Veza Talks is a show about what's actually working in business, and the people figuring it out in real time.
Brought to you by Veza Agency Network (https://www.vezanetwork.com), a digital agency collective that designs, builds, and markets for its clients, with a deep network of operators and partners in the mix, each episode is a practical conversation with people who are great at their craft. No hype, no theory. Just real people doing real work, sharing what moves the needle and what doesn't.
Right now that means a lot of conversations about using AI well, and the human judgment that makes it pay off, because that's what the moment demands. But the throughline never changes: get someone great talking, ask a few good questions, and pull out the things only they can tell you.

The Reset: A New Veza Talks for the AI Era
Veza Talks returns for Season 2 with a new host, a new format, and a sharper thesis. Collin Belt, CMO of Veza Agency Network, reintroduces the show: why the AI shift that took off in late 2025 is rebuilding how people build, market, and run their businesses, and why most teams are doing it without a playbook.
This is not an AI hype show. No top-ten-tools lists, no doom, no utopia. It's practical conversations with operators who are great at their craft, focused on what's actually working and the human judgment that makes AI pay off. Collin covers what changed, who VAN is, how he landed in the host seat after Belt Creative was acquired, and a preview of the guests coming this season.
