Three topics I'd happily turn up for.

This page exists before the talks do. (That's intentional — I'd rather book the first one than fake having booked the tenth.) If you're putting together a stage and either of these fits the room, write me.

01 — Building real systems as a working parent with no time

The "how do you do it all" question, except not. Mostly: I don't. I've gotten unreasonably good at deciding what to drop. The systems I run are the only reason anything ships at all — and they were built specifically for the constraint that I have about eleven minutes of focused thinking time per day before someone needs a snack.

There's a version of this talk for founders, a version for product teams, and a version for anyone who's tired of productivity advice written by people without dependents.

02 — Actually using AI, not just talking about it

I built three businesses' worth of internal tooling on top of AI in the last year. (Not in a "we used ChatGPT once" way — in a "this thing now drafts our weekly newsletter while I'm at gymnastics on a Friday morning" way.) The talk is about what's worked, what hasn't, and what changes when AI stops being a productivity tip and starts being staff.

Aimed at non-technical operators, founders, and anyone who's been promised a robot intern and would like to know how to actually hire one.

03 — Where marketing actually changes when AI shows up

Most "AI for marketing" content is either hype (here are 47 prompts!) or fear (replace your team with this!). Neither is the actually interesting story.

The interesting story is that most marketing teams are doing roughly the same set of things they were doing five years ago, with the same handful of bottlenecks — the in-house generalist who's a bus factor of one, the agency report that takes three days to land, the brief that's never quite finished. AI fixes the bottlenecks if you put it in the right places. It also creates new ones if you don't.

A talk about which is which. Aimed at CMOs, heads of growth, and senior in-house marketers who want a serious answer rather than a deck of vibes.
