Will Acuff's entrepreneurial journey is a powerful testament to purpose-driven innovation and resilience.

As the organization grew, Will stepped back from leadership to focus on expansion and fundraising. Inspired by personal challenges, including parenting a child with disabilities, Will then authored No Elevator to Everest, a heartfelt book about resilience, purpose, and finding joy in the face of life's steepest climbs.

I met Will Acuff five years ago at the prompting of my good friend Nick Holland. We met to discuss his idea for a non profit that he and his wife Tiffany wanted to start to create infrastructure for the work they had already been doing in their neighborhood. Five years later and they have graduated hundreds of their neighbors through their "Academy", a 12 week entrepreneurship program, and have made an economic impact in their neighborhood over $3M dollars a year. This is a truly inspiring story. It touches on race, faith, economics, and America. And of course the power of creativity.
