Moderator · The Live Interview

Hand me the stage and I will hand your audience a real conversation.

The moderated interview is my instrument. Four thousand times I have sat across from someone and found the moment they stopped reporting and started telling the truth. On your stage, that moment belongs to your audience.

The moderating reel: the range of stages, guests, and moments a conversation can open, cut to under two minutes.

Moderating Opal Lee, the grandmother of Juneteenth

A closing keynote with a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. The instrument, aimed at a real stage, in front of a real audience.

Why it works

A keynote is performed. A conversation is witnessed.

An audience can feel the difference between a leader reciting and a leader thinking out loud. My job on stage is to create the second one on purpose: to ask the question the room is quietly wondering, and to make it safe enough to answer honestly.

I have done it with a Formula 1 champion, a Meta executive, and a founder who built a company you have used. The name changes. The instrument does not. What your audience remembers is not the bullet points. It is the moment something true happened in front of them.

Five ways to put me in the chair

The Live CEO Interview

Your leader in a genuine on-stage exchange instead of a scripted keynote. The audience meets the person behind the position.

The Post-Keynote Deep Dive

A big idea just landed. I follow it with a conversation that makes it stick instead of fade.

The Sponsor Spotlight

Real value for a sponsor: a substantive interview the audience actually wants, not a logo on a slide.

The Partner & Client Feature

Put your best customer in the chair and let their story sell what a pitch never could.

Every conversation becomes content. Clips, a podcast episode, and pull-quotes your team can carry for months after the room empties.

Give me the person behind the title, and I will give your audience the ten minutes they actually remember.

The Live Interview

Have a stage and a leader in mind?

Tell me who is in the chair and who is in the seats. I will tell you honestly whether this is the right format for your moment.
