Hello AI, Goodbye Fear
The Opening AI Keynote to Navigate Change with Courage.
If your focus is: The Human Side Of AI & Embracing Change
The biggest challenge in the age of AI isn’t technical - it’s human.
Before teams can embrace AI, they must embrace change - and that takes courage. Skip the Tech Talk, Start with Courage.

With energy, an unparalleled outlook, and real-world insights, Garrett shows how courage—not caution-fuels growth in times of disruption. Audiences leave equipped to navigate uncertainty, embrace change, and thrive in the new world of AI. That’s why he’s the perfect opening speaker for any AI conference.
