Available for keynotes, panels, podcasts, and workshops. Chris brings the same diagnostic listening to a stage that he brings to a breakfast table — substance over performance, recognition over motivation.
The four capacities that determine whether AI amplifies your best thinking or replaces it. Not a technology talk — a human development talk for the AI age. Draws from philosophy, neuroscience, and twenty years of navigating without maps.
Every powerful AI practice — from multi-agent research to iterative optimization — traces to established creativity and design thinking methodology from the last sixty years. The AI community is rediscovering what humans already knew. This talk names the connection.
The story of building Colorado's top-rated inn, selling two businesses, and designing a life at 10,000 feet. Not a success story — a navigation story. The distinction matters because it's the same one every audience member is facing.
What human capacities must we deliberately cultivate in young people, precisely because AI can now handle everything else? A practical framework for educators and parents navigating the most significant shift in what education means since the printing press.
