Pierce D. Logan, founder of QWERT Poetry, LLC, is a solopreneur who commissions personalized poems on a manual typewriter for strangers at special events and through partnerships. Strangers approach the typewriter to engage in an intimate session, during which meaning is extracted from deep conversation with the poet. Pierce then composes the poem and, finally, the requester welcomes home a timeless keepsake. Throughout the past decade of exploring people's special moments during these poetry sessions, Pierce has learned that all humans have a distinct need to be witnessed and listened to. As a former educator of ten years, the greater purpose of QWERT has come to be to revive the necessary role of the bard in society through literacy development workshops and community engagement.

Andrea Adams is a Certified Transformation Coach and the founder of The Haamiah Method, a structured yet deeply personal framework designed to help women break free from toxic workplace dynamics, dysfunctional family systems, and emotionally unsafe relationships. Her work is grounded in both lived experience and professional development. After navigating years of emotional manipulation, systemic dysfunction, and complex relational dynamics in both corporate and family environments, Andrea invested in certifications in coaching and undertook extensive research to understand the deeper psychological and nervous system patterns that keep capable women stuck. She distilled this learning into The Haamiah Method, a clear pathway for women who are high-functioning on the outside but emotionally exhausted underneath. Andrea specialises in helping women recognize patterns of emotional control, covert manipulation, people-pleasing, over-functioning, and identity loss. Her approach combines trauma awareness, practical boundary work, emotional regulation, and identity reconstruction. Rather than teaching women to “push through,” she teaches them how to return to themselves. Her mission is simple: to help women rebuild a life anchored in emotional clarity, self-trust, and meaningful, healthy connection, whether in the workplace, at home, or within themselves. Through her coaching practice, Andrea brings language to the invisible dynamics many women experience but struggle to articulate. She is committed to breaking generational cycles of dysfunction and helping women rise beyond the environments that once silenced them. The change begins with you, and the return begins within.

Nicolas Grebenkine has built his career on timing. He moves in when markets are ready to expand, but before the crowd arrives. That sense of timing comes from both instinct and experience. Grebenkine began in investment management, making calls on which startups and technologies deserved capital. This experience later shaped his instincts as an entrepreneur. With Aetsoft he launched 10 products, many recognized by international startup accelerators. Grebenkine entered blockchain in 2016, convinced that smart contracts would eventually reshape finance. During the DeFi years, he pushed Aetsoft to master low-level blockchain infrastructure. Now, with regulations finally in place, Aetsoft delivers enterprise-grade digital asset solutions. For other emerging tech, Grebenkine follows the same playbook: move early and master core technology to deliver complex enterprise solutions. In AI, that included private data centers, not just chatbot interfaces. In clean energy, it meant wind turbine systems. With Nikola, Aetsoft builds the technologies the world will run on tomorrow. His dual perspective, investor and entrepreneur, defines Aetsoft today.

Alicia Cadiz graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2019, with a degree in Psychology and Criminology. Alicia then went on to attend Manhattan College where she obtained her Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2021. Throughout her two year Masters's Degree program, Alicia worked with veterans, helping acclimate them from deployment life to academic-civilian life, in addition to working at a Mental Health agency in Rockland County, NY. Once the pandemic took over the world, Alicia moved to Florida after graduating with her Master's Degree and worked in the Florida prison system for two years as a mental health therapist (pre-licensure). Alicia helped the incarcerated population overcome addiction, navigated the trials and tribulations of those who had a life sentence, and provided de-escalation, crisis, and behavioral management techniques. During this time Alicia worked grueling 12-hour days, yet still managed to pass her licensure exam (NCMHCE) to become fully licensed in the state of Florida. This experience taught Alicia the meaning of hard work, dedication, ambition, and most importantly, that you can achieve anything you work hard enough for, as long as you believe you are strong enough to make a difference in the world.
