Speaking

A keynote for our times. After the pandemic and with the emergence of artificial intelligence, Cal urges people to return to the basics used by the greats who’ve shaped the last 75 years of world history. Everyone that Cal has talked with who’s done something extraordinary made a difference through authentic human connection.

Through exclusive interviews with icons like Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jeff Bezos, and Serena Williams, Cal provides rare insights and tools straight from some of history's greatest game-changers.

These timeless principles that extoll leadership, teamwork, and personal growth are even more valuable in a world that is more digitally connected but more personally remote.

Equipped with Cal’s storytelling mastery, you’ll walk away empowered with strategic connection techniques and inspired to forge deeper relationships in your professional and personal life.

This is more than a keynote - it’s a transformative experience that redefines the essence of connection in the age of AI, providing the tools to unite people around vision and purpose.

Moderating

Cal’s moderations get the most out of featured guests to help lift conferences and corporate events to their highest level.

Moderation is frequently underestimated in event planning. Organizers tend to focus their attention on procuring top-tier guests to be interviewed in front of their groups without giving nearly as much thought to the person directing the conversation. This can put people with little experience on stage to guide the discussion — and diminish what the much-anticipated (and often highly-paid) guest has to offer.

Cal brings to the stage the same skills he’s used to extract wisdom from hundreds of the world’s most talented, compelling and powerful people. He’s a master at making the guest feel extremely comfortable while seamlessly engaging the audience in these sessions.

He’s moderated conversations with NBA star Kobe Bryant at Summit LA; with Bob Pittman, the Chairman and CEO of iHeart Media, at Summit at Sea; with Olympic gold-medalist Simone Biles at the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center; with skateboard legend Tony Hawk at WORLDZ, among many others.

Cal is frequently invited to corporate events to draw out company leaders' visions through engaging interviews, offering a dynamic alternative to traditional prepared speeches. His lively moderation captivates audiences and adds exceptional value, making him a favorite dual-role speaker and moderator at conferences.
