CASE STUDIES

What if the future of education isn’t bigger—but smaller, more personal, and radically student-driven?
In this episode of Case Studies, Casey Baugh sits down with Matt Clayton, founder of Slope School, to explore how traditional schools are being disrupted by a new, human-centered model. From working at Goldman Sachs to studying under Clayton Christensen, Matt shares how autonomy, real-world learning, and community are transforming how kids learn.

You’ll hear why Slope School focuses on mastery over credentials, how AI is accelerating student growth, and why building identity is the most important part of education. This episode is packed with insights for parents, educators, and entrepreneurs who care about the next generation.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Sharon Eubank, Director of Humanitarian Services for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and former global advocate at forums like the United Nations and the G20 Interfaith Forum. Sharon shares the unlikely path that led her from a shy girl growing up in Bountiful, Utah to speaking on some of the world’s most influential stages.

Through stories of a life shaped by faith, entrepreneurship, public service, and global humanitarian work, Sharon reflects on the mentors, risks, and defining moments that built her leadership philosophy. She discusses lessons from serving a mission in Finland, working in the U.S. Senate, running a small business, and eventually overseeing humanitarian initiatives impacting millions across the globe.

Throughout the conversation, Casey and Sharon explore the power of loving people, leading with humility, and building trust across cultures, especially in complex regions like the Middle East. Sharon also shares how real leadership often means stepping into roles you don’t feel fully qualified for and growing into them through service.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Dan Hardle, founder and CEO of Agent Boost Marketing, for a candid conversation about discipline, delayed gratification, and the long game of wealth building.

Before the transaction, before the scale, before the family office, there were years of uncertainty. A short sale. Medical debt. Utilities shut off. Three kids at home. And a decision that would define everything that followed. Instead of upgrading his lifestyle as income grew, Dan chose to reinvest. Again and again. While others consumed, he compounded.

Dan walks through the psychology behind living lean, the courage it took to walk away from stability, and why betting on himself with no safety net ultimately built a far bigger life. He and Casey unpack the tension between identity and ownership, what changes after selling a company, and how to transition from operator to capital allocator without losing who you are.

This episode is a powerful reminder that real wealth is built quietly, patiently, and long before anyone notices.
