Speaking

Give me a stage and a strong opinion.

Keynotes, firesides, and panels on remote work, asynchronous management, and AI twins — backed by twenty years of running distributed companies and the benchmark data to prove it. Five-minute lightning talk to ninety-minute workshop; time zones always respected.

What I talk about

The RTO narrative is wrong

Return-to-office mandates are at all-time highs while actual attendance sits at two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels. What the data says about where work actually happens — and why the press releases disagree.

Asynchronous management at scale

The playbook from the WSJ-bestselling Running Remote: deliberate overcommunication, democratized workflows, and detailed metrics — how we bootstrapped Time Doctor to $20M+ ARR without an office.

Your twin will take this meeting

AI agents are about to absorb the 60% of work that is just moving information between people — the synchronization tax. What management looks like when memory becomes software.
