Appearances

I never used to like being in front of a crowd (yikes!), and to this day I still have nerves especially in front of a live audience... but, I do it because I like the growth opportunity to improve my public speaking, and I appreciate the chance to share my beliefs with a like-minded group of people.

At the end of the day, I truly want to inspire as many people as possible to be the best versions of themselves - in their personal and professional lives. I'm only 30 years old, but I feel an immense sense of gratitude for what I've experienced in life, and I hope that my story can inspire others do amazing things too.
‍

My best appearances to get an idea of my style:

• Rayobyte Stories - a series of videos with customers that go beyond data scraping, and more into life: purpose, career, and more! I am the Host in these, so you can get a feel for the type of conversations I like to have (informal, long-form).
• My founder's story - an in-depth look at my journey, including (almost) a $25m exit. Accompanying blog post here.
• How to source IPs for data scraping - a tech presentation summarizing what Rayobyte (my company) does. Includes a story about the FBI showing up at my house for the true-crime enthusiasts out there.
  ‍

Opportunities I am looking to talk more about:‍

• A chance to talk about purpose - in life and in business. See my blog post here.
• The challenges an entrepreneur faces when bootstrapping a company. Cash flow, no mentors, risk, loneliness, mental health, and much more.
• The importance for using business as a force for good, not as a means to "maximize shareholder value". Read more here in my company's Playbook, a recent blog post on Sustainability here, and all the work we've done for our team members in Ukraine.
• Self-actualization- "what one can be, one must be". I love self-improvement and perpetual growth, and wish to inspire others to achieve their own definition of success. My About page covers many of these.

If you feel that we are a good fit, please Contact me! I am open to virtual or physical conferences, as well as podcasts and webinars. I don't expect payment other than a shout out and link back to my website and company's website.
