Pierce Brantley
author, speaker, entrepreneur
Pierce Brantley is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and Christian businessman. He has successfully launched, run, and sold his own company, served as an executive for a top-ten Social PR firm in Dallas and consulted with numerous Fortune 500 companies. He studied Disruptive Business Strategy under the late Clayton Christensen at Harvard Business School.
As the oldest of nine children, he grew up in the boondocks of East Texas and well below the poverty line. Total reliance on God, the need to provide for his family, and a strong work ethic borne of necessity, resulted in his drive. Today, he puts that same intense motivation into teaching people how to lead themselves and their businesses well.
When he’s not consulting on product strategy, Brantley spends his time writing books about calling and career. Brantley is the author of Calling: Awaken to The Purpose of Your Work, Creating Heroes: The 10 Tactics of Client Leadership and Organizational Management, and Power Love Sound Mind: 52 Week Soul Strategy. Through each book, Brantley leverages his dual calling in business development and Christian leadership to guide readers toward success—whether on the job or in ministry.
His hope is that, through his work, others will learn more about the work to which they’ve been called. He believes everyone has a role to play in the Kingdom. There is not a person alive who doesn't have a called career, pre-assigned by the Almighty, to do with their time on earth.
Pierce and his wife Kristie live in Dallas, TX.
As a type-A, twenty-first-century, faith-driven entrepreneur, there is a single word I turn to that consistently evokes enthusiasm throughout my soul. That word is discipline.
