Speaking & media
Talks, panels, and interviews
Bill speaks to executive teams, industry conferences, and newsrooms about the decisions this book is built around.
Talk topics
Neutrality is a position now
Why staying quiet stopped reading as restraint, what audiences fill the silence with, and how to tell which of your silences are already being interpreted.
The six-question framework
A working session on the core decision model: whether an issue is genuinely yours, what engagement would cost, and what the organization must be able to withstand afterward.
Anatomy of a backlash
What Target, Bud Light, Tesla, and Cracker Barrel actually reveal about the mechanics of a boycott — and how to tell a customer revolt from coordinated noise.
Your name is the brand
For creators, professionals, and employees: how a single post becomes a search result, and what to do about the ones already out there.
For journalists and producers
Bill is available for interviews on brand trust, boycotts, online reputation, domain security, and how search and social platforms shape public perception. He is regularly cited in trade and mainstream coverage and can speak to specific cases on short notice.
Review copies of The Unofficial Ballot are available to working journalists, podcasters, and reviewers ahead of publication. Media kit materials — high-resolution cover art, author photography, and a short and long biography — are available on request.
For event organizers
Formats include a 45-minute keynote, a 60- to 90-minute workshop built around the decision framework, panel participation, and closed-door executive briefings. Requests should include the audience, the date and location, the format, and what you want the audience to leave able to do.
Take a side or stay neutral — but do it on purpose.
The book is coming in 2026. Ask a question, request a review copy, or invite Bill to speak.
