Casey Baugh is a 40-year-old investor, operator, board member, advisor, husband, and father of 5. During his 13 year tenure at Vivint, Casey played a critical role in sales leadership helping grow revenue from $30M to $1B. Later he Co-Founded & is a Managing Partner of Sandlot Partners, a private investment firm that has deployed over 350 million dollars since inception.

He has also advised and invested in the early stages of several successful operating companies like Pura Fragrances, Dental Intelligence, Divvy Pay, and Breeze Airways. Casey is regularly sought out by young professionals and students for his ability to mentor and help them navigate and optimize their own career path and enjoys teaching entrepreneurship as an adjunct professor at BYU to undergraduate students. I've personally known Casey since 2010 when I worked as an executive assistant at Vivint, and in the past couple of years, I noticed that each Sunday he would repost several people's Instagram stories, tagging him in their "Sunday planning sessions." I was super curious to know what this process was all about since so many people practice this and share it weekly. Casey graciously agreed to come on my podcast and share not only the process of his Sunday planning that he's taught over the years to so many people, but also the backstory of what led him in life to all of his success and some of the pitfalls that created pathways to what he wouldn't have chosen for himself, but led to greater things that God had in store for him.
