What does it really take to build a coaching career that’s both impactful and sustainable? 

In this episode, Cam sits down with Chris Dawson to explore how a clear personal vision and a thoughtfully designed offering can shape a sustainable coaching practice. Chris shares his journey from college quarterback at Tulane to high school football coach and eventually into coaching leadership teams, highlighting how his philosophy of leadership became the foundation for his work. They unpack how BITE7 and the Seven Critical Needs emerged from that vision, why it was intentionally designed to integrate with EOS rather than add more complexity, and how a focused offering helps coaches create real, measurable impact for the teams they serve.
