If you are booking the public-facing version of an AI conversation, this is the lane.
Keynotes and workshops are the obvious shape of my speaking work. But a lot of the most useful work happens in formats where the job is conversational: podcast guesting, broadcast commentary, produced video, panels, live interviews, hosting, moderating, and emceeing.
This is the media and appearances side of my AI work: making machine intelligence understandable, practical, creative, and culturally literate for real people without pretending the weird parts are not weird.
For producers and bookers, the fast path is the Podcast Guesting EPK. For stages, workshops, and custom sessions, start with AI Keynote Speaking.
Broadcast Explainers
The clearest mainstream proof point is CBC Radio Early Edition’s AI Sandbox with Kris Krug.
The premise is simple: take the fast-moving AI conversation and make it safe enough for public testing. Not safe as in sanitized. Safe as in honest, curious, critical, and useful for listeners who are trying to understand what this technology means for their jobs, families, communities, and creative lives.
Related IndigiGenius / CBC coverage with Michael Running Wolf belongs in this proof stack because it connects AI commentary to data sovereignty, ethical innovation, and community-centered technology. That thread matters a lot. Responsible AI is not just a software question. It is a culture, governance, rights, and community question.
Produced Video Interviews
The Horizons AI Models series is the polished produced-video version of this work.
Across short clips, the series covers AI as a human experience, AI in daily workflows, and next-generation innovation. It is useful producer proof because it shows I can bring the same ideas into a compact, high-production format without turning generic.
The E-ChannelNews interview from ChannelNext Central 2025 adds another lane: AI for business audiences, managed service providers, practical adoption, and organizational readiness. That is a different room than an art school, a festival, or a public radio audience. The through-line is still the same: make AI usable without pretending the risks are fake.
Long-Form Podcast Conversations
The deeper podcast appearances show a wider range:
- Human Biography with Sharad Khare: curiosity, AI, creativity, art, photography, and ethics.
- Rachel Thexton Connects: AI, digital life, photography, technology, and heart.
- The Kurty D Show: photography, beauty, internet culture, AI, creative process, and putting work online.
- Teen2Life Experience: entrepreneurship, Future Proof Creatives, photography, and creative life.
Those conversations matter because a good podcast guest does more than deliver talking points. They bring stories, tensions, examples, and enough presence to make a long conversation feel alive.
Hosting, Community, and Live Video
Vancouver AI Pods, MOTLEYKRUG, and the Vancouver AI community archive show the hosting side of the work.
These are not just content feeds. They are archives of a community learning in public: meetups, experiments, interviews, creative technology, AI ethics, Indigenous tech futurism, and the weird cultural edge where the future first becomes visible.
One useful example is the Vancouver AI Meetup talk, We Trained AI on Stolen Work… And I’m More Creative Than Ever. It is part keynote, part community provocation, part creator-rights argument, and part permission slip for artists to keep making ambitious work in the AI era.
Formats I Can Bring
I can show up as a:
- keynote speaker
- workshop leader
- podcast guest
- broadcast explainer
- produced-video interview subject
- panelist
- moderator
- host
- event emcee
The strongest topics are AI for creatives, responsible AI, human-centered tools, Vancouver and BC’s AI ecosystem, creator rights, creative technology, community building, media futures, and the emotional reality of living through a technological shift this big.
