When Failure Breaks You Open: Leon Purton on Vulnerability, Fatherhood & True Leadership

What happens when the life you thought you had under control suddenly collapses?

For Leon Purton, Air Force veteran and corporate leader, the breakdown of his marriage was the first time he had ever felt like he’d truly failed. It wasn’t just the end of a relationship — it was the crushing belief that he had failed the people he loved most.

In this raw and deeply human conversation, Leon shares how shame, grief, and identity loss cracked him open — and how he found a way forward through personal development, vulnerability, and authenticity. He speaks about fatherhood, masks, the slow leaks of burnout, and why true leadership begins not with others, but with leading yourself.

Leon’s story is a reminder that failure doesn’t define us — it refines us. The cracks don’t just show us where we’re broken, they show us where the light can come in.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like everything has fallen apart, this conversation will give you hope that you’re not broken — you’re being reshaped.
