I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A MINUTE

1ST CROWD OF 1000'S AT 17

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.

AI LAW & POLICY + DISINFO + FREE SPEECH + PRIVACY + IMPOSSIBLE POLITICAL COALITIONS + COLLEGE FIXES

TALKING TO THE "OTHER SIDE" + FIXING COLLEGE = STOP CIVIL WAR

thank you to my partners clients and allies

I SPEAK "BOTH SIDES" FLUENTLY

+ 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.

Press: CBS, NBC, FORBES, ETC.

FORMAT + AUDIENCES

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 WORK ON A SLIDING SCALE.

I WORK ON A SLIDING SCALE.

I ask that clients with means pay fair market value to offset the folks who can't pay much or anything.

I KEEP THIS VERY SIMPLE.

BOOKING

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.

MY STORY IS BLACK MIRROR + FORREST GUMP BANANAS

20 years of leading teams of top experts: Plus hundreds of students, lawyers, citizens, & artists...

  

..on a "Manhattan Project" to align AI, disinfo, privacy, & free speech (and stop civil war) in time.

..

THE IDH IS BUILD #3.  


WE GOT TO THE 10-YARD LINE.

Then our city blew up. Twice

BOOK PITCH/STORIES HERE: We tell IT funny b/C the "straight" version made reporters and cops cry.

1st and early for 2 decades

ai and algorithms

POLICY / LAW / GOVERNANCE / ED / CULTURE


This is a crisis of code, culture, and Constitutional law.

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. 

AI AND ALGORITHMS

DISINFORMATION & POLITICAL DIVISION

"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.


DISINFORMATION AND POLITICAL DIVISION

FREE SPEECH + THE COLLEGE DEI MESS + ENCODED CENSOrship

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)

FIRST AMENDMENT DETAILS

college leadershiP, REFORM, & POST-AI ED

SCALABLE SOLUTIONS: K-CEO + CAMPUSES ON "BOTH SIDES" OF REALITY + COMPANIES 


  

Connecting students and classrooms across the digital divide since 2007.

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.

education solutions

STRATEGIC PR AND COALITON BUILDING

BIPARTISAN COALTION BUILDING and CIVIL CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

  

"Impossible" coalitions, agreements, and conversations

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.

strategic pr and coalitions

ART, RESILIENCE, & getTing real about PTSD

ARTS ADVOCACY

 BECAUSE ART IS THE ANSWER WHEN WORDS STOP WORKING

  

MENTAL HEALTH

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.
