About Our Founder, Brian J. Olds
Since childhood, society had branded him as the lanky, peculiar kid who was best-suited staying out of the way. Nevertheless, he felt a calling on his life to reach the masses and transform lives at a young age. But in a restless city like Baltimore, MD —where Brian was raised—there is so much noise to break through just to discover yourself, let alone your transformative message.
So in 2006, he did just that and joined a Bootcamp for aspiring speakers. Determined to turn up the volume on his life and break through the noise, Brian delivered his very first public address that year; palms sweating and notes dampening with every thought of being judged by a classroom full of eager and unfamiliar faces.
To his relief and destiny’s satisfaction, he crushed his inaugural presentation and scored these bonus revelations: Speaking is his passion, and providing peers with dependable resources for education and opportunity is his purpose. From then on, Brian manifested his passion and purpose like wildfire—booking speaking engagements and hosting forums throughout the United States.
Pretty soon, there simply weren’t enough hours in the day for Brian to travel to every aspiring speaker who requested coaching. He was sharing tried and true methods, prioritizing service to aspiring Black speakers, unlike any other industry guru at the time.
In 2016, Brian was determined to ensure that all black people could benefit from that same energy and expertise anywhere in the world. Thus, Black Speakers Network was born. BSN equips, connects, and inspires the next generation of Black Professional Speakers. Through our trusted network, black people are being trained, empowered, and paid to serve audiences around the world by tapping into their unique gifts and delivering impactful messages.

"BSN has enabled me to gain a foundational understanding of the speaker business. Not only have the resources increased the number of speaking engagements I have received, but the I have developed strong partnerships with key trailblazers within the industry.
