Casey is Joyous and Incandescent which is a beyond fabulous way to traverse Life.
My next door neighbour is 12 years old an only child who is high functioning autistic and I introduced him to Casey 4 years ago.
Casey changed Laird's world.
We bought him a skate board and drove him to a skate park several times a week.
Just by being himself he now has friends that care about him and what he can add to the Friendship group.
My Heartfelt ❤ gratitude for Laird now lives with what is possible in Life thanks to Casey and all his vlogs.

100% Casey became part of my life during his daily vlogs. My husband and i lived in a horrible little town in Central VT and opened a small store, working 60-70 hours a week. I remember EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. as I was counting the change for the next day's cash drawer, all I could think about was going upstairs (where we lived) so I could go lose myself in Casey's vlog. It was a LIFESAVER for my sanity. thank you, Casey. I will never ever forget that.

I feel Casey on the patience part. Took 5 years for my company to be successful and for those 5 years I felt like a loser since it didn't seem like anything was going to come from it. It's incredibly important to go all in when the opportunity shows up. Just make sure you make time for balance when it does so you don't burn yourself out.

Crazy to see that Casey mentions us on this podcast at 1:41:50 - A big thanks to Steven for getting Casey on the pod, he truly is one of the best film makers of our time and just a genuine, caring guy.

Thank you Steven and team for brining Casey on. I’ve been a fan of him for many years and it’s my first time hearing his story in such a raw, real way. I always felt “less than” because I had no aspirations to be “successful” in the conventional sense. For Casey to be where he is yet not preaching “work hard , persist, you can make it” is refreshing. Love this guy! ❤

“Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet”- loved that. I just started my journey into YouTube creation as a new mom. We live on a boat, life is beautiful and also can feel so challenging. But I know this life is so rich and abundant compared so many other places in the world. It’s important to know that. My whole goal is to share value to people who take the time to watch & dive into my life because their time is valuable! I’m working on that day after day as I continue this pursuit. Thanks for creating this, it made a difference to me. ❤

this guy is a modern philosopher... all my life... all my youth I was lost... but I started doing things... things that over time I learned to really hate... and from there I found what love... "If you don't know what to do... do what you hate..." that is the result of 30 years of pure and condensed meditation on how life works...
