Most recently, Victor quit his rewarding job to pursue risk takers & world changers for a year and a half.  The first image is my favorite and sums up his departure from normalcy to an unwritten tomorrow.  These are Victor’s words on The Leap Year Project:

I began sharing the idea of Leap Year Project (LYP) with people and asking them, what would you do if YOU could take a risk to make something better? Their responses were incredible. They ranged from things they would do to better their family, their vocation, a certain cause, group of people, etc. When a friend mentioned that 2012 is actually a leapyear, I began to wonder how — and if – there was a way to invite people around the globe to actually take their own risk to make something better, share what they are learning, and tell their stories.

So, I have left a job I loved to learn and take my own risk (the-prop.org) but this project is not about what I have done, am doing, or even will do. People have taken far greater risks for good, and there are people who will come up with more amazing risks than I can even imagine. I simply hope that this year creates the space for you to take your risk—small or large, short or long.  I hope that LYP becomes a part of how you tell your story, motivate others, and—more than anything—change your life for the better.
