20 YEARS OF THE STORIES & SOLUTIONS YOUR AUDIENCE NEEDS TO HEAR.
To win the 21st century and talk to
(& work with) the "other side" again.
My students think I should have been a game show host. They aren't wrong.
TALKING TO THE "OTHER SIDE" + FIXING COLLEGE = STOP CIVIL WAR

















+ 20 years as a Socratic prof:
Using whatever is on the news that day (on the fly) to explain this tech + civil war + college mess.

I prefer crowd-work, Q & A, or running it like a "class."
(To give you instant action-steps, crowd-sourced footage.)
But monologues are also cool.
(Ex-speechwriter/debate nerd.)

I ask that clients with means pay fair market value to offset the folks who can't pay much or anything.
Any topic in the orbit of what's on this page is fair game: You can pick or I can pick.
Email me the "who," the "when," and what you want to accomplish and we'll take it from there.

THE IDH IS BUILD #3.
WE GOT TO THE 10-YARD LINE.
Then our city blew up. Twice
POLICY / LAW / GOVERNANCE / ED / CULTURE
Everyone backed the wrong experts.
I taught college kids how to get to the 30-yard line on state-level AI alignment in 2022 as homework.
"IMPOSSIBLE" BIPARTISAN COALITIONS
(AND CIVIL CROSS-CULTURAL CONVERSATIONS)
Two decades of working with ALL students, advocates, lawmakers, and experts to get people programmed to hate each other
to work together.
20 years of award-winning FIRST AMENDMENT research, teaching, and advocacy.
On the front lines of the college free speech crisis, arts, and encoded censorship.
AND PROBABLY THE ONLY EXPERT
to teach the First Amendment on "both sides" of reality (and train Jesus and woke students to scale free speech defense non-profits)
SCALABLE SOLUTIONS: K-CEO + CAMPUSES ON "BOTH SIDES" OF REALITY + COMPANIES
Award-winning higher ed leadership: Whether directing a school, empowering students to build internationally-recognized think tanks, or speechwriting for Time's college Pres of the Year.
This is probably where I say we scaled an AI/disinfo "Manhattan Project" as homework.
BIPARTISAN COALTION BUILDING and CIVIL CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Action-oriented events and platforms
(on all the 3rd rail issues)
to forge new political alliances.
And remind people programmed to hate each other that, duh, they actualy don't. Everyone is algo gaslit.
BECAUSE ART IS THE ANSWER WHEN WORDS STOP WORKING
I'm a little picky about this one. But if you have a hard-to reach crowd that needs to hear it, I'm in.
