Brian Olds

Brian J. Olds is a 1st generation entrepreneur, award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and certified introvert.

A change agent in the speaking industry, the Baltimore native inadvertently entered into 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 15,000 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.
