Media
Smart, subversive, and always human.
I speak, write, and show up as a guest expert on topics that others often avoid, or wrap in jargon no one really understands.
From midlife reinvention, to the power of design thinking, to the commercial (and cultural) potential of the longevity economy, I bring insight, energy, and a healthy dose of irreverence to every stage, mic, or byline.
Whether I’m presenting to a boardroom, speaking on a panel, guesting on a podcast, or writing something sharp and strategic, you can expect the same thing.
Straight talk. A spark of rebellion. Zero fluff. And always; one idea your audience will actually remember – and act on.
