In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Jim Herrmann, former BYU football captain, NFL player, entrepreneur, and business development leader at HGGC, for an inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the relationships that shape a meaningful career.

Jim reflects on his journey from a small-town kid in Wisconsin to winning a national championship at BYU, learning from legendary figures like Lavell Edwards and Jim McMahon, and navigating the highs and lows of a professional football career cut short by injury. He shares how those early lessons in discipline, perseverance, and leadership translated to the business world; from co-founding a pioneering SaaS company in the early days of the internet to building a career connecting people and creating value in private equity.

This episode dives deep into what it means to push through hardship, embrace new opportunities, and own your unique strengths. For entrepreneurs, athletes, and anyone seeking to grow through transition, Jim’s story is a masterclass in resilience, humility, and the power of relationships.
