Quick answers.

Yes. Speaking is a core part of how I make a living, so engagements are paid. Fees range from $5,000 to $25,000 depending on topic, audience size, duration, location, and availability. Each engagement is quoted individually after a short fit call.

Occasionally — typically a few per year for causes I personally support (youth and education, civic tech, underrepresented founders in Richmond and Virginia). The calendar fills early, so reach out well in advance and share the mission.

Most engagements land between $5K and $25K. The figure depends on:\n\n- Topic — keynote AI strategy vs. workshop facilitation\n- Audience — internal team meeting vs. flagship conference\n- Duration — 30-min keynote vs. half-day workshop\n- Location — local vs. travel required\n- Timing — peak season and short notice carry premium\n\nQuoted per engagement after a 15-minute fit call.
