I speak the way I write here: first principles, no fluff, and the parts of the business most people won't say out loud. Twenty-five years representing tenants, occupiers, and owners — and leading a brokerage — gives me a view from both sides of the deal. Audiences get the honest version, not the conference-stage version.

What I speak about

Five signature themes, each adaptable to a keynote, workshop, or panel:

• Real estate as a tool, not a cost. Why the companies that outperform treat their space as a lever on revenue, talent, and margin — and how to actually use it that way. For executive and operator audiences.
• The Denver market from the tenant's side of the table. A straight read on office, hybrid footprints, vacancy, and concessions — what it means for the people signing the leases, not the people collecting the rent.
• The office-footprint decision. Sizing to your peak day, not your headcount; downsize-sublease-or-hold; and how to capture savings in the deal structure. For corporate leadership and finance teams.
• Building a brokerage worth working at. Recruiting, development, and the difference between income and wealth in a commission business. For industry, brokerage, and recruiting audiences.
• First principles for a CRE career. What separates top brokers (it isn't market data), and how the first years are actually won. For new-to-business and early-career audiences.

I'll tailor any of these to your audience and time slot — or build something specific to your event.
