Significance in the Age of AI.
Keynotes from a Chick-fil-A Operator who runs his restaurant on ten AI systems and spends the hours they buy back on people. Real systems. Real results. No hype.
Your team is drowning in busywork. AI can fix that. Most leaders don't know where to start.
Every week your managers spend 40% of their time on reporting, scheduling, document drafting, and inbox triage. That is time stolen from coaching, building, and selling. The leaders who win the next decade will be the ones who use AI to take the busywork off their team's plate so people can focus on the work that builds real value.
Pick the talk that fits your audience.
Three signature talks. Each one customized to your audience, your industry, and your event theme. No recycled decks.
Significance in the Age of AI
AI is handing leaders back their hours. This talk is about what they are for.
AI for the Non-Technical Leader
A practical playbook for operators who want results, not theory.
How AI Forces the Manager-Leader Choice
AI is eating the busywork managers used to claim was their value. It exposes who was leading and who was gatekeeping.

Occasional notes on AI, leadership, and significance from inside a real Chick-fil-A. No hype.
This is not someone who read a book about leadership.
I taught systems engineering at West Point. I ran a Chick-fil-A as an operator. I supported SOCOM teams in a project management capacity, where the standard for execution is non-negotiable. I have an MBA, a PMP, and I am finishing a DBA in business and leadership.
But credentials are table stakes. What you actually want is a speaker who has implemented AI in a real business with real P&L pressure, with real employees who pushed back, and real results you can verify.
Faith, family, and significance are what I actually care about. AI is the tool I happen to use to serve them. My mission is to glorify God with my life and have a positive impact on as many people as possible. Everything else is a vehicle.
