What if the biggest opportunities in your life are the ones you’re currently saying no to?

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with Dawn Krause to unpack a journey that started out of pure necessity—raising three kids under two—and turned into building businesses, leading multiple market centers, and impacting thousands of lives.

But this isn’t just a real estate story…

This is about:

•  The power of saying yes to the right conversations
•  Why most people stay stuck (and don’t even realize it) 
•  How to shift from doing everything to building through others 
•  And the hard leadership lessons no one talks about 

From personal adversity to business breakthroughs, this conversation is packed with real, raw moments and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

If you’ve been playing it safe… this might be the conversation you need to hear.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

•  Why saying yes to the right conversations can change everything 
•  The difference between having a job vs becoming a business owner 
•  How partnerships actually work (and why most fail) 
•  The hidden danger of being “too successful” too early 
•  Why feedback is the fastest path to growth 

WHO THIS IS FOR

•  Real estate agents looking to grow or scale 
•  Entrepreneurs stuck in the “doing everything” phase 
•  Leaders building teams or partnerships 
•  Anyone feeling like they’re capable of more
