Casey and his team are pioneering a new kind of banking business, one whose origins go back to a small classroom at Dematha Catholic High School, where Crawford spent two years in high school.
“I went to Dematha to play football, basketball, and baseball,” Casey said, “But the lesson that has stayed with me the longest came from a teacher who taught philosophy there. One day, he wrote on the chalkboard love means acting in the long-term best interests of others. The phrase and the call have continued to shape my life ever since.”
Casey has been recognized as a John Maxwell Transformational Leader, an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, and a Super Bowl champion. In the podcast, he brings a lively and self-deprecating wit to bear in recounting the ups and downs of his sports and business careers.

"Don is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for a long time and every time we talk I walk away wiser and more inspired. He is the best in the business at teaching you a skill – storytelling – that will last you a lifetime.”
“The ability for athletes to get hired is carried on through you because you are putting out the message that lessons learned from sports are important in life. It is embedded in this podcast, what you’re doing is significant.”
We speak the same language. I am inspired by the stories you tell, the people you have met, and the things you’ve done. Those of us that are competitors like to follow others that have been down that journey, so it is always fun talking to you!”
“Many of the leaders I have worked with were excellent athletes, and I think there is a direct correlation. You’re one of the few people that really has pursued this study, Don. Keep up the great work. What you are doing really makes a difference.”
“Don, you have mastered the skill of interviewing and asking great questions. That is a great skill all leaders need in order to understand their team members’ thought processes.”
