Episode notes

What if the only thing standing between where you are… and where you want to be… is one bold decision you haven’t made yet? In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin Bailey and Al McDonald sit down with Dan Turner, CEO at Xperigo, to unpack a career built not on perfect timing or traditional paths, but on courage, persistence, and the willingness to step through doors before they fully open. Dan’s journey starts far from the boardroom, as an 18-year-old tow truck driver with no clear direction. But one moment, one story, one decision to believe something bigger was possible, set him on a path that would eventually lead him to the CEO seat. This conversation dives deep into what it really takes to grow into leadership, how calculated risks can redefine your career, and why the leaders who win today are the ones who lead with trust, vulnerability, and genuine care. From spotting opportunity before it’s obvious, to building a culture that fuels performance, to redefining what great leadership actually looks like, this episode is a powerful reminder that success is not a straight line, it’s a series of brave choices made consistently over time.
