Facilitated by Wil Massara


Hi, my name is Wil 👋 I am an 18-year-old social entrepreneur with the goal to support teenagers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, authors and all those who cross my path more empowered and more equipped to act on their inspiration and businesses. 

I grew up always thinking a little differently, with my mind always on creating a solution 🧠. I began my entrepreneurial journey at 11 with an aviation consulting website, Planeapidea - The Wikipedia of Planes with the mission to take the stress out of air travel ✈️ 

Quickly moving through high school beginning to become frustrated with the lack of leadership and business within the system, the quote by Malcolm X left a fire within me. “If not me, then who? If not now then when?” and at 15, I founded Youth Leadership Academy Australia 💥

Over the past 3️⃣ years, I have built the company to become a prominent brand supporting over 10,000 young people from over 400 schools across Australia. Additionally, I have had the privilege to speak all things business and leadership across the globe as a keynote speaker 🌏

Currently, I am studying for my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) to increase my knowledge and understanding of business and how to scale effectively 👨‍💻 and continuously welcome new opportunities and speaking engagements.
