Inspirational Keynote experiences crafted to drive the creative thinking that unlocks breakthrough ideas.

HI—I’m
TUCKER Bryant.

I’m a poet, ARTIST, and keynote speaker.

I spent around a decade studying and working alongside innovation giants at Stanford and Google by day and writing and performing poems in my free time. 

But years of practicing the systematic, framework-driven thinking of Silicon Valley collided with my instincts as a poet, pushing me to reimagine what a poem could be if I treated it with the same rigor and questioning I saw fueling world-changing ideas. I began to ask: what if poems weren’t “just” words on a page?

I began creating poems that were interactive and experiential: a poem disguised as computer journal entries that led folks on a mystery. A poem you had to destroy to read. A poem I flew a complete stranger to the Philippines (with an hour’s notice!) to encounter in person.

I realized that the job of a poet isn’t just to write poems—it’s to invent experiences that shake us awake to new ways of seeing. And the same creative principles that fuel those experiments can help leaders break free from routine, spark innovation, and unlock the ideas that empower us to seize any opportunity even when the world is uncertain.

Since 2022, I’ve had the privilege of traveling the world as an innovation keynote speaker, crafting experiences that reveal how leaders can Turn the Page™ on their most pressing challenges using the creative principles poets use to craft their boldest work. My poems, which have been viewed millions of times, have been featured at live events hosted by TEDx, The New York Times, and scores of Fortune 500 companies from Switzerland to Oman. I’ve had the honor of serving as a conference keynote speaker after and alongside names like Mel Robbins, Mark Cuban, Malcolm Gladwell, and Gary Vaynerchuk.
