I give talks from time to time and have been interviewed for a couple of podcasts.

One of my favorite ways to share my ideas is live in person, when there’s so much more communication bandwidth than in writing. I'm always open to speaking opportunities, so if you're interested in having me speak at your event, please get in touch.
