In this Success from Day One: Origin Stories episode, Super Dave Quinn sits down with Casey Evans, MEDP, Vice President of Economic Development at the Orlando Economic Partnership, during the IAMC Winter Board Meeting in Greenville, South Carolina.

This conversation centers on a powerful lesson Casey learned early in her career—one that reshaped how she views rejection, purpose, and persistence.

After not getting a job she deeply wanted, Casey realized something important:
the disappointment wasn’t failure—it was clarity.

“I didn’t get the job, but it made me realize how badly I wanted it by how disappointed I was that I didn’t get it.”

That moment led to her core belief:

Don’t take the ‘no’ if that ‘no’ keeps haunting you.
If it sticks with you, there’s a reason. Dig into what that opportunity revealed about what you’re truly called to do.

In this episode, Casey shares how grit, self-reflection, and honest assessment helped fuel her success in economic development—and how those same principles guide her leadership today at the Orlando Economic Partnership.

Success from Day One is powered by Day One Experts, helping leaders, communities, and organizations show up prepared, aligned, and ready to win from day one.
