CASE STUDIES

In part one of this episode, Casey sits down with Fesi Sitake, wide receivers coach at BYU and a rare figure who has spent his entire coaching career without ever leaving Utah. Fesi's story is not just a football story; it is a study in how a person rebuilds themselves. He walks through a childhood shaped by poverty, a home with more than twenty relatives under one roof, the slow loss of his mother to a rare genetic disease, and the quiet mentors who refused to let him disappear. What emerges is a conversation about reinvention. Fesi shares how deliberate fresh starts, a transformative mission, and an All-American career at Southern Utah taught him that joy is a matter of focus, not circumstance. He and Casey explore the culture Kalani Sitake has built at BYU, why loyalty and love outlast pressure, and how leaders stay humble and hungry without letting their past define them. The result is a masterclass in resilience and self-belief. Anyone carrying a hard story who wants to turn it into fuel will find this hour unforgettable.The information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Delyle Bloomquist grew up homeless at times, without food, in a family torn apart by divorce and financial stress. In this episode of Case Studies, he tells Casey how a bishop's quiet decision to enroll him in a mission, and a mission president's insistence he apply to college, redirected the entire trajectory of his life. Delyle unpacks the career that followed: leading turnarounds for global chemical businesses, running Tata's chemical division, and serving as CEO of Rainier Advanced Materials. He explains why equity has to cascade past the C-suite, why crisis reveals who truly runs toward the fire, and why divine providence only shows up after you've done everything within your own power. A conversation about resourcefulness, resilience, and the small acts that quietly change a life.The information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Zack Andersen started as a 15-year-old fridge stocker and car detailer, got paid to read books, and turned that habit into a 7-figure career by age 23. Casey sits down with Zack to trace the blueprint behind that transformation, from door-to-door sales to managing teams to a life he once couldn't imagine.Their conversation covers role models, momentum, and the discipline of not quitting when accounts aren't closing and the weather turns cold. Zack's formula: get clear on what you want, find people who've already done it, extract their blueprint, refuse to stop.What emerges is a story less about talent and more about identity, habit, and compounding effort over a decade. A masterclass in the quiet mechanics behind big outcomes.[00:00] Introducing Zack Andersen and Today's the Day[02:27] Wrapping Three Seasons of the Podcast[02:53] An Improbable 18-Year Friendship[03:16] Meeting at the Dunns' House[06:24] Casey's Own God Moments with Alex[15:16] Why This Story Deserves a Scientific Breakdown[18:31] The Porsche, the Books, and the Hook[22:00] Chaos as Fuel, Not Excuse[27:09] The $100 Book Habit Explained[31:38] Tasting Success on a Vegas Flight[38:29] The Brutal First Summer Selling[42:24] Locked Out in Spain, Told No[48:08] You Can't Beat Someone Who Won't Quit[1:02:04] The Blueprint: Clarity, Examples, Never Quit[1:31:40] Zack's Future Top Ten DreamsThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Casey goes solo in this episode of Case Studies to talk about the tool that has quietly rewritten how he leads, invests, and communicates: artificial intelligence. Casey has always leaned on soft skills, people, strategy, hard work, while depending on others to fill the gaps in hard skills like finance, accounting, and writing. Over the past year that dependency has disappeared.He walks through real examples from his own life: rebuilding class presentations for his course, restructuring his family office's balance sheet, sharpening his writing despite a lifelong struggle with it, and gaining access to expert-level advice on demand. The throughline is pattern recognition, a concept Casey borrows from Tony Robbins, and how AI accelerates the process of identifying, copying, and eventually creating your own patterns of success.[00:00] The AI Arms Race Nobody Can Ignore[01:21] Hard Skills Versus Soft Skills[02:20] Henry Ford And Commoditized Expertise[03:20] Rebuilding My BYU Class Deck[05:33] Family Office Strategy At Home[06:40] Sensitivity Analysis On Sensitive Decisions[07:41] Learning Accounting Without An Accounting Degree[08:50] Banking Relationships Reimagined With AI[09:40] Repositioning Our Balance Sheet[10:10] Becoming A Ten Times Better Partner[10:30] Writing As A New Strength[12:00] Tony Robbins And Pattern Recognition[13:00] Fewer People, More Productivity[14:20] The Greatest Year To Be AliveThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey turns the microphone around and becomes the subject, sitting down with Dan Snow to unpack the lessons behind a life built on discipline, learning, and quiet compounding. From selling satellite systems in Des Moines to losing everything he'd earned in a single month, Casey traces the moments that shaped his belief in economic self-reliance and lifelong education, formal or otherwise.The conversation moves through Casey's investment philosophy at Sandlot Partners, his take on specialization over well-roundedness, and the deals that taught him to bet on track record and trajectory. It closes on something deeper: faith, marriage, and the deliberate work behind a 22-year partnership with Chelsea Baugh.This is a conversation about growth as identity, not achievement. Entrepreneurs and leaders will walk away rethinking what it actually takes to build something, and someone, worth keeping.[00:00] Growing Together Or Growing Apart[00:55] Education Versus Hustle[02:45] Teaching Entrepreneurship At BYU[04:05] Dropping Out To Sell[06:00] The Dignity Of Self-Reliance[08:36] Losing It All In 2008[10:58] Committing To Lifelong Learning[12:55] The Accounting Insecurity[15:25] Strengths Over Well-Rounded[17:52] Coach Pope And Trajectory[21:28] What Makes A Great Founder[26:00] Character Versus Competency[28:00] Life Happening For You[41:53] Faith On The Periphery[47:22] What He Loves About Chelsea BaughThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.
