Speaking
A clear, honest read — made for the room.
I give audiences a clear, honest read on the economy — and what it means for the decisions in front of them. No jargon, no canned talking points, no one-size-fits-all macro deck. Every talk is built for the room: what your audience is worried about, and what they're trying to decide.
Who I speak to.
- Leadership and strategy teams — offsites, planning sessions, sales kickoffs
- Client and investor events — appreciation events, investor days, member meetings
- Conferences and associations — the economic-outlook keynote that anchors the agenda
- Boards and IR teams — private briefings on the outlook and the risks that matter to you
Starting points, not a fixed menu.
Each is tailored to your audience and the moment.
- The Outlook, Measured — the labor market, housing, interest rates, and the consumer. Where the economy is actually heading, and how to tell signal from noise.
- Where Housing Is Actually Heading — prices, rates, inventory, and affordability: what the data says, and what it means for property managers, builders, lenders, and investors.
- The Low-Hire, Low-Fire Economy — what the labor market is really doing beneath the monthly jobs headline, and where it goes next.
- Reading the Fed — what the data say about the next move, the Fed reaction function, and why the headlines so often get it wrong.
- Is AI Helping or Hurting Your Business? — how AI is affecting the economy and what it could do to your bottom line.
- The Consumer — what household finances truly look like, and what that means for your business.
Built to fit the agenda.
- Keynote (20–45 min) — the outlook, made vivid and specific to your audience
- Fireside / moderated conversation — an interview or on-stage Q&A
- Executive or board briefing — a private, closed-door read
- Quarterly outlook series — a recurring economic update for your team, clients, or members
I make rigorous economics hold a room.
I've briefed the White House Council of Economic Advisers, testified before state legislatures, and owned the macro outlook for the largest U.S. real-estate marketplace. I'm a regular voice in national media and co-host the Everyday Economics podcast — which means I do the hard part for a living: making rigorous economics clear enough to hold a room.
Tell me your audience and the date.
Tell me your audience, the date, and what they're trying to figure out, and I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit.
