Will has had a boundless curiosity and passion for life since childhood. As the son of a candy inventor father and later an academic leader in the arts stepfather, his journey has been rich in creativity and grounded by his mother's wisdom. He brings this to bear by personally leading many of EB’s retreats for those in transition, lifting hearts and minds, and creating events, experiences, and content for the world around him.
Will’s podcast, ELEVATE, has a global following from all walks of life, featuring deep stories exploring the lives of fascinating friends in science, exploration, sports, academics, art, and all journeys in entrepreneurialism. He brings this inspiration to life as a motivational speaker, investor, collaborator, and father. He lives with his family and wife, Zhanna, between the island of Bali, Indonesia, and New York City.
Philosophy
If someone else has done it – you can too. Unite with people who respect and lift your dreams. Bow out of societies, clubs, jobs and relationships that don’t. We have two choices for how we look at the world.. choose the one half full, because a majority of people that guide you will try and drive you to the half empty choice, for their own personal gain.
Friendships…the right ones are crucial. Who you work with… make their skills superior to yours and ensure they love and respect what you do. Commit and then work it out and accept opportunities that you know in your heart and gut, fuel your passions and love for life. You only have one.Make every moment count on your clock… no one else’s… and live every day like it’s your last. It maybe.
