Speaking & press

Ideas worth taking back to the agency.

I speak and write about agency leadership, operations, AI adoption and the less tidy reality of scaling a business. Whatever the format, the point is what people can do with it afterwards.

Tell me about the opportunity

Clear thinking.
Said out loud.

What I speak about

A good talk should leave you with something to do on Monday.

Agency growth without founder dependency

What has to change in the leadership team, decisions and day-to-day running of the agency as it grows.

The decisions we delayed that cost us the most

What decision debt looks like inside a scaling agency and why waiting often feels safer than it is.

You can’t AI your way through scaling

Using AI well without confusing a new tool with a functioning operating model.

Leading by outcomes, not outputs

Giving senior teams room to own the how while keeping the standard and pace clear.

The four-day workweek

What it takes to run a tighter, more efficient agency when the working week gets shorter.

Selected talks & collabs

Rooms, recordings and the occasional judging table.
