a media partner
448
:and that was great to to work with them
because they were just so well organized.
449
:But also as an agency owner,
it was a really nice to be in a space
450
:with other agency owners.
451
:And they had quite, quite a diverse
group of agency owners, probably the most
452
:female agency owners I've ever seen at one
event, like so high percentage.
453
:And so that was really nice
454
:because it gives you
so many more perspectives, I feel like.
455
:And the conversations were very open
and transparent to I didn't feel like
456
:people were trying to like,
oh, you're going to steal my clients.
457
:No one seemed to be thinking that at all.
458
:Everyone was just like, we're all in this
crazy time, and what are you doing?
459
:And what should I be doing?
460
:I mean, it was very open.
461
:And people,
462
:some people were very opinionated,
obviously,
463
:because they've
already been doing some things.
464
:But it was good.
465
:It was good to hear what they had done.
466
:And, and some people who had tried things
and it didn't work out.
467
:That's nice because it's like,
468
:okay, maybe that is not something I was
thinking was thinking about doing it.
469
:Maybe that's not something
I should be thinking about right now.
470
:So I thought it was really well done.
471
:Not to mention the t
shirts asked me about AI on the front.
472
:Gray t shirts?
473
:Absolutely. No, it was a great one.
474
:Yes, indeed.
475
:And Vistara said they're going to start
doing more of these conferences,
476
:so people should go and to their website.
477
:Is it?
478
:Do you remember is it just Vistara or
479
:join join join the Starcom.
480
:That's it. Join Vistara. Thank you.
481
:So yes.
482
:So people should go
and watch out for the next one.
483
:Because if you're an agency owner
there's some really good information
484
:you'll get there.
485
:love it like we are with our people here.
486
:These are all the agency owners.
487
:Everyone gets each other.
488
:You know, you're chatting, grabbing coffee
or just around a table,
489
:and it's just like,
these are our people, All right.
490
:Till the next conference.
491
:Adios.
