Keynotes · Podcast guest appearances · Executive briefings · Leadership workshopsConference Keynotes
High-energy talks for business audiences trying to understand AI without vendor fog, theory theater, or corporate buzzword soup.
Podcast Guest
Sharp, useful, story-driven guest appearances on AI, entrepreneurship, reinvention, sobriety, operator readiness, and building with AI.
Executive Briefings
Private sessions for leadership teams that need a plain-English read on what AI can do, what it should not touch, and where to start.
Workshops
Operator-focused working sessions around AI readiness, staff hackathons, chief-of-staff systems, and practical adoption.
Six talks.
One mission.
Matt does not walk into a room to perform AI optimism. He walks in with field notes, frameworks, scars, stories, and the practical language operators need before they spend money or ship systems.
01 · AI Readiness Is Not AI Hype
Why most AI projects fail before the tool ever gets a fair shot — messy data, unclear workflows, shadow AI, adoption collisions, and leadership teams that skipped the boring work.
Leadership · Operators02 · Running on AI
A practical talk built around Bertha, Matt's AI chief-of-staff operating rhythm: context, cadence, decisions, email, calendar, priorities, and the vulnerability bargain required to make AI useful.
Live Demo · Operations03 · The Vibe Code Economy
Non-traditional builders can now create software with AI. Matt explains the gap between a demo and a production system — and why AI Directed Engineering becomes the new competence layer.
Builders · Production Readiness04 · From Bottleneck to Operator
Most founders become the drag coefficient inside their own business. This talk shows how AI changes the founder role from chief everything officer to orchestrator, editor, and decision-maker.
Founders · Execution05 · 120 Pounds, Sobriety, and the Founder's Edge
The personal talk. Matt connects physical transformation, sobriety, discipline, faith, clarity, and the uncomfortable truth that the operator usually has to change before the company can.
Personal · Reinvention06 · Production Readiness for the AI Era
The talk for builders, founders, and teams who can make AI produce code but still need to understand security, data, payments, monitoring, scale, recovery, and the real work after the demo.
AI Directed EngineeringStage. Mic.
Boardroom.
The format changes. The mission does not: make AI understandable, practical, and useful for the people who have to make decisions with real customers, real payroll, and real consequences.
Podcast Guest
