How to Lead Like a Visionary: Super Bowl Champion and CEO of Movement Mortgage Casey Crawford

Key Takeaways

After winning a Super Bowl, Casey realized achievement and money weren’t ultimately fulfilling and chose a purpose-driven path focused on loving his neighbor and creating impact.

He built Movement Mortgage in the wake of the 2007–08 crisis to model values-based leadership and invest heavily in communities through the Movement Foundation and education initiatives.

His success formula centers on small daily habits—prayer/Bible time and accountable midday workouts—and relentlessly asking how to add value to his team and community, because consistency compounds.

Top Quotes

One of the most powerful concepts in my life is that consistency compounds.

There's got to be something more.

I wake up every day and go, man, how can I bring value to my team? How can I add value to my team's life?

Episode Summary

Superbowl Champion, CEO, visionary.

What does one do when they reach the top of the sports world and hoist the Lombardi Trophy as a member of a Super Bowl championship team?

Well, if you’re Casey Crawford you ask questions like, “Is this what it’s all about?”
You say things like, “I want more.” To do more that is.

When the mortgage industry collapsed in 2007, Casey saw greed and corruption among leaders in the industry, a lack of value toward employees, and a neglect toward community problems. He saw opportunity where others saw obstacles. He saw an opportunity to change how banking was done for the benefit of the industry, the employees, and the community.

So, he co-founded Movement Mortgage. He’s not just talked the talk, he’s walked the walk. The Movement Foundation has invested more than $25 million toward community improvement and meeting the needs of the underserved around the world.

From a bone-crunching  first play in the NFL to a leader in the banking industry, Casey shares his story and his secrets to success in this episode of Success Through Failure.
