Victor Saad is an entrepreneur, coach, and talent leader who helps people through transitions.
After deciding against traditional grad school and instead creating his own successful masters program “The Leap Year Project”, Victor founded Experience Institute, a new type of higher education rooted in real-world experience. But that was over a decade ago.
Victor recently transitioned from being the full time CEO of the company he had started to advising on the board and stepping into a new full time role at another company in a different industry.
In this episode, Melissa gets curious about what it takes to make a transition away from a business that you’ve built. And what does it feel like to start in a new role after being the leader and expert of your own thing for a long time?
Victor shares about the entrepreneurial “tick” that shaped his early career, the creation of his self-designed “Leap Year”, and how to transition without losing the core of who you are.
If you’re navigating your own leap—whether it’s career, identity, or a more quiet shift in direction—this conversation offers a crash course in how to change your life.
