~ what I talk about

Four keynotes. Zero fluff.

01

The Operator's AI Advantage

Why the people who've run real businesses for 15 years already have the hardest AI skill — and don't know it yet. Management experience IS the AI superpower.

~ the takeaway Audience walks out with a framework they can apply Monday.

02

Where to Bet (And Where Not To)

Most AI tools being sold today will get squeezed out within 18 months. A concrete filter for evaluating what's leverage and what's a tourist trap.

~ the takeaway A scorecard for vetting any AI tool your team pitches you.

03

AI Won't Replace You — It Reshapes Your Team

What hiring looks like when 50 specializations collapse into one skill. What it means for a 15-person service company. Why winners hire more, not fewer.

~ the takeaway A model for re-shaping roles without gutting headcount.

04

From ChatGPT to AI-First Operations

The practical ladder from 'I use it for emails sometimes' to systems that multiply your team's output. Drawn from real implementations.

~ the takeaway The four-rung ladder and where most leaders get stuck.

~ why reu

He's not an AI researcher. He runs an AI company.

Reu isn't the guy on Twitter debating scaling laws. He's the guy a business owner calls when their phones need to be answered and their estimators need to go faster. That's the point. The audience gets what they came for: practical, not theoretical.

A practitioner for real business leaders — not a consultant who hasn't worked a real job in years.

~ start the conversation

Tell me about the room.

20 minutes on Google Meet. You tell me who the audience is, what they're wrestling with, and what format you're imagining. I tell you straight whether I'm the right fit — and if not, who is.

Bring: the audience (industry, size, AI sophistication), the format (keynote / workshop / panel / podcast), your date window, and whether this is paid, trade, or honorarium.
