I've set this up so you land on the right door the first time, because booking, press, general questions, and the nonprofit all go to different places, and every single one of them goes to a real person. Pick the one that fits what you need and I promise you'll hear back.

Where to Start
If you send your message to the right door, you get a fast answer. Send it anywhere else and it might sit for a minute before it finds its way to me, so let's just skip that part.
Booking · Speaking · Training · Consulting
If you're planning a keynote, a workshop, ongoing professional development, a consulting engagement, or a content partnership, this is you. Head over to the Work With Ernest page, where you can compare formats first, and the booking form there will ask about your format, your audience, and your dates.
Go to the booking formPress · Media · Interviews
I know you don't have time to wait on me, so grab the bio, headshots, one-sheet, topics, and credentials below right now, no form required. If you need an interview, send it to the press address and I'll get back to you fast.

Maybe you've got a question about the curriculum, a correction for me, an invitation, or you just want to say thank you. Whatever it is, if it isn't a booking or a press ask, drop it below and I'll read it myself.
Ask belowDonations · Partnerships · Volunteering
That's the nonprofit, and it runs its own programs, partnerships, and funding, completely separate from my speaking calendar. Head over there and let's talk about how you can help.
Go to the nonprofitI don't run this through a ticketing system, an agency intake queue, or some autoresponder built to make you feel heard while nothing actually happens. What you send goes to a small team, and most of the time, it goes straight to me. And if the answer is no, or not right now, or you really should be talking to somebody else, I'll tell you that plainly instead of leaving you sitting there wondering.
Press & Media
I get it, if your segment airs Thursday, you don't have time for a back-and-forth, you just need a headshot and a bio you can trust. Both of those are one click away, no form standing between you and them.
Free · No Form Required
Everything is in here: short bio and long bio, high-resolution headshots for print and web, a speaker one-sheet, topics and interview subjects, my credentials and award citations, logo files, and a booking contact.

General Inquiries
If none of the doors above quite fit what you're asking, this is where it goes. Short is fine, I'm not grading you on it.
The newsletter is free, the curriculum is free, and the podcast is free, and none of it requires you to talk to me or anybody else first.
