Three things I talk about, each built for the room
Leadership and momentum
Heroics don't scale. Systems do.
For any room that leads people. The most personal talk I give.
Judging AI when anyone can build it
The demo is dead.
Six questions that tell a product from a prototype.

AI scales whatever foundation you give it.
How to own your customer data before you buy another tool.
The same conversations happen off stage, with teams deciding what to build, what to buy and who to trust with it.
I opened a talk at MIT by selling the room a fake product.
LeadPulse AI: a login, a dashboard, a polished ad, $2,500 a month. Built in fourteen minutes from one prompt. Nobody could tell.
