Speaking
I have given talks all over the world, and I would love to speak to your community. (I teach at Baylor University, so the scheduling may depend on the academic calendar.)
Mike on "Mornings on the Mall with Brian and Larry," in Washington DC., 2015
I have a talk entitled "How to Drink like a Saint,' which is an expanded version of this essay. The presentation works well with both older and younger (college-age) audiences, and can be given at Newman Centers, parishes, festivals, fundraisers, happy hour events, etc.
Another talk that is popular with audiences young and old alike is "The Eulogy Virtues and the Art of Living." It can be adjusted for college students, young professionals, and older professionals.

I also give more scholarly presentations, such as "Saint Augustine and the Quest for Self-Knowledge" and "The Liberal Arts and the Theater of Life."
