We talk with Dawn Cazedessus about building leadership on purpose—moving from survival mode to calling, reframing failure with structure, and choosing optimism that overflows without denying reality. Her story brings grit, faith, and measurable value into practical tools you can use today.

• why leadership matters even without a title
• Dawn’s trailer park roots and early mentors
• stones of leadership as a practical framework
• purpose-fueled grit and the 4:44 a.m. habit
• failing forward with F.A.I.L. (forgive, accept, inspect, learn)
• effective communication with W.A.I.T. and reading the room
• negotiation by outcomes and measurable value
• extreme practical optimism that resists burnout
• faith as foundation and memorial stones as reminders
• one tangible practice: write your stone and place it where you see it
