    Jon Adams: The Miracle That Saved Me After Losing Everything

    In this powerful episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Jon Adams, a partner in a billion-dollar wealth management firm, for one of the most heartfelt and faith-filled conversations in the series. Jon opens up about growing up in his grandfather’s truck, learning grit and integrity on the family sod farm, and discovering entrepreneurship through pure initiative long before he built a career in finance. The heart of this conversation centers on unimaginable loss. At age 34, Jon’s wife, Janelle, passed away suddenly, leaving him to raise four young children alone. What follows is a story of grace and divine timing; of friends and family who showed up when he could not stand on his own, and of faith that deepened through tragedy. Jon shares sacred experiences that reshaped his understanding of God’s presence, the power of community, and the beauty of second chances when he later met and married singer-songwriter Callie Reed.

    Daniel O’Donnal | How He Bootstrapped Saela Pest Control from Scratch to a Nine-Figure Exit

    In this episode, Casey sits down with Daniel O’Donnal, Owner of Saela Pest Control, for a deeply human conversation on leadership, identity, and what it means to build something meant to last. From bootstrapping a business from scratch to a nine-figure exit, Daniel reflects on 17 years of grit, partnership, and the belief that real success is measured by the lives you impact, not just the profits you earn. He shares lessons learned from his partners, Andrew and Blaine Richardson, and the moments that nearly broke them; going without paychecks, homes on the line, and the humility of starting over.

    Doug Robinson: Building, Breaking, and Beginning Again

    In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Doug Robinson; entrepreneur, operator, and founder of LGCY Power, for an unfiltered look at what it really means to bet everything on conviction. From a teenage lawn business to leading one of the fastest-growing solar companies in the country, Doug’s story is a masterclass in grit, humility, and relentless alignment. He opens up about the collapse of Atlas, what it’s like to hold the title but not the control, and how those failures forged his philosophy on leadership and ownership. Doug also unpacks his legal battle with Vivint Solar and Blackstone; the confidence it took to keep showing up when the odds were impossible, and how faith and forgiveness became central to his rebuild.
