2025 Keynotes
I bring a lot of energy, humor, and fresh thinking to all my speaking engagements, and customize each presentation for the unique audience of the day. Here’s what I’m talking about in 2025:
Enter the Attention Fort
In the Attention Economy, consumer attention is under siege. We’ve built up Attention Forts to defend ourselves against the onslaught of messages and to protect our precious time and attention. As marketers, how can we get inside the walls of the Attention Fort? You’ll learn five unconventional strategies that will get you invited into the Fort with open arms.
We Are All Creative
Creativity has never been more essential. In a world oversaturated with mediocre marketing and content, standing out requires more than effort—it demands creativity. But creativity isn’t a gift for the few; it’s a skill we all possess. In this inspiring keynote, you’ll unlock your creative potential with practical tools, transformative exercises, and fresh strategies to generate bold, innovative ideas that set you apart.
Do The Opposite: The Joys of Being A Curious Idiot
Conventional wisdom leads to conventional results. If you want extraordinary outcomes, you need the courage to get unconventional and embrace Doing The Opposite. In this lively and candid keynote, you’ll hear hilarious, eye-opening stories of bold missteps and unexpected successes—from creating the world’s dumbest music service to founding and selling the world’s dumbest podcast company. You’ll learn why embracing curiosity, failure, and discomfort is the secret to building a life—and career—uniquely your own.
