Speaking
Funny on purpose.
Keynotes, panels and stand-up sets for colleges, conferences and companies. Neurodiversity and mental health awareness, told by the guy who lives it, with enough jokes that nobody checks their phone.
Talks
Pick a topic.
Every talk is built around your audience. These are the starting points organizers ask for most.
Laughing at your own brain
A comedy keynote about growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, finding out in grad school, and why a room full of people laughing at the same struggle feels so good. Students leave feeling seen. Staff leave with better language for neurodivergent classmates and colleagues.
Neurodiversity at work
A light, honest talk on what ADHD, autism and AuDHD look like at a desk, in a meeting and on a deadline. Great for Disability Awareness Month, Mental Health Awareness Month and ERG events.
Mental health meets entertainment
How he turned mental health topics into videos with more than 7 million followers and 2 billion views in a single year, without turning the comment section into a waiting room.
From ESL to DNP
His path from an ESL classroom to a doctorate, psychiatric hospitals and Hollywood. For first-generation students, nursing programs and anyone working twice as hard to look average.
Good to know: talks are entertainment and education. They are not clinical training, CE credit or treatment, and he doesn’t give individual medical advice from the stage.
