Talks

Four talks. All built from what I actually run.

Each one can be a keynote or a hands-on workshop, and each is rebuilt around your audience and industry.

AI
AI for the rest of us

What a real business should hand to AI first, shown live with the tools I use every day. For owners and teams who are tired of the hype and want a starting point.

Marketing
The predictable pipeline

How service businesses turn SEO and paid ads into a steady flow of leads, from ten years of running an agency that has served 2,500+ brands.

Entrepreneurship
Start before you are ready

From a single-parent home to IBM to building and selling a company in my early twenties, and what I would tell a founder who is waiting for the right time.

Content
Short-form that sells

How one video a day reached 2.97M views in a month, and the comment-to-DM system that turns viewers into leads.
