Leadership Growth & Transitions

Helping leaders navigate
what comes next.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the incredible joy of building programs, tools, and teams that help people grow through transformative experiences.

It started in 2012 when I designed my own Masters through 12 experiences in 12 months (Leap Year Project). That year opened up a whole new world of remarkable people and opportunities, including the start of an education company I founded called Experience Institute. Since then, a remarkable team and I have stood firmly in the corner of students, executives, and teams across organizations such as Google, Apple, Disney, Red Bull, Kraft, Publicis, UC Berkeley, and Penn — all through the thick of thin of life and work’s biggest moments.

Along the way, a few folks took notice. I was inducted into Forbes 30under30, received a Core77 Design Award, and was given the chance to build a class for Stanford’s d.school that is now a required course for all juniors in the new DESIGN major.

Today, I serve as Chairman at Experience Institute and Partner/Chief Talent Officer at NextGen Growth Partners, where I get to search for and support the world's greatest entrepreneurs, CEOs, and investors through leadership and business-building transitions.

All of that sounds grand, but really...I’m just a leader who cares about helping people flourish and is trying to make the world a little brighter.

Here, I write openly and honestly about my work and lessons. I hope these pieces offer a dose of inspiration and guidance as you find your way.

Thanks for being here.
