Casey Crawford is the co-founder and CEO of Movement Mortgage, one of the 10 largest purchased mortgage lenders in the country, and a company that's known for giving almost half of its profits back to the community. Really? In fact, the day after this podcast was recorded, Movement Mortgage announced they're investing $100 million to build 100 new schools nationwide over the next 10 years through the Movement Foundation.

That's in addition to three charter schools in Charlotte that the Movement Foundation already is built.

And they've turned surrounding property into community centers, after school mentoring spaces, affordable housing centers, and wellness centers, right next door to the schools.

According to Casey, it's the holistic approach that's needed for true generational change

in underserved communities.

And it's a model for giving back that other companies can follow.

Rick and Casey talk a lot about that and also about that one time Casey won the Super Bowl.

Really?

This is three things with Casey Crawford.

Well, today I have one of the coolest dudes in Charlotte with me. He's a dear friend.

He's built an amazing business, but what I admire about him the most is the kind of guy he is.

Casey Crawford, welcome to our podcast. How are you, dude?

I'm really good, and I'm really nervous

because you always ask me the hardest questions

of any person I get to.

And somehow I just keep coming back for more.

So I look forward to our time together,

and I'm also terrified at the same time.

It's a really odd experience.

Oh, that is funny.

And we have no wine on this one.

None, no is funny. And we have no wine on this one. None, none, unfortunately. We're going with coffee and tea. So listen, I want people to get to know you the way that I have gotten to know you. And I so admire the way you go about living life. So I want to start with you grew up in Virginia and you tell me all sorts of stories of a different upbringing than people think.
