VoiceQuest LIVE Keynote (People's Choice Award Winner)
I took the stage at VoiceQuest LIVE in Denver, billed as American Idol meets TEDx for speakers. No script, no warning, just a topic, a microphone, and a live audience vote. I won the 2025 People's Choice Award. My segment runs from 0:33 to 6:47.
A long-form conversation with host Kylee Shields about being a husband, a dad, and the path that turned a former Tabernacle Choir performer into a corporate keynote speaker. We get into the cost of disconnection at home and at work, and what changed when I stopped performing and started showing up.
MTMG's ConnectToWork: Balancing AI and Human Connection in Customer Success
A working conversation about what AI can and cannot do for customer relationships. We cover the lesson I learned the hard way as a first-time manager, why empathy is still the most underrated leadership skill, and the book that reshaped how I think about authenticity at work.
Host Julie DeJesus and I talk about what loneliness actually does to a leader, a man, a team. I share the journey from feeling unseen in my own life to building the kind of friendships that change everything, and we get into why men in particular are starving for real connection right now.
