I LAUNCH ventures. I’m a Strategist, Impact Innovator, Thought Partner and Coach. I'm agile, both a thinker and doer, and seamlessly flow among levels to fill the gaps between vision and execution: • 30,000 feet: innovative strategy and tenacious creativity • 10,000 feet: management planning and tactical leadership • Boots on the ground: tangible, iterative action; bring it to life. -- My Super Powers: I unlock potential (in people and ideas) by harnessing the power of the two F's: FINANCE + FEELINGS. I joke that I’m a cross between BRENÉ BROWN... • Sharp, relatable (and sometimes comedic) analysis of our social psychological dynamics at play in any interaction, individually and collectively in our organizations, for the purpose of empowering, coaching, and journeying WITH you. AND SHARK TANK... • Business savvy and tenacious strategic creativity to bring entrepreneurial and financial solutions to life through innovative early-stage investment, business development, and landscape analysis. -- CORE INDUSTRIES: • Impact Investing (values-aligned investment strategy) • Social Enterprise (entrepreneurship, new initiative launch) • Catalytic Philanthropy (creative funding models for social impact) • Financial Sustainability (business modeling, development strategy) -- HOW I CAN HELP YOU: An overview of the hats I can wear to take you from idea through launch, from concept to tangibility, or from good to even better. I serve those DEPLOYING ASSETS (impact investors, foundations, family offices, etc.) and those BUILDING SOLUTIONS (start-up entrepreneurs, social enterprises, non-profit executives, visionary individuals, etc.). 1) EXECUTIVE STRATEGY COUNSEL Leadership can be lonely. With C-Suite expertise and being an innovative entrepreneurial thinker, I can be your executive sounding board and coach. 2) LAUNCH STRATEGIST Starting something new (program, initiative, venture)? I can turn that idea into action, and get the ball rolling. Now. 3) FINANCIAL IMPACT & INVESTMENT STRATEGIST Do you have capital that you want to activate toward a cause? I can help you get started or navigate the menu of creative financial structures. 4) PITCH COACH I’ve been a seed stage investor and vetted over 600 global enterprises across sectors in one year alone. I can demystify behind the curtain in investors’ and funders’ minds. -- Some of my NOTABLE VENTURES: • Currently building a community venture accelerator and funding platform in my hometown of Atlanta with an intentional focus on low-income entrepreneurs, especially single mothers. • Co-founded a $5.5 Million global impact investment portfolio with a focus on empowering underserved women--including the investment thesis, social impact thesis, global pipeline across 5 continents, virtual due diligence process, and post-investment advisory for a private foundation seeking to deploy direct private investments of up to $250,000 USD across multiple sectors and emerging markets. In one year alone, I recruited and vetted over 600 global ventures for investment consideration. This portfolio continues running today by my co-founder and makes early-stage investments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. • Founding team and program creator for a high-profile public-private partnership between the U.S. and Japanese governments and private industry following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake to revitalize the region hit by the devastating tsunami. This partnership and its programs continue today with high-level access on Capitol Hill, the Japanese Parliament, and among Fortune 500 companies. -- MORE ABOUT ME: I’m committed to empowering human potential, my own included. I’m a natural connector and catalyst, of people and ideas. From my own journey, I can relate to the deep satisfaction, self-confidence, and societal good that arises when you can remove the blockers (whether emotional, logistical, or financial) to being able to express the compassion that lives in your heart tangibly out in the world. Whether struggling to scale your business, tackling a need you see in your community, or aligning your financial capital with your personal values and interests, all these paths begin with caring about something enough to want to try to help. I can help you convert that feeling of CARE into effective ACTION. I thrive in navigating the ambiguity and risk (and exciting possibility) at the early stages of launching new programs, product lines, businesses, investment deals, and career/industry pivots. With my deep compassion for helping others (Enneagram #2) and tenacious strategic creativity, I want to journey with you to catalyze your ideas and impact in the world. -- MY VALUES: My relationships with clients are like all relationships I cherish in my personal life, built on trust. I value integrity, authenticity, transparency, deep listening, and self-awareness. If I’m not the right person to help you, I’ll do my best to point you elsewhere.

Brian Nathan S.

From Sales in NYC to Stages Around the World—My Journey to Coaching I’ve lived many lives—starting in the high-pressure sales world in NYC at Yelp, teaching in Vietnam, stepping onto Bollywood sets as an actor, and eventually finding my true calling: helping people break through fear and build unstoppable confidence. But my journey wasn’t a straight path. It took a wake-up call—a serious health issue—to force me to stop and reevaluate everything. I realized I had been chasing success without prioritizing my well-being or true fulfillment. That moment changed everything. I embraced a growth mindset, leaned into discomfort, and adopted the improv principle of "Yes, and"—saying yes to new opportunities and figuring things out along the way. That mindset led me to incredible experiences—facilitating over 500 online workshops and more than 100 in-person sessions, leading team-building workshops for companies like Twitter and Amazon, and teaching improv in Vietnam and India for two years to help people develop confidence, spontaneity, and resilience. How I Can Help You I now use my diverse background in mindset coaching, anthropology, and performance to help individuals and teams: ✔ Gain Clarity – Define your vision, uncover what’s holding you back, and set a clear path forward. ✔ Overcome Fear & Self-Doubt – Rewire your mindset to take action with confidence. ✔ Break Down Big Goals Into Actionable Steps – No more overthinking—just a clear, step-by-step game plan. ✔ Build Confidence That Lasts – Whether it’s speaking up, showing up, or stepping into a bigger role, I’ll help you develop the kind of confidence that sticks. ✔ Improve Communication & Leadership Skills – Using techniques from acting, improv, and public speaking, I’ll help you communicate more effectively in work and life. About Me I’m Brian Nathan, an internationally accredited Mindset and Confidence Coach, TEDx organizer, and workshop facilitator. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, I blend cultural insights and human behavior with cutting-edge coaching techniques to help people transform their lives. I’ve organized growth-focused events in the U.S., Vietnam, India, and Bali, created spaces for meaningful discussions, and hosted the podcast "On the Way" on Spotify. My goal? To empower individuals and teams to take action, unlock their full potential, and live a life of purpose and confidence. Ready to Break Through? Whether you're an individual looking to gain clarity and confidence or a team seeking stronger communication and leadership skills, let's talk. Shoot me a message, and let’s make it happen. Client Success Stories: "Brian has propelled me towards realizing my fullest potential. Each session leaves me brimming with positivity and new insights that fuel my week. Brian’s ongoing support and his vibrant energy underscore his commitment—if you aim to reach your peak potential, Brian is your ideal coach." "I approached Brian feeling stuck, needing a fresh perspective on an obstacle. He not only shifted my mindset but also laid out all the necessary action steps that had previously overwhelmed me. I was astounded by our productive collaboration." "This coaching journey with Brian has been transformative, reminding me constantly of the possibilities life holds. Witnessing monumental transitions, I see more people embracing their dreams for a soul-aligned, purposeful existence. These experiences are nothing short of magnificent."

30 million TED and TEDx views. 60% selected as TEDx "Editor's Picks." Keynotes for events and conferences across industries. Delivered on 5 continents. Speeches I've coached and/or written are all of the above. Do you want to give a great speech or presentation? Do you feel overwhelmed because you have so much to say but don't know how to shape your talk? Let me help! I've been helping speakers for a few decades as a coach and speech writer/speechwriter. Do you want to become a better communicator but don't know how? Let's work together. I've taught public speaking and speechwriting to thousands of college students (for over 20 years) and have written keynotes for countless others, including CEOs of large companies. I served as a TEDx curator and speaker coach/writer for 10 years. I've worked with over 150 TEDx speakers as their coach or writer. 60% of my TEDx speakers have been selected as "Editor's Picks," only about 200 TEDx talks get this designation each year. IMPORTANT NOTE: I do write keynotes and presentations for people who don't have an event booked. However, I only do speechwriting for TEDx speakers who have already been selected by an event to give a talk. If you are an aspiring TED or TEDx speaker, hire me for a "Consultation" or, for more extended and focused help, my "Project". The work I do falls into two categories: Individual Sessions & Speechwriting 1) Individual Sessions: Public Speaking Coaching/Speaker Coaching -Finding your leadership voice -Figuring out what to say (Conversational and Impromptu Speaking) -Bringing your voice to life (Monotone/Flat Voice) -Presentation/Keynote Support (how to learn, practice, and polish your speech/pitch) -Small group discussions (how to lead and design) -General presentation skills (how to structure your presentation for any situation, from digital to auditoriums) -TEDx support (for your presentation, application, and general questions) If you are interested in meeting with me for individualized 1-on-1 sessions for a long period of time, scheduling a 30 or 60 minute consultation would be the first step to us working together. I've worked with so many professionals who just need a little bit of help to get to where they want to be. This is what we do in my individualized sessions. The link to book our first session/consultation is linked below. If you have questions prior to booking the consultation, please send me a message. I do not do discover calls for session work. I only do discovery calls for speechwriting. 2) Speechwriting (speech writing): (my fee is flat rate only) I've written keynotes for high performing individuals in the mental health, medical, startup, technology, sport, and finance spaces. In 2023 and 2024, I've written keynotes and TEDx Talks that have been delivered on five continents. Did you know that the best speechwriters know that there are many genres, just like in literature and movies? I write across all genres, including the genre of TED Talks. Speechwriting is a craft. It's never about me but helping you shape your talk with your passion, your expertise, and your stories. A coach is a teacher who knows how to pull the best out of you. I've worked professionally as a speechwriter before getting my PhD in Rhetoric. I've studied the greatest communicators and I've learned how to pull the best out of people of all abilities and experience levels. When you put these three things together (speechwriter, coach, and academic study), I am a bit of a unicorn because I know what to do, why you need to do it, and how to make it happen. I've been lucky to have incredible clients who just want to be better communicators. And, yes, talks I've coached have over 30 million TEDx and TED views. I help people of all skill levels become exceptional communicators. For more reviews, check out my LinkedIn and LinkedIn Services pages. Below is one of the reviews you can find on LinkedIn. Brian Requarth (Entrepreneur & Shark on Shark Tank Mexico): I had a few important speaking engagements last year and I came across Jeff online. I reached out and had a few great exchanges. We worked together on a TED style talk and he was super professional. I was so impressed in his ability to explain the process, write in my voice, think and communicate with such clarity. Aside from all of that he was just super easy to work with and I felt like he really cared about my success and dedicated the time to make me feel prepared in the process. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I believe that aligning business strategy with the inherent soul of a brand, "Brand Soul," authentically leads to explosive growth, happy returning customers, organic community, personal satisfaction, and renewed clear, calm vision for growth. I'm an outside the box thinker, a renegade idea generator, a first-class implementor, and former successful entrepreneur who has experience identifying Brand Soul and creating successful campaigns and collaborations for the luxury market sector (including The Ritz Carlton, The Four Seasons Hotel, DC United Professional Soccer Team, Bravo Top Chefs and others elite brands.) My professional experience has taken me through various areas, given my management positions in: Operations, Administration, HR, Economics, Luxury Fashion, Branding, Customer Service, Luxury Sales, Customer Relations, Events Coordination, Executive Assistance for C Suite Executives, and more. I have the mind of an entrepreneur and the heart of a keystone helper. I have owned and operated a successful small business in luxury Fashion in Washington, DC for six years. This has given me the experience of growing a brand from inception to a nationally awarded Top Ten Store. It has also given me the first hand knowledge of thinking like an executive, creating structure, organizing projects, and executing tasks with precision and according to timelines. At present, I am focused on Brand Growth Strategist and Implementor, "Brand Soul" Coaching, Event Coordination, and Luxury Brand Management and Press. I am also involved in several consulting and research projects, in areas as diverse as Art, Wellness, Beauty, Software, Tech, and Luxury Fashion. Thank you for reading about me.
