Topics:
Brant Menswar is a Cornell-certified leadership expert, bestselling author, and founder of Black Sheep Foundry—but what makes him different is simple: He’s built an approach that works.
For over a decade, Brant has researched the force behind every high-performing team: belief. Not vague inspiration. Not surface-level engagement. Belief rooted in personal conviction — the kind that shapes how people lead, decide, and show up.
He’s helped over 100,000 people discover what they stand for. He’s worked with Netflix, Verizon, Microsoft, NASA, and Hilton. And he’s brought that same research-backed framework to leadership stages nationwide—combining the precision of a Cornell-trained expert with the energy of a former national touring rock musician.
Before keynotes, Brant spent two decades as a national recording artist with Big Kettle Drum, earning Billboard recognition and SiriusXM airplay. He learned one thing on stage that changed everything: belief is contagious. When a crowd believes, they move. When a team believes, they perform.
The result? Leaders who make decisions with conviction. Teams that trust each other. Cultures that perform under pressure.
Most opening keynotes get a room excited. Brant’s gets them to believe. He calls it InspirACTional, because inspiration without action is just a good feeling that fades by lunch. This is the talk that decides whether your audience shows up, steps up, and stays for everything that follows.
Brant Menswar helps organizations amplify belief in their leadership, their purpose, and their future, so their people reengage, perform, and stay. He has done it for Netflix, NASA, Microsoft, Verizon, and ESPN, and he does it as the rare keynote speaker who can hold a room of executives and a room of frontline staff with equal command.
Book him to open. An opener sets the altitude for the room. By the time Brant says his closing line, your audience is leaning in for the next three days, not checking their phones.
Big Goals come with big commitments, big costs, and big timelines. How do you keep everyone engaged, focused, and taking ownership of their role over the course of months or years? The Big Goal Blueprint breaks down a daunting long-term goal into powerful everyday moments giving everyone from the front line to the C-suite an opportunity to own a moment and create unstoppable momentum.

Performed by Brant Menswar and Broadway veteran Ben Thompson
STAND is not a keynote with a few songs in it. It is a fully realized leadership musical, the first of its kind, co-created and performed by Brant Menswar and Broadway veteran Ben Thompson. It takes the ideas that move an audience intellectually and delivers them through live performance that moves them somewhere words alone cannot reach.
STAND is built for the moment your conference needs to feel like an event, not an agenda item. It works as a morning keynote, a dinner program, or an evening showcase, giving you flexibility to place it wherever the energy of your event needs a peak.

Be the Reason They Show Up, Step Up and Stay
What if your leaders left a keynote with a clear, actionable framework for creating the kind of pull that drives performance, strengthens culture, and makes great people want to stay? That’s exactly what happens in Magnetic Leadership.
Former rock star, Top 10 Speaker and best-selling author Brant Menswar delivers a high-energy, interactive live experience giving leadership a practical how-to playbook. By combining groundbreaking research, world-class storytelling, laugh-out-loud humor, and moments of genuine emotional connection, he reminds leaders what’s possible when people aren’t pushed to perform…but pulled to it.
According to Deloitte, McKinsey, and Gallup, the current state of workplace engagement, trust, and commitment is nothing short of alarming. And the organizations feeling it most aren’t struggling because of strategy, structure, or compensation. They’re facing something far more fundamental — a belief crisis. The force that pulls people in. And there’s only one thing that solves it.
A leader who knows how to build believers.
Even if you believe that you have clarity on your core values and purpose or that your company’s culture is in a good place, Brant’s insights and passion for impacting lives and offering hope for a better future will take your business and life to the next level. By identifying my “non-negotiables,” I’ve witnessed the effect first hand with our company and with my family.
Brant has the allure of a rock star, the creativity of an artist, and a passion to capture hearts and minds.
