Yes! Of course. I have a studio replete with top-of-the-line cinema-quality videography, streaming, sound and lighting, and have facilitated many a virtual session—conferences, firesides, panels, leadership off-sites, hackathons and more. I love virtual.

I have worked across most industries now. And, whilst I am deft with all audiences, I tend to work particularly well with smart and sceptical folks who’ve “seen it all before”. Most of the time I forget to ask for testimonials because it’s a tad awkward, but here are few from the times I did remember.

Yes! Naturally. I have wonderful working relationship with many speaker bureaux and professional conference organisers. If you have a working relationship with a bureaux agent I will happily honour that (now, and forevermore).

I’m an affable wizard, and can make magic in even the most challenging contexts. Having said that, I do have some recommendations for how to make the most of my contribution. I have detailed these in my ‘event kit’.

Hoho, yes. But I am the Archwizard of Ambiguity and the wily foxwizard. My ways are frequently unfathomable. But in earnestness; I find myself quite constantly embarrassed by my past self. In the living world, things die and decay—but here in the noösphere the internet preserves all of our thoughts in an undeathly stasis. This eldritch power thus means that people will frequently interact with the ideas of my past self. And whilst, to be fair, these ideas still hold merit today—I do not like to be overly haunted by phantoms of my past self. Thus, every few years I immolate or otherwise obfuscate much of what I have done. This saves me from using past thinking as a crutch—although occasionally some treasures are lost in the process. So be it.

To put it more eloquently, here is an excerpt from Lewis Hyde’s Trickster Makes This World:—

“Better to operate with detachment, then; better to have a way but infuse it with a little humour; best, to have no way at all but to have instead the wit constantly to make one's way anew from the materials at hand.”

I would be delighted to join you. Even if your endeavour caters to a niche audience, I am genuinely elated at the prospect. My only stipulations are that our values align, that there are no cringe-inducing hustle vibes or uncomfortable self-promotion, and that the discussion is open to unexpected turns (surprise and delight) rather than being overly scripted performative. I cherish opportunities to delve into novel, nuanced, and emerging domains alongside warm-hearted and bright-minded folk. Should this resonate with you, please do not hesitate to reach out with the secret phrase “I read the faq btw lol” (signalling that you are a kindred spirit).

Oh yes. Yes I do. From wondrous intellectual speakeasy salons replete with jazz bands and whisky tastings through to fae solstice celebrations in the forest—my events are warm, enchanting and mythic. You really ought come along. Stay subscribed to The Museletter to hear of my next one.

Hoho; well. The simple answer is: yes, for a fee. My summoning fees are what help buy me the time to do my research and writing—which, in turn, attracts the interest in paying for the applied distillations of wit and wisdom. It’s a virtuous cycle.

However, if you're organising a genuinely remarkable event that will draw a sufficient number of fascinating people, we might—just might—be able to arrange something where I donate my time for free.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have friends host gatherings in cities while I've toured Europe and America, and I've reciprocated for similar-such in Melbourne (in roasteries and distilleries, no less). My semi-improvised fireside evocations tend to be well-suited for such occasions. If you believe I might be enchanted by the intent and form of your event, please feel free to entice me.

I do indeed offer private consultations. Here we can discuss an active quest, a project, or anything on your mind. I also answer all questions from friends of the foxwizard each month. If your matter is not private or pressing, this could be an option for you.
