Speaking

I have been on stages for 20 years. From events with 100,000 people to intimate rooms of 16 executives, I bring the same thing: honesty, energy, and a challenge to think bigger.

Signature Talks

AI Won’t Replace Founders. It Will Free Them.

The keynote that ties everything together. How AI-native operations are the key to founder freedom, what it means to build a company that runs on intelligence instead of the founder’s adrenaline, and why the next decade belongs to founders who learn to let go.

Best for: Founder conferences, YPO events, entrepreneurship programs, executive offsites.

The AI-Native Enterprise

Most companies are automating inefficiency. The ones that win will reorganize around intelligence. This talk breaks down what AI-native actually means, what the biggest enterprises in the world are getting right and wrong, and what leaders need to do now.

Best for: C-suite audiences, financial services conferences, technology leadership events.

Show Up. The Only Strategy That Has Never Failed Me.

From $300 to the podium. The personal story of building a life and a company from nothing, the power of showing up when nobody is watching, and why the next generation needs to hear this message more than ever.

Best for: Commencement speeches, leadership offsites, community events.

Building Systems at Work, Building Humans at Home.

A talk about the intersection of leadership and parenting. How the same principles that build great companies build great kids, and what it looks like to be a single dad and a CEO without losing your mind or your soul.

Best for: Parenting conferences, work-life events, community organizations.
