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.
Why me
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.
