In this powerful episode, Casey Parram walks us through his life journey, from abandonment and emotional struggles to building a successful business and becoming a father. With an open heart, he shares how his experiences of loss, his turbulent football career, and, later, the challenges of fatherhood all shaped his personal and professional life. Now a successful business coach, Casey uses his past to help others find balance, clarity, and fulfilment. Timeline of Key Events: Childhood: Casey grew up without his biological father, leading to deep feelings of abandonment. At 16, his mother’s divorce from his stepfather intensified these emotions, leading to rebellious behaviour and difficulty processing his trauma. Teen Years (16): Casey’s bad attitude affected his promising football career. Conflicts with coaches and a lack of focus due to personal struggles led him to walk away from the sport, despite his natural talent. Early Adulthood (18-20): After being rejected by Oxford University, Casey left education behind and dove into entrepreneurship. He sought out successful mentors, interning and eventually starting his own businesses, striving to prove himself. Fatherhood (22): Becoming a father at 22 was a pivotal moment. Casey struggled with feelings of inadequacy and fear of abandonment, which led him to seek therapy to address the emotional wounds from his childhood and improve his relationship with his son. Personal Growth (Mid-20s): Therapy helped Casey confront his fear of rejection and abandonment, which had affected his business and personal relationships. This shift allowed him to step back from overworking, prioritize family, and redefine success on his terms. Current Life: Now a fractional CMO and business coach, Casey helps entrepreneurs align their business goals with personal fulfilment. His focus is on achieving work-life balance and emotional clarity, ensuring success in both business and personal life.…
