SPEAK
I've been speaking to audiences for 30-plus years. From beer conventions to marketing events for Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal. From the Emily Dickinson Museum to the National Business Incubators Association to --- career high! —- the Smithsonian Institute (not once, but twice!).
I'm yours for the asking. And money. (Skill and expertise, of which I have plenty, don't come cheap.)
PROSE
Four books. A variety of opinion pieces, including for the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. For a detailed list and links, see the Other Projects page.
Ask away, people, ask away. Money not always involved.
CAMERA
Yes, I've been in front of a camera.
See, for example, The History Channel’s Food That Built America (S3E2 and S4E16), and Booze, Bets, and Sex that Built America (I don’t come up with the titles).
In 2021, I appeared in this WWTV Chicago Public Televison documentary about meatpacking.
In 2022, I did a short documentary for CNBC’s YouTube channel.
For quick examples of live, unscripted TV, see here and here. (These are old: from 2008 and the sale of Anheuser-Busch to InBev, during which Fox Business News asked me to serve as an "expert.") (Which I was.)
Here’s a brief list of mostly older stuff.
