Originally from Heidelberg, Germany, born to a Cuban mother and a British father, Edwards is a geographic and professional mutt. Currently based in the United States, with stints on both American coasts, his history is as diverse as his DNA. From being the Musical Director of the Miami City Ballet to traveling to Istanbul with 50 Cent, Will has done some crazy $hit that fuels his animated and engaging storytelling. He pulls from his unusual experiences (like when he spoke about "life on the outside" to 500 of the most hardened criminals in a maximum security prison in Florida) and explains that all it takes is a Blueberry Muffin. That's right, a trip to the coffee shop for a Blueberry muffin, and the next thing you know, you are solving a murder and being deputized by the state attorney's office. All true and all insane. He's chased storms, putting his severe weather spotter certification from the National Hurricane Center to good use. He has built and restored cars from Ferraris to Maseratis and recently acquired a turbine helicopter. Will's trophy cabinet features numerous Grammys, Emmys, Gold records and the tuning key for Tito Puente's timbales. And if all of that isn't ridiculous enough, he owned the hottest nightclub in Miami. Edwards wants to help you live life to the fullest. Every day, someone is about to do something fantastic — and maybe even a little dangerous — but it's up to you to be open to the opportunities around you. Let Edwards guide you through these life-altering changes, to listen a little more openly and say "yes" to what scares you. You never know where you might end up! Come with him to buy that Blueberry Muffin… and next thing you know, we might be having dinner with the Prime Minister of Greece and Alice Cooper (yes, that happened too).

Failing A-Levels and not going to university yet experiencing growing a community from 0 to 1.7 million young people, working with the Prime Minister after being elected Member of Youth Parliament for Surrey representing 250,000+ people in Parliament and launching a company at 21, I feel the time is right to share my story. Taking a different route to most can be incredibly daunting - especially if you're building a community. However, as the UK Chancellor, Rt Hon Nadhim Zahawi said to me, "You can't hug the world". This is why I've spent the past 4 years learning from the UK's Chief Youth Officer and other noteworthy CEOs including the CEO of Pret a Manger, Pano Christou and the CEO of Aviva PLC, Amanda Blanc and more to see how they balance running 10,000+ people teams day-to-day.

Due to complications from birth, Emily was born with a severe form of Cerebral Palsy. Despite her disability, Emily and Francesca grew to have rich, full lives. In 2013, Emily passed from a respiratory infection antibiotics could not treat. Two years after her death, Francesca learned about the potential cannabis had to improve Emily's quality of life. It was too late for Emily to benefit, so Francesca has made it her mission to make quality cannabis is more accessible and help end the stigma around the plant.
