Speaking

I’ve spent over a decade explaining Shopify to merchants: as a consultant, and as host of The Unofficial Shopify Podcast (538 episodes, ~2.5 million downloads, weekly since 2014). I’ve interviewed Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke on stage at Shopify Unite, and recorded live at events like Klaviyo:BOS. Audiences get practical, specific, and occasionally funny. No hustle-culture filler.

Watch a talk

My AI talk from Smart Marketer Mentor Tables in Nashville: why most people produce AI slop, the framework that fixes it, and the ten tools I actually use.

Topics I speak on

• Conversion optimization for established Shopify stores: what actually moves the number
• Promotions that lift AOV: a decade of free-gift-with-purchase campaigns, what works and what backfires
• Podcasting as B2B lead generation: how a niche show became our agency’s best salesperson
• AI search and ecommerce: getting your brand cited when customers ask a chatbot instead of Google

Formats: keynotes, breakout sessions, panels, fireside interviews, webinars, and podcast guest spots. I bring my own professional bio & photos and broadcast-grade audio for anything remote.

Logistics

• Speaking is paid. I sometimes waive my fee for non-profit and community events.
• At minimum, travel and hotel covered.
• Podcast guest spots are free. (Booking details.)
