Speaking & conversation

Bring the
hard questions.

AI, authority, human agency, and the practical consequences of the ideas we build around.

My perspective comes from working across worlds that don’t always talk to each other: military service, theology, psychology, writing, and entrepreneurship.

I’m interested in conversations that make a difficult question clearer—and give people something concrete to think about afterward. These are areas I welcome discussing with event organizers, universities, founder communities, and interviewers.

01

AI & institutional responsibility

Who authorized the AI?

Why capable systems still need explicit boundaries, and why an accurate answer does not establish permission to act.

For technology teams, institutional leaders, and AI audiences.

02

Human agency & philosophy

The future isn’t promised.
Choose anyway.

Ideas from The Way There: agency under constraint, evidence above conviction, and the difference between making a decision and controlling its outcome.

For university, leadership, and broader intellectual audiences.

03

Entrepreneurship & perspective

A different road to building.

What military service, the study of belief and behavior, and writing fiction bring to the work of founding a company.

For founder communities, veteran groups, and interview formats.

For organizers

A ready
introduction.
