🫟 “Slug life” — Vaseline’s creator hack. Agentic shopping bubble. Official hotel cars. +LIVE from NY AdWeek

October 9, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

We’re recording LIVE from NY AdWeek at SeedTag’s headquarters… We're in our MadMen Era. But we still got 3 fantastic stories for ya:

Vaseline turned viral life hacks into new products… and treats the inventors like Youtube creators.

AI assistant shopping is dividing Amazon vs. Shopify… but why outsource something you like to do?

Hotels, complimentary cars, and speeding tickets on us… it’s not a free sample, it’s a fun sample.
