Casey Wood works remotely for Under Armour and started a unique passion project: an educational hobby farm

There are countless success stories of how remote work has changed lives for the better.

Casey Wood seized the opportunity of remote work during the pandemic and bought a 30 acre parcel of land overlooking Canandaigua Lake. 

While still working as a Senior National Account Manager for Under Armour, Casey has started growing crops and raising animals in the hopes of creating a business of his own.

Here are a few things you'll learn about in today's episode:

1. The strategic decisions that helped Under Armour go from garage business where every employee was a friend of the owner to contender with the likes of Nike in only 6 years, and how that all came crashing down (and how it's been built back up again)

2. What the perfect animal is for aerating your soil and creating sustainable farmland

3. Where book knowledge and hands on knowledge meet and how to continually innovate to see massive growth

4. What the future holds for the next generation staring down the barrel of Facebook Meta

5. A Will Smith quote that flies in the face of conventional wisdom
