Running a business is a lot like running a marathon… everyone wants the gold medal but few are willing to train and create the endurance to finish. Brian J. Olds is training for his own first 100-mile cycling marathon, but in between that, he is the Founder and President of Black Speakers Network (BSN). BSN is a membership-based professional speaker development and empowerment company with an active network of more than 10,000 speakers. Their mission is to equip, connect, and inspire, the next generation of Black Professional Speakers.
