“I had the privilege of attending The Project You Experience in the fall of 2019. It was a time-out in life and a chance to step off the hamster wheel I created for myself. The PYX was a gift of "reflection time" on what had been and what could be for me, my family, colleagues, and friends. The PYX helped me reevaluate and gain perspective on my life priorities. As a result, I revisit the concepts often and share them with others who can benefit from slowing down and looking in the mirror. I encourage you to learn how to live a life of significance. ”

“Short answer - a new vision for my life, and a process to ensure my actions are aligned with it. More details in no particular order. It changed the way I think about my life and what I should be prioritizing. It gave me a process for reflection and change. It helped remove the space that I let get in between my wife and I as we had kids and our careers became more complex. It helped me reconnect with friends, have deeper conversations and help me share why I am grateful they are in my life. It gave me a longer term perspective to define what's important. It gave me new perspective on how to help others. And I am grateful for the friendships we made along the way!”

“I had the good fortune of attending The Project You Experience in Scottsdale, AZ in 2019.
It consisted of a group of very high achievers from all over the country, normally so busy accomplishing, that they not taken adequate time to reflect on their lives and what would be their true purpose in the “fourth quarter of life” - professionally, personally, and spiritually.
The open, honest and sharing atmosphere that Leo and his talented staff created allowed for ALL attendees to comfortably and openly share thoughts, struggles, stories, life lessons, etc. It was a “once in a lifetime” experience for me to be a part of this group. I highly recommend this program to anyone who desires to “Have It All”.
The program guides and mentors to this end goal that we all seem to be searching for, but so few are able to achieve! Project You allows one to gain valuable self-reflection and to one’s true purpose/role in life heading into the golden years. It was an amazing experience for all who attended. It was a wonderful bonding experience with other professionals that started out as total strangers.
It will continue to be one of the fondest and most positive experiences I have ever had. Thank you Leo and your creative team!”

“It began as introspection, reflection, and then direction.
We are all a product of those around us, including people who matter most and cared about us enough to help shape us into who we have all become. In revisiting those moments, it was important to look back and acknowledge where we have been, take stock in who we are today, and, more importantly, find direction in our path forward.
This experience created the most meaningful time out in my life to reset and calibrate a richer path. I have connected in a way that I haven't ever done so with people in my life that I see every day and those I have lost contact with from my past.
My choices and priorities are in focus and some real change is in progress including the goal to create an extra hour aligned with better decisions. Most important, this time with all of you has helped me share my journey and be a part of yours, which has helped to bring a group of us together that goes beyond any cohort experience I have ever been part of.
Finally, this PYX experience has helped redefine Legacy as a living word of intention and urgency and not something that only presents itself at the end. Thank you all."

“Project You has been, in many ways, a gift — not just a moment in time, but something that continues to shape how I see my life and how I want to live it. It gave me a clear framework to reflect deeply, to have honest and meaningful conversations with the people who matter most, and to reconnect with parts of myself I had put on pause for far too long.
It started with curiosity and reflection, but over time it became direction. It helped me quiet the noise, focus on what truly matters, and make intentional choices that align my daily actions with my deeper values and vision for the future. I’ve learned to look both inward and outward — to understand where I’ve been, who I am, and where I want to go. Equally powerful were the connections formed along the way. To be surrounded by a group of people willing to be vulnerable, honest, and supportive was truly special. The openness, laughter, and shared humanity created a sense of belonging that’s rare and meaningful.
This experience also reframed the idea of legacy for me — not as something distant, but as something alive and present in every decision I make today. It reminded me that the most lasting impact we leave is in how we show up for others and how we choose to live now.
I’m deeply grateful for the friendships, the conversations, the breakthroughs, and the shared journey. Though the program may have ended, the melody continues — and I look forward to carrying it forward with each of you."

“What PYX meant to me? As I thought about the question I kept coming back to what we discussed in that it is a gift. I then realized it has been many gifts for me, for which I will forever be grateful!
It has given me a framework to have deep, meaningful conversations with my spouse, my children, family members and dear friends. And, a way to reconnect with people who have been very important in my life.
It has given me the ability to reflect on my life in powerful ways and motivate me to make changes. It has helped me recenter on what truly matters and where I should be focused. If I did not receive all those gifts, I still consider myself so fortunate to have spent time with all of you. Making new friends and reconnecting with some after many years is something I will treasure.
THANK YOU all for the impact you had on my life during this experience! I am very hopeful we stay connected and continue to help each other!!"

“The Project You Experience has truly been a gift—one I didn’t know I needed, but now can’t imagine having missed. It’s been reflective, grounding, and unexpectedly freeing. It gave me space to pause in a way I haven’t in a long time. So much of my career has been spent trying to exceed expectations—my own, others’, and even the ones I imagine."

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience in Buffalo. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I’ve been mulling and strategizing and this will be the first in a series of musings… so much to contemplate.
I had an interesting conversation with my 25-year-old daughter Steph. We were sitting by the pool, and she asked what the course was all about, so I pulled out the notebook and read the questions … fascinating discussion. The questions from Project You beg to be discussed as a family.
This led my thinking in a different direction: you have the makings of a family meeting plan in a box.”

“I used this time to really learn more about myself; I was being asked questions that I hadn't considered! I was looking at my life from the inside out and outside in! I learned things about myself that I had not previously explored. I spent time reflecting and prioritizing, things that I had wanted to do but didn't make the time!!
I also realized what was truly important and stopped spending time on things that weren't filling my cup! It also allowed me to think about the future: what do I want that to look like? How can I start preparing now? Who is important in my life and how am I showing up for them?
I could go on and on with what I learned and how I am going to use that to shape who I am and how I show up!"

“The PYX - It meant finally giving myself permission to pause and reflect not just on the work, but on me. For so long, I’ve been focused on career. Project You gave me space to ask: Am I growing? Am I fulfilled? Am I proud of how I’m showing up?
When I started, I felt like the black sheep new, skeptical, not knowing anyone. I wasn’t even sure if I belonged. But somewhere along the way, through the conversations, the vulnerability, and the shared growth, I found what feels like the kind of friendships that last. The kind where you feel seen, challenged, and supported without needing to perform. That’s been the most unexpected and meaningful part.
It also reminded me that my identity isn’t just tied to my work. That I’m allowed to evolve. That my priorities are shifting and that’s not only okay, it’s necessary. I’m learning to make space for the things that matter most.
Most of all, it reminded me that I’m not alone in this. That reflection is powerful. That growth is personal. And that investing in me isn’t selfish, it’s my essential."
