William Rodríguez Abadía

After turning his life over to God, and himself over to Law Enforcement, William Rodríguez Abadía has made it his personal mission to educate youth around the world that being part of a cartel is not cool, fun, or ever going to end anything but incarceration, misery or death. This is why he was named a World Ambassador of Peace by the World Peace Organization. When he tells his story, young men and women listen to him because he is the eldest son of Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, the co-founder of Colombia's Cali Cartel. This organization was considered, at one point, as one of the biggest, and most infamous drug cartels in the world, and was portrayed in the Netflix series Narcos, and El Cartel de Los Sapos El Origen.

He has an MBA from the Instituto de Empresa de Madrid and holds a Law degree with a laureate thesis in Constitutional Law from the University of San Buenaventura, Cali – Colombia. William was the Sports Director of the America de Cali football team during the nineties, winning multiple national and international championships. Today he’s a globally recognized speaker and advocate of conflict resolution and mental health.
