Speaking · Strategy · Live Appearances
Mike Pope's time is the scarce part of Pope Studios: keynotes, conferences, workshops, strategy, advocacy preparation, live appearances, and book-plus-event packages.
Budget guidance: speaking and live work typically $5,000–$15,000+. Travel, audience, format, preparation, and books affect the final quote.
Work That Requires the Human
That scarcity belongs in the price. Travel, live appearances, speaking, facilitation, and direct strategic work are scoped around the real room and the outcome it needs.
Education, parenting, trust, responsibility, leadership, evaluation, and systems.
Structured conversations that help a group see the system, decision, or contradiction clearly.
Meetings, arguments, documents, positioning, and preparation for difficult institutional conversations.
Package a talk, appearance, or workshop with copies for attendees, members, employees, or families.
Authority You Can Verify
He spent twenty-two years in public education, wrote the arguments, built the books, and created the character that reaches the same systems through comedy.
Firsthand classroom experience before the leadership titles and system-level decisions.
Assistant-principal and principal experience inside evaluation, accountability, trust, and leadership.
Published work a conference, school, association, or audience can inspect before making the call.
The Serious Side
For schools, parent groups, associations, organizations, and audiences working through questions of responsibility, trust, measurement, leadership, and institutional decision-making.
The Satirical Side
For brands, companies, creators, conferences, and associations that want recognizable satire built around the truth of their own industry, audience, product, or culture.
Bulk Orders
Schools, districts, unions, stores, businesses, conferences, and organizations can request a mixed-title or same-title quote. Pope Studios confirms availability and sends a manual Stripe proposal or invoice—there is no consumer cart.
