    Nov 4 2025

    It’s episode 13 of The Golfing CEO, and today’s guest is another “chance connection” who fortuitously found his way to the show after it launched. Join Derek and author, speaker, and executive coach, Casey Jacox, as they dive into all things sales, entrepreneurship, and – yes – parenting!
