      <!-- Story -->
      <div class="mb-2" style="max-width: 46rem;">
        <p class="mb-3">I have given a lot of talks, in a lot of rooms, on the technology, business, and politics of APIs. A good talk does something a document cannot: it puts an idea in front of a whole room at the same time and gives everyone a shared reference to argue about afterward.</p>
        <p class="mb-3">I provide in-person and virtual talks on the topics that live at the intersection of people and interfaces &mdash; for your team, your conference, your community, or your customers. I tailor each one to the room, keep it honest, and aim to leave people with something they can actually use on Monday morning.</p>
        <p class="mb-3">Whether it is an internal all-hands or a conference keynote, the goal is the same: move an idea from one head into many, clearly enough that it sticks.</p>

          <li>Talks tailored to your specific audience and topic</li>
          <li>A clear, honest take people actually remember</li>
          <li>An idea moved into a whole room at once</li>
