Can I have you or your company’s work product for free? Nah, man!

As you can imagine I have put thousands of hours of work into my YouTube channel. Just like you do in your work.

We should all respect each other’s labor and the time and effort it takes to make quality content.

For my most popular playlists, I have created PDF companions you can purchase for a small price. They are all hundreds of pages long. You can find more info in the top menu.

Think of PDF Companions as a donation to the channel but you get something very valuable in return!

No. However since the videos are freely available on YouTube anyone is more than welcome to place the links to the videos pretty much anywhere so long as the link takes the viewer to the original video on YouTube.

That being said, I am open to licensing arrangements on a case-by-case basis. You can contact me via my website or even better through LinkedIn.

Not at this time. While I have tutored dozens and dozens of students (maybe even hundreds) over the years one-on-one and in group settings, I currently do not offer virtual tutoring for these reasons:

1. I am not keen on virtual tutoring since I feel that in-person teaching is more effective. I can often tell what a student is thinking just by observing body language, seeing a pencil move, a furrowed brow, etc.
2. Oftentimes my tutoring sessions turn into demonstrations because I create visuals, heuristics, and metaphors on the fly. I turn into one of those crazy teachers or someone like Mr. Wizard. Difficult to do virtually.
3. I would have to charge an hourly rate far beyond what most students can (or should) pay.
4. I think in terms of the number of learners helped per unit of time. So for now, YouTube is probably the most efficient based on that equation.
5. High-quality tutoring requires a lot of prep time before sessions. Right now, I do not have the time to fully commit to that prep work.

Yes! Reach out here and/or on LinkedIn if you would like to discuss any project where I might be of service. I can spend a few minutes reviewing a summary of the ask and then we can go from there.

I do limit myself to projects where I feel I can be of value. Therefore if my knowledge or experience is not a great fit, I will let you know to save us both time and you money.

One type of consulting I steer clear of are thesis, dissertation, or publication projects. The reason being, having been there myself, by far the best people to speak with about those are members of your committee or experts in your field. The one exception might be a thesis, dissertation, or article about education.

Yes! Under the following conditions:

1. I have the bandwidth to do a great job for you or your company.
2. The project does not violate any competition concerns with my current employer.
3. The project is well-defined, the scope is bounded, and the time is not open-ended.
4. A statement of work (SOW) is provided.
5. All necessary communication, deliverable methods, and support requirements are in place.

Absolutely! Oddly enough, I am one of those gung-ho people who love to speak or present in front of people instead of vomiting in the flower planter by the stage or desk trashcan. Not that there is anything wrong with public speaking phobias which are very real and can be debilitating.

In addition to standing in front of students for years I also do or have:

• Host bi-weekly YouTube Livestreams
• Lead teams, groups, or other informal gatherings
• Give regular work presentations
• Over a decade of in-person classroom instruction experience
• Spoke at my middle school honors night (yea, it started that long ago)
• Spoke at my high school graduation
• Spoke at my college graduation
• Called up on stage in the moment, at our company retreat consisting of several hundred colleagues, about a new product feature

In all instances, my goal is to work with the organizer to ensure that my presence adds to the event and that my raison d’être is justified.

Note that by default I would expect such engagements to be compensated in some way however I make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for charity events, fundraisers, and supported causes.  Please do not let that be a reason not to reach out!

Not yet. But it is something I am 110% definitely considering in the future. I just need the time to give it my best effort.

Like almost everything in my life, I like to keep things simple:

• PowerPoint
• Camtasia Studio
• MS Paint
• Stats software (Excel, JMP, Minitab, R)
• Canva
• iZotope RX (to get the audio perfect)
• Tubebuddy

But the most important step occurs in my brain before I ever open software.
