what we talk about
SPEAKING TOPICS
All topics can be tailored to your audience and event format.
Think Like a Customer, Not a Marketer
Most businesses market the way they want to — not the way their customers need them to. This talk flips the script on marketing, showing audiences how to strip away the jargon and connect with the people who actually buy from them.
Humanising Your Brand in an AI World
When everyone has access to the same tools, your humanity becomes your competitive advantage. This talk explores how businesses can stay authentic, build genuine connections, and stand out by being more human, not less.
The Founder's Third
You spend a third of your life at work. If you started a business, it shouldn't become something you hate. This talk tackles founder loneliness, accountability, and how to build a business you actually want to run — while protecting the other two thirds of your life.
Marketing Isn't Rocket Science (If You Nail the Basics)
A no-nonsense, energetic run-through of what actually works in marketing for small businesses. No algorithms, no hacks — just clarity on who your customer is, what makes you special, and how to tell people about it.
