1990s: High school dropout, homeless, and a teen father. 2010s: Millionaire, globally famous, flying all over the world in first class every time. That's quite the turn-around. Kudos to you sir!

is it just me or is this really really inspiring?

He was a good father. Despite the divorce he would always keep some money to travel and see his kid, it's something many men wouldn't do. This is great!

"im 33 and have no intention of slowing down." 5 years 2 kids and millions of dollars and now you're just chillin in L.A. what a life

all the people who say the only reason he has subscribers is because he's rich, really should watch this

Casey started vlogging before vlog was even a word. 👌🏽

You probably won’t see this, but this was wonderful.

First youtube video: "me at the zoo" Casey's first movie: "my son at the zoo"

Casey has to be one of the most influential and interesting people on earth. He has a such a crazy story in only 33 years, he's done so much and his work is so unique. Thank you for making videos Casey from all of us, we really truly do appreciate it.

Man,, his face was the same when he was a kid! At 1:50

Whose here watching this absolute work of art in 2020

that Owen's smile at 9:45 - it makes me feel emotional and almost crying...

the relationship between him and his son after all that he went through in his own childhood/teenage life shows how he doesn’t want his son to struggle the way he did, how he cared for him more than anything, what a great role-model, this is so inspirational and powerful. Really touching. ❤️

From a poor guy to one of the best youtubers man I salute you

Who’s watching after he said he was leaving New York?

Owen's 21 now... Wow time flies - This video is so inspirational for so many Casey (like so many others on your channel) - Glad to see you back 🌹🌈☀

so happy for him that he got the chance to makeup every thing for his son .. I wish I had a dad like him

Sorry I'm kinda late, but this is one of the best videos I ever watched. Ever.

I've been casually following Casey for years, but now trying to fuddle my way through making videos about our travels at sea, I'm watching more in earnest. And, yep. I think this is the most inspiring story I've ever heard.

4 years later. I´ve never seen your story before, Casey. Loved it. So inspiring!

I wanna be like Casey when I grow up. He's the coolest 30-something year old I can think of.

after seeing this, i have a lot more respect for this guy.

I am literally watching this a day after his 39th bday... took me so long to realize... Happy Birthday Casey 🎉🎉 You r such a big inspiration💫✨🤗

So inspiring how he really built himself up from rock bottom. That shows that anyone has the potential to do anything, you just have to make it happen. Thanks for this Casey.

I didnt know a thing about him, Thought he always had alot of money, but watching this made me realize how hard he had to have worked to get where he is today

Casey I'm so glad I discovered your channel recently. Your content is so unique and just REAL. Keep creating, you're a legend!

Casey I love you with all my heart. You’re such an inspiration. Please always remember that.

"you know those days when you are in a rush to get somewhere and catch every green light? That's what my life's been like"

They should make a Movie out of his Story :D

Now that there's no Vlog's, I watch Casie's old movies.

First time a youtube video made me cry. Can't express how thankful I am to you casey. I am very new in your channel but man you are so good. Thanks for inspiring still in 2020. 5 years old still this vlog is a gold

Idk why but every video Casey makes is just quality. You have to appreciate the effort he puts into documenting his life and now he shares it with us in ANOTHER quality video.

I am shocked.. I am watching this on 18 july 2018.. i watched so many episodes on your channel about tripping and other stuffs.and i thought u must be rich or you had some money inherited something like that.. I never thought a life like this. HUGE RESPECT TO YOU FOR PULLING EVERY THING TOGETHER AND NOT LOOSING HOPE IN YOU!

This literally is one of the best Draw My Life Videos I have ever seen, and it makes me kinda sad actually. The way Casey went trough all of this... He is successful, has an own company, everything. I am pretty much trying to do the same and achieve becoming a filmmaker or programmer, but here in Germany things go different. I want to move out soon as well, but the thing is no one can do the exact same steps Casey did to become successful. People here are unfriendly, there are no job opportunities except for becoming a farmer, and becoming a filmmaker is the hardest thing to do at all. I am sick of my country... The way it behaves and is drags me down every day, I just want to get out of here, meet new people. Actually, why not move to NYC as well? KZfaq has been up for several years now, but trying to focus on YT now is pretty worthless. Casey used his chances by discovering KZfaq in the early days. Now there are just too many channels and people there. To be honest, I wish my life was harder, so I would actually work for something. Im just sitting at home every day, thinking how to improve my life. It leads nowhere. Casey achieved so much I will never even be able to see... But I cant leave my family, and Germany isnt helping in any way at all. Of course he only Vlogs when he's in good mood, but things seem to be running great for him. The way we get education here drives me crazy. Its pretty much useless when 90% of what we do is unneeded. School doesn't teach us how to live life. How to be successful. How to become a Filmmaker. I dont know what to do... I need a new start.

Pure class Casey....... hard work determination wrapped up with manners and pure decency. I’ve been watching for many years and will continue to do so........... thank you.

damn didn't even know he had a kid. hell i didn't even know he was like 30

You are an amazing guy

When I first came across Casey I thought this guys a KZfaqr , earns loads of money like the others doesn't put effort in...... , until I saw this. I felt bad, selfish and undeserved I truly am sorry Casey. You had a hard life and battled your way through the ups and downs of life and for you this was hard,very hard. You deserve it man your ambition to make films became a reality and you proved that well and truly. I now have great determination and respect for you. Keep it up man , good for you, and ' keep on going' like you said in this episode! Thanks Ollie

Damn! Still watching this in 2020 while still in quarantine. I never realized that Casey had this kind of life before. You truly deserve everything you got right now Casey. You're videos inspire me so much. Really amazed by the amount of enthusiasm you got in making all of these videos. I hope you don't stop making videos.

31 and now starting my KZfaq journey, thank you Casey for inspiring me.

This is guy is such an inspiration. Maybe not for me because I don't intend on doing film, but I'm sure he is for many others. He's such a great dude.

Dude you might have just saved my life.. I'm in tears and not even kidding.

Casey, speechless, simply speechless. Your crude, raw, and personal way of delivering a story is more passionate than a lot of major blockbuster films. Thank you for the inspiration, and a light in the "Casey Story"

I will always come back to this video whenever i need inspiration. I’ve probably watched it 20 times by now and it never gets old

IDK why but every draw my life had a divorce

He was a dish washer... And his dad sold... Dishwashers...

While there's life, there's hope. There's always something you can do and succeed at. This is the real definition....I've been watching this video almost everyday to remind myself of the message

This gives me goosebumps, this makes me understand consistency is very important. Sometimes it’s really not you are not working hard enough, but that you haven’t work long enough. Believe in yourself, believe one day the result will come, that’s how you reach your dream

I was thinking to myself "how could I respect this guy more?" then Daniel Johnston started playing

This is one of the best videos I've watched in the 6 years I've been on this site.

Who is watching it now in 2019 ??

this video was eye opening. it is really inspiring to know that someone as kind, talented, and smart as you are went through such an evolution!

Very inspiring, I want to do something now..but I don't know what

Made me cry. I love how you tell your stories : )

Inspiring, Casey ever since I started watching your videos, they have always brighten up my days and you showed how it is to work hard and get to where you want to get, I love the relationship you have with your son. I hope the relationship is the same with my son. You are truly an inspiration man. keep it up!

It's almost 4 years that you have posted this video and maan i saw this today and loved you story from a small child to this successful maan you don't want to stop respect man♥️

Is it just me or does every KZfaqr have a slightly fucked up backround

Bet that first girlfriend took a second to look back on life when she heard about that 2 mil lmao

Almost 2020 n I’m still loving and continuing to be being inspired by this video 💗

OMGGGGG CASEY. I can’t believe I’ve never watched this video. I live in São Paulo and I’m stoked to hear that one of the first times you got to present a movie to a big audience was here. Huge fan, hope you can come back here soon

What a fucking inspiration. This is easily the best #DrawMyLife video out there.

OMG baby Casey is adorbs!!!!

I saw a couple of your videos before but I thought you were one of the trivial KZfaqrs. But after watching this video and knowing about your struggles I hope I will strong enough to hustle as much as you did. Respect to you brother.

Waiting til now to binge on your videos is amazing. Being a part of it while they were coming out more frequently must have been fun, but this blast of info and entertainment and jumping back and forth between new and old has also been great Thank you Casey. Your quote about life and risk has been ringing in my ears

11:19 He only had 402,530 subscribers at this time... this was only 4 years ago...

I found this really inspiring, thank you

This video showed up in my recommendations and wow! Take a bow, Casey . I have heard so much about you and now this video, that I watched today. You are so awesome a nd so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story 💖

Everytime I need an inspiration, feeling like I am just a loser, fearing that I won’t make anything in my life, i always come to see this video, or Do What You Can’t by Casey. I love how he inspires people everyday! Thanks Casey.

Idk something about the imperfections in your movies make me happy. Your not perfect handwriting, the jumpcuts that are a little too quick, the scripted things that don't go perfect but you leave them (Turning the page with the pictures), the messy drawing it makes them movies more sincere??

your channel is a breath of fresh air.

Wow i think i needed to watch this like two years ago i have just started on youtube and the struggle is real with my own work and family and future Even though i live in egypt and the difference between egypt and usa is 18 times Meaning you spend 18 times more the effort and the time to get the exact same thing or success but i got to handed to you the story is inspiring Thank you

I'm late on the Casey train, I watched a few here and there... But not everything. Now, in self quarantine, I am watching everything! It is inspiring and I feel Casey guiding me in this storm. I'm so grateful! ❤️

i'm only 18 and i always thought that i won't go anywhere in life because there's no particular career that I'm passionate about... i wish i'll find it just like you did. there's still time

I finished a math quiz super early to watch this video, but your life is an extraordinary book with so many chapters. You and your videos inspire me to work hard and never stop. Thank you, Casey.

Casey, you are a talented man! I admire you in many ways! I’ve never had a role model of any type in my life but you! You are the one worthy of calling a real Role Model!

I can't believe that l've only stumbled across this video now. Beautiful story telling Casey. It's remarkable what you have achieved in your life. Well done 👏👏👏

casey i have a million things i wish i could tell/ask you... all i can say is that your my inspiration and thank you for everything.. I'm only 14 but i know when i grow up i want to be a filmmaker and follow your footsteps

Huge respect

Absolutely Beautiful, makes me believe that my dreams are actually attainable even though it’s seems like they aren’t many times. Always an inspiration Casey :)

Rest In Peace Daniel Johnston, whose song appears shortly after 12:05

one of the best videos I have ever seen .

casey:we where really poor 10yrs later 21,000 first class airplane seat

Dude, you inspire me to keep going. I work as a dishwasher and food courier during most of the days (and nights) doing whatever I can to make money. But during my free time, I'm also a photographer and musician and a few other stuff, and even though they don't generate any money yet, the lack of that doesn't stop me from working on achieving the dream: the dream of making a living doing what I love and basically having a better life. And people like you inspire me to not give up, especially now.

Love Casey 's relationship he 's had with his first kid . He did everything possible to know him better and bond with him thru travels and doing stuff together. Brilliant .

is it just me or this is the best draw my life!

How could this many people dislike this? This is one of the most inspirational videos on KZfaq. A break from all the Logan and Jake Paul drama and all that. It's a beautiful story. Thank you for providing us with this content today, Casey!

Everytime im down or im feeling lost i just watch this video again. Thank you Casey for being one of my biggest inspirations. The fact that we share pretty much the same situations makes me feel i still can go for it. Im 24. I have a 5 years old. I live in NYC. Im trying very hard. I will make it.

Casey is such an inspirational and interesting person! Love how he fights for his dreams and it makes me happy that he is so successful now. He really deserves it. ☺️🎥💕

This is the most unique draw my life videos

I don't watch many KZfaq videos over 10 minutes, but this was incredible. Have followed you and your videos for awhile and just wanted to say thanks. This world needs more storytellers, and you're sure leading the back and restoring the art, as well as inspiring many to do the same (myself included).

Man I think this is one of ur best video ever made!!!! U are just amazing !!!good on u!!!

5 years later, still such an amazing video. Really inspiring.

how does this man not have 1,000,000 subscribers?

I love how you grew from your unlucky moments and capitalized and never quit on your lucky opportunities. Your success is well deserved.

This is such a great little film...you have such a great story Casey and you said it so well. I identify totally with your journey and hope I can do the same for my son ..its inspiring

Don’t know why people disliking this video... what’s the bad in this? Feels so inspiring for me. Loved your story and your life brother..

Such a heart warming story Casey! You inspired me more than ever to not give up on becoming a filmmaker thank you for sharing your story!

The best Draw My Life stories always depict from rags to riches.

Heyyyyo casey! I am SUPERR HAPPY of how you been doing right now and you living your best life!! I've only subscribed to you for like, not even a week and you are now one of my favorite youtubers, when i watch your videos i feel like am right there in NYC, i have been to NYC before and I just feel so close to it, its a great feeling! When i first watch your videos like i felt like an OUTSIDE-EXTERNAL way I knew a little bit about you. But i was debating whether I should watch this one because I have seen other youtubers' Draw My Life ones and they made me emotional but I eventually watched YOURS!!!...I gotta say...as a subscriber for just a few days, I never thought this video (your story) would get me inside like a connection like any other Draw My Life one because i have been doing through similar things as u too but your individual life I never thought you went through these hard events in your life and so many things were going on and it got to me so so so much but you managed to get through them and it makes me PROUD!! 😁👏. About that it made me realize that other people have a story too! And Of Course at the end I got emotional😥..So I hope you keep doing what you are doing now as always and keep making everyone, especially me proud and happy! And am looking forward to meeting you and talking to you someday!! Have an amazing life From A🤘❤

I enjoyed watching this video so much and absolutely loving your storytelling style!!! Thank you for all your beautiful videos 🙏
