Today’s guest is: Brian J. Olds
Brian J. Olds wasn’t born with a natural enthusiasm for public speaking.
A burgeoning change agent in the industry, the Baltimore native inadvertently
entered the world of speaking when he delivered his first speech to the Morgan State
University Toastmasters Club in 2006. Recalling this as one of his most defining life
moments, Brian instantly connected to his passion when he found himself in front of a standing
ovation at the conclusion of that speech.
Identified as a “curator of collaboration”, Brian specializes in empowering rising professional
speakers to create clarity, streamline systems, and cultivate the relationships needed to
reach the unique audience they are called to serve. His passion for speaking, diversity and
building relationships led him to create Black Speakers Network (BSN), a membership-based
professional speaker development and empowerment company. With an active network of more than
10,000 speakers, BSN is committed to equipping, connecting, and inspiring the next generation of
professional Black speakers.
With a deep appreciation for the artistry of speaking at the helm of his career, Brian J Olds is
defining success on his own terms. His impact is illustrated perfectly in industry mate Zig
Ziglar’s quote, “It’s not where you start – it’s where you finish that counts.”
