Speaking Topics

The Agentic Workforce: AI Agents Are Replacing Software

The next wave of AI isn't chatbots — it's agents. Peter explains the difference between prompting and building, walks through his 4-component agent framework (Personality, Goals, Tools, Skills), and shows what production multi-agent systems actually look like. Audiences leave understanding not just what AI agents are, but how to build and deploy them.

The 4-Stage AI Capability Framework

Most companies are stuck at Stage 1: Prompt Craft. Peter's proprietary framework maps the progression from basic prompting through Context Engineering, Intent Engineering, and finally Specification Engineering — where AI agents autonomously execute complex workflows. This talk gives executives a concrete roadmap for where their organization sits and where it needs to go.

From Zero to AI: Building Your First Agent in 30 Minutes

A live, hands-on demonstration where Peter builds a production AI agent from scratch during the talk. Audiences see the entire process — from defining the agent's personality and goals to connecting tools and deploying. Based on his AI Workshop curriculum that has taken thousands of people from zero to building agents.

Bitcoin, AI, and the Future of Money

As someone who bought Bitcoin at $2.52 in 2011 and later purchased a Lamborghini with 45 BTC, Peter has lived through every cycle. He connects the dots between cryptocurrency, AI, and the broader technological transformation reshaping finance, business, and society. Not hype — history, from someone who was there.

The Builder's Advantage: Why Entrepreneurs Who Ship Win

Drawing from 1 exit, 5 equity buyouts, and $33M+ deployed into startups, Peter shares what separates founders who succeed from those who don't. His philosophy — "shipped and ugly over planned and pretty" — is a tactical framework for high-velocity product development, go-to-market strategy, and venture-scale thinking.
