Events

Appearances seem a logical next step after decades of living and years of writing. As in sports, it is best to begin as an amateur before signing with a speakers’ bureau and turning pro.

“Be interested, be interesting” is an ongoing objective. The Pundificator would be happy to:

  1. Be a guest on your podcast
  2. Be a guest on your video
  3. Appear on your show
  4. Join your event
  5. Give a talk
  6. Facilitate a conversation or discussion
  7. Lead a conversation at your book club when you don’t have time for the book
  8. Facilitate a “Thinks & Nibbles” – an evening discussion devoted to a single topic

Here are some thoughts but please get in touch on the SAY HI page to share your idea.

  • Emotions Are Expensive: Try Not to Wreck your Financial Life
  • Children and Money: Nobody Likes Spoiled Brats
  • The College Trail and the Tyranny of SUV Stickers
  • It’s Only a Game: the Plunder and Pillage of Amateur Sports
  • Coping with Political B.S.
  • Passport Stamps: Doing Things vs. Having Things
  • Imagining Retirement: For Better or for Worse but not for Lunch
  • Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Bloggers
  • Why The Tragedy of the Commons Explains Most Everything

Below are some examples of prior appearances.
