More About Pierce
With first-hand experience dealing with great loss and great recovery, Pierce J. Brooks is an empowerment speaker giving practical solutions for people to find meaning and lessons from trauma. As a former college athlete, Pierce was pressured to excel in basketball, ultimately playing at the Division I level. After losing scholarships and his father’s tragic suicide, he hit a personal rock bottom before age 20. Pierce responded with personal reflection, examination, and realignment of purpose. Most notably, Pierce shared his story in his TEDx speech “Playing the Game of Social Pressure.”
 
Pierce is currently speaking online and at in-person events. He has transformed his career experience at CPG brands and sports and entertainment firms into a foundation for helping people across the professional and personal spectrum. Pierce is a graduate of Dickinson State University and the university’s first-ever student commencement speaker. He credits his uncle, Bill Duffy, one of the most successful sports agents in the world, for his guidance and positive influence. Pierce enjoys horseback riding, collecting vinyl records, and sharing his empowerment journey.
On 28 May 2020, Pierce J. Brooks announced the launch of his flagship brand and company, Empowered Storytellers.
