In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Casey discuss: How growing up in Washington, D.C. in the 80s and 90s affected Casey’s view of the world and his foundation. Being part of the worst team in NFL history and being part of a Super Bowl-winning team. Effectively stewarding money to better serve God’s kingdom. Loving and valuing people and living life in the community. Key Takeaways: What matters is how you show up each day and the relationships built along the way - in sports and in life. God is profoundly generous and wants to bless our lives, even if we don’t see it at the moment. The things that feel like a sacrifice and are hard will, in hindsight, often prove to be the provision and the things that allowed your future growth. It is possible to break the cycle of poverty. But it is a society-wide effort - one person cannot do all the work, but one person can prove that what society is doing now is not enough and can show a better way. "The Lord made each one of us completely unique, and He didn't do replicas. There's a calling that is going to give us unique opportunities, unique relationships that only we have, and only we can steward and submit, with courage, to God." — Casey Crawford About Casey Crawford: Casey Crawford is the co-founder and CEO of Movement Mortgage, a top 10 national retail mortgage lender and a six-time member of the Inc. 5000 list. The movement originated $30 billion in residential mortgages in 2020 and gave $200 million of its profit to the Movement Foundation. Casey is also the chairman of Movement Bank and founder and chairman of Movement Schools, a network of tuition-free public charter schools providing world-class academics and character education in underserved neighborhoods. Based on his belief that a business should be judged not by what it extracts from a community, but rather, by how much it gives, Casey founded the nonprofit Movement Foundation as a vehicle to bring life, light, and hope to others. To date, it has received $260 million of company profit to invest in schools, communities, and nonprofits around the world. Casey has been recognized as a John Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award recipient, Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, HousingWire Vanguard award recipient, and a Charlotte Business Journal Most Admired CEO. He has been featured by national media outlets, including CNBC, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Fox Business, Inc. Magazine, and HousingWire. A Super Bowl champion, Casey played tight end for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2000-2003. He graduated from the University of Virginia with All-ACC honors in football and academics. Casey is an avid outdoorsman and accomplished Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor. He lives outside Charlotte, N.C., with his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Cadie and Josie.
