Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think everyone has these three zones
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Their comfort zone, their learning zone,\Nand their panic zone.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think our most defining moments,\Nand our greatest lessons
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come when we take risks to move
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from comfort into learning
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and maybe, to the edge of panic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm on this stage,\Nbecause I did not go to grad school.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead, about five years ago,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after working with middle school,\Nand high school students,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I was curious about the intersection\Nof for profit, and for purpose businesses.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was almost going to go to a traditional\Ngrad school to get a master's in business.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the costs were too high,\Nand the style didn't fit me.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I decided I would try to design\Nmy own education.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By doing twelve projects in twelve months\Naround the world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would source these projects\Nby talking to companies in design,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and business and social change.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I would try to find one project I could \Ncomplete over the course of the month.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would fund my year by creating a newsletter\Nthat my friends and family could subscribe to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at ten dollars a month.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I would share my learnings\Nwith them each month.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now as I was travelling to\Nfulfill this idea,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had met all kinds of amazing people.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who started talking to me\Nabout the ideas they had,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to learn in a different kind of way,\Nor to create change to take leaps of their own.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I created an invitation\Nfor those people, to send stories
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the leaps they were taking,\Nthe risks they were taking,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to learn, grow, and create change\Nin their communities.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I promised that if\Nat the end of the year,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had enough stories, we would take\Nthose stories and make a book.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at the end of the year,\Nsure enough, we created a book
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called "THE LEAPYEAR PROJECT",\Nof those stories.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this kind of became my dissertation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also needed my place to graduate.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some way to end my year.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there was a TED conference\Nhappening in Chicago.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I put a cap and gown on,\Nand that was my graduation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in 2013, after this was all over,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We launched a school, where\Npeople could come and design
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their education through experiences,\Nin their field of study.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We called it the "EXPERIENCE INSTITUTE"
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I even got to meet Oprah.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now this is pretty traditional.\NMe trying to explain
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some sort of audacious idea\Nto someone who is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much more successful and powerful.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And really probably doesn't\Nactually care about what I'm saying.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a good picture of that year.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now that was one of the most\Ntransformative years of my life.
