Hey y'all, I'm Fernando - founder of Ellis Impact, a philanthropy consulting organization dedicated to moving as much funding to the charities and programs that have the greatest possible impact on those most in need. I believe philanthropy is one of the most impactful actions anyone can take, and I'm committed to helping donors MAXIMIZE the charitable impact of their hard-earned dollars so that we can change more lives for the better. We focus on the three cause areas based on the research of 4 independent, impact-focused charity evaluators and recommend charities which are 10-1000x more impactful than the average, helping your dollars go further. 1. Extreme poverty and preventable diseases 2. Extreme animal suffering on factory farms 3. Climate change and other catastrophic risks (nuclear conflict, misaligned AI, and pandemics) We work with donors looking to give >$10,000/year and provide custom charity recommendations that align with their mission, values, and philanthropic goals. I'm giving a talk at Google in November and am looking to cultivate my public speaking skills so that I can more effectively galvanize support and move more money to where it can help the most. Looking forward to meeting and connecting with you all! 💪🏽 F.

Hi there! I’m Ambra – writer, speaker and founder of Brave Speaker Academy. I’m on a mission to help my community members step into their bravest selves and find the confidence to share their message in a way that feels real and unique. In addition to leading Brave Speaker Academy, I’m also a co-founder of Empoweress Poetry Press, where I help amplify voices through creative writing and storytelling. For 4.5 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of students to achieve their mindset and business goals in Tom Bilyeu’s community at Impact Theory. I’ve hosted live virtual events for hundreds, spoken at corporate conferences, and even delivered my own TEDx talk. Through Brave Speaker Academy, I combine my passion for coaching and community building to help others overcome their fears and step into the spotlight—whether that’s in front of a live audience, on camera, or in everyday life. I believe that when you invite bravery actively into your life, your voice becomes unstoppable! My motto: Bravery is a breath away. (Your turn!
