For event organizers
Sam gives 30-minute keynotes and executive briefings about AI strategy, internal builders, and software economics. Choose a topic below, or send the audience and the problem. He will recommend the closest fit.
One useful email is enough to start. This page is built to forward internally.
The shortest useful brief is three lines: who is in the room, what they are deciding, and what would make the session worth the time.
Three starting points
Each program uses a prepared case, changes for the audience, and includes a practical tool people can use afterward.
What should your company own, build, or replace?
How CEOs keep control of their data, economics, and operating leverage as AI moves into the core of the company.
Who inside the company is already AI-native?
How to identify employees who are already using AI to improve real work, then help them do more of it.
Which subscriptions have become economically indefensible?
A guided teardown of what a company rents, what it should keep, and what has become cheaper to own.
The first note
A finished agenda can come later. These details are enough to decide whether there is a useful session here.
The event date and location.
Who will be in the room.
The decision or problem they are working through.
The format and time already on the agenda.
Chair packet
The room gets a working session built around its question. Runpoint services stay out of the presentation. Austin is the travel base.

Short bio
Sam co-founded Runpoint, Mutual Mobile, and Jog.ai. He also owns Austin Custom CNC. His talks come from the operator's side of software: what companies should own, how to find internal builders, and when a custom system makes economic sense.
