The Next Big Bite | Aussie Classics & Starting Small with Clay Wesener | EP04

What happens when the people closest to a problem are empowered to build the solution? 

In this episode of The Next Big Bite, Clay Wesener, GM of App Studio, joins us over a spread of Australian favorites to share how innovation has evolved from spreadsheet workarounds and ERP customizations to low-code apps and AI agents.

Clay reflects on two decades of helping organizations solve business problems with technology, and why some of the most impactful ideas come from the people doing the work every day. As tools become more accessible, the opportunity to build is no longer limited to professional developers. 
 

The conversation explores how Power Platform sparked a wave of grassroots innovation across organizations, turning individual solutions into movements of makers who inspire each other to build more. Community plays a critical role in that journey, creating a feedback loop that helps shape products and uncover new possibilities.   

As AI continues to reshape how solutions are built, Clay's advice is simple. Stay curious, experiment often, and get hands-on with new tools. The next breakthrough often starts with trying something new.
